The more things change, the more they get different.

This is the first Christmas that we've had cats. Right now the Christmas tree is up, and it has one (unbreakable) ornament hanging on a low branch as an experiment. The most important item on stuartc's shopping list? Water pistol.

I don't think we're going to be able to put lights on it at all, unless we can somehow make them completely Findo-proof. I'm told cats eventually grow out of the chewing through electrical cords stage, but it hasn't happened for this one yet.

Yesterday I put together version 0.01 of next year's set list for the band. I've been at this job almost an entire year! And I'm planning into the future that far again. I guess that means they're stuck with me. (-:

Next year's gig is going to be weird. I'm pushing to sing on "a couple" of songs, and Paul wants to play bass on "some" songs. We have a bunch of new songs we want to do, which means we're going to have to drop some of the old ones. And I bet at least one person in the band will leave Alpine in the next 12 months. I don't know why I think that, I just do.

2005 has been a very good year. Especially when compared to 2004.

At some point in the next year or two, I will have lived in LA longer than I lived in Scotland. Fortunately, we spent so much of 2004 travelling that it will probably be impossible to determine exactly when this happens, so maybe I won't dwell on it too much.

spray bottles are better then water pistols. They don't leak as much and can be gotten at the dollar store. Plus they don't require as much aiming and have much less force (so you don't have to worry about a hard spray in the eye)
