Joyeux Noël

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Spain is the main landing point in Europe for cocaine smuggled from Latin America

My travel plans have changed once again; i have to be home two days early from nashville.
Roy has a fancy new job, so we will most likely go to Europe this summer, and I think in 2008 there will be only ONE place to go and that is the olympics in Beijing.

I saw this on the West Mall yesterday:
I'm not sure what they are trying to say, or what the connection is between communism and Christmas. I guess they're making fun of what the ACLU has done to Christmas or something, I dunno. The thing that Mr. Marx is holding on the right says 'child porn' on it.



Lifes the same Im moving in stereo
Lifes the same except for my shoes
Lifes the same youre shakin like tremolo
Lifes the same its all inside you

Its so easy to blow up your problems
Its so easy to play up your breakdown
Its so easy to fly through a window
Its so easy to fool with the sound

Its so tough to get up
Its so tough
Its so tough to live up
Its so tough on you

Lifes the same Im moving in stereo
Lifes the same except for my shoes
Lifes the same youre shakin like tremolo
Lifes the same its all inside you

Lifes the same Im moving in stereo
Lifes the same except for my shoes
Lifes the same youre shakin like tremolo
Lifes the same its all inside you



I saw this online yesterday, a sweet building in Tokyo:



I pic of Austin that I took from the mall parking lot:

sigh

coooooool

wtf?

grr

Well I've modified my christmas travel plans a bit.
I was going to fly from houston to toronto on dec. 27th, then return on jan 3rd. On jan 5th, i was going to fly from houston to nashville to visit my sister, but my dad decided to stay in toronto until the 5th for business, so now I will fly from toronto to nashville (via cleveland) on the 5th.
I was really excited this morning because it looked like i would be able to connect in New york instead of cleveland, and have an 8 hour layover, allowing me to spend a little bit of time in manhattan.
BUT, the bastard airline will not let me have the evening flight from NY-nashville w/ out paying a bunch of money or a lot of miles I don't have.
So its YYZ-CLE-BNA.
Oh well. I will at least get a couple more days in Toronto.

favorite parts

some of them, anyway

Yeah, I tried to change the language of the date to Norwegian, but in the end I decided that there is simply no match for Catalan.
It got down to the thirties today, and will be similarly cold tomorrow, but sunny, so it will get up to the sixties during the day. So I guess it won't be similarly cold; fuck you.
My design professor will not be in studio tommorrow as he is in London accepting an award [for his firm] from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). However, I cannot find anything about him or his firm on the RIBA website or his firm's, so maybe he lied. Maybe he'll be at home freebasing heroin. Nah, he'd probably go somewhere else to do that.
I went up to the arboretum today to get some christmas gift ideas. I came up w/ some, and I saw this in Barnes & Noble and thought it was hilarious:
I'm glad I have an ultra sleek camera that fits in my pocket.
I also visited the new Ikea in Round Rock a couple of weeks ago. That was pretty much a total waste of time; it's not as big or cool as the one in Houston. But I did get to ride on some of the new tollways, which was kind of cool. Now I can avoid I35 when going to Round Rock, which isn't that often because the suburbs make me want to shoot someone.

Dubai:

This is supposed to be in NYC somewhere:




Well she's fashionably lean, and she's fashionably late
She'll never wreck a scene, she'll never break a date
But she's no drag, just watch the way she walks
She's a twentieth century fox, she's a twentieth century fox
No tears, no fears, no ruined years, no clocks
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
She's the queen of cool, and she's the lady who waits
Sent to manless school, it never hesitates
She wont waste time on elementary talk
'cause she's a twentieth century fox, she's a twentieth century fox
Got the world locked up, inside a plastic box
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox

take that, Kim Jong Il

hehe
oh NO
this is cool


Week before last I saw an advanced screening of Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. It was visually stunning and quite entertaining, but it left me wanting more.
I couldn't sleep last night, so at 4:30 this morning I got out of bed and watched part of Empire of the Sun, which stars a 13 y/o Christian Bale.
The final review for our design project is next wednesday, and only today I figured out where the bathrooms will go. There's still a lot to be worked out, and I'm a little scared.
My dad and stepmom bought a miniature schnauzer yesterday. Her name is Bella.
Christmas is just around the corner; I already have a good idea of what I'm getting, however very little about what I will be giving.


a pic I took the day after Thanksgiving. I had to park on the roof when I went to the galleria, which, as you can see, has it's advantages.
