Holy shit: "AESTHETICS OF HATE: R.I.P. DIMEBAG ABBOTT, & GOOD RIDDANCE." I would hope it's a joke. Whatever it is, it sure pissed off a bunch of people over here.

Crap. My co-worker Nancy's last day is today. I'm gonna miss her a lot. Not every 50-year-old book editor is hip enough to trade Napoleon Dynamite references with me.

DAMMIT. I just thought of what would have been the perfect going-away present for her. We've had many discussions about Office Space, and I didn't even think about getting her a red Swingline stapler like Milton's. And she had even begged me a while back to send her the link to where you can buy them! Totally dropped the ball on that one. Maybe I'll get her one for Festivus.

Heading south this weekend. GRACK! I have way too much stuff to do before then. But I'm really looking forward to seeing the family, getting away from work, and recharging the ol' batteries. I haven't taken any extended time off in a year.

Hehe, I know! I always bring back at least 3-4 cartons, which can last me a few months.

Do you know where you can get fresh raw peanuts up there? I don't remember seeing them around here, but I haven't checked farmer's markets or anything.

I smoke so little up here, since it isn't allowed in bars and restaurants, and none of my friends here smoke. In Georgia, I could buy a carton from my local convenience store for $23.99--name brand! I don't think you can do that in MA with the worst off brand cigarettes. It's crazy!

I honestly have no idea where to buy raw peanuts up here. They'll be at the Winn Dixie next month, so I'm just going to have someone send them to me. It'll probably be a lot less expensive, too.

Okay, great. Now I want boiled peanuts, cheese grits and a full meal at Waffle House!
