Okay, stuff about me first, links afterwards, so you can skip the first five things if you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about me. *sniff*

WOO! If you’re willing to pay the long distance charges, I HAVE VOICEMAIL NOW!!!! Yeah! I figured, hell, I’ll sign up for this free voicemail thingy and see what happens. So, if you have the time or desire, gimmie a buzz! (202) 777-2641 x8740

Wow! There’s a new site on the list of folks linking to me! So, tit for tat, Dubliminal is perma linked on the side and well worth it! Check out the site, lots of good readin’ and more! I can’t believe I didn’t find this before!

BlogDex’s Social Network Explorer for J’s Notes Kinda depressing that the “linked to by” part is blank.

Too late for Christmas, but I figured, hell, why not make an Amazon.com wish list! So, I’m working on that today, I’ll probably have a link for it soon. Not that anyone’s going to buy me anything off of it, but that it’s just cool to have and see what all I want but don’t really have. Yet.

All I want for Christmas is my own domain and a place to put my site

And I just got off the phone with mom. She moved to California a little over a week ago. Never been more than an hour away from her for more than, say, two weeks at a time, really. I miss her.

Okay, I’m a sap, but, hell, she’s on the otherside of the freakin country and is almost crying every time I talk to her now. Kinda gets to ya after a while unless you’re a heartless bastard.

Which I can be at times.

But I’m not now.

Speaking of mom’s, I need to make a visit to Mrs. Garcia…

I’m a comic geek I’ll admit it. So I get really pissed when other comic geeks are ignorant comic geeks! Okay, I’m a geek, yes, but I’m not a fanboy. There’s a difference. A fanboy has no appreciation for the art form of the business or even the stories, they’re in it for the characters. As long as the breasts are big, the costumes are tight and stuff blows up, they’re happy.

But, any comic fan worth his salt should have read or even heard of a few required books and writers. But, alas, I stumbled across a few who had no idea about the foundations of the very thing they proclaim to be fans of. Sigh.

So, I present to you my required reading for anyone who’s a comic fan or not, these books rule in their own right, some have won awards, other’s have legitimized comics as an artform, presenting it in such a manner as to differentiate it from picture books, others are just damn good.

So, go read:

PhaseOut A Flash based web browser that lets you get different skins. Hell, you can make your own! (You need IE to use it, though).

Uhhh….

Looooooooooooooong weekend… So I get off of work Friday and go home and go to this Chaunaka party being thrown by one of my former coworkers and it was a good time. Good food, folks I don’t see all that often any more but really enjoy hanging out with, and a wonderful old school bitch session about (their) work. Ah, just like the good ol’ days.

So, then, Saturday comes along and I get in a funk after trying to get some Christmas shopping done to no avail. So, I take a nap. I wake up. I’m still a little grumpy. But I go to this Tree Trimming party at my girlfriend Jenn’s aunt’s house and enjoy myself there. Well, not really.

You see, this thing starts at 7 and we show up (we being me, Jenn, Jenn’s mom and manpal Doug) around 7:05 and there’s a whole bunch of people there already. Seems they showed up at 6:20! Wow! But, guess what? Jenn’s Aunt Debbie’s still preparing food! And what are all of the guests doing? Sitting on their asses staring at a naked tree. None of them offered to help (well, a couple did, but two outta ten to fifteen equate none in my book) and they didn’t want to start on the tree because they wanted to eat first. Sigh. So, the group I arrived with, we all start helping out and ignoring the other crowd asking when the food would be ready. Grrr…

Man, that kinda stuff pisses me off. For one, if the party starts at 7, don’t be forty minutes early UNLESS you’re ready to help out. And even then, that’s kinda rude, being so early to a party you’re not even throwing. Good God, people, get some manners! Sigh. Oh yeah, and it too Jenn and me going in there and starting the tree before they got to working on it, and that was well after they ate.

Good time anyway.

Then, Sunday was “clean my dump/room” day followed by a wonderful family get together at my grandmothers. Here is where my brother Art announced that he and his girlfriend Jess were engaged! (I knew on Thursday, a day after it was official and all). So that’s the second of my brothers to be on their way to married, the first already there. Oh, did I fail to mention Art’s a year younger than me? Oh, and he and his girlfriend have only been dating three months longer than Jenn and I have. So, let the games begin!

We’re just hunkering down, preparing for the barrage of “when are you guys getting married” questions and their variation to arrive. It’s been a trickle so far, but these things usually pick up as the wedding approaches.

Congrats to Art and Jess though, Jess is a good girl and why she would volunteer to join my family is beyond me.

And then yesterday I had a day off to go shopping and pretty much got it all done. Just need to get my nephew something and I’m set.

Okay, I’m done. I’m gonna look for links later, hopefully I’ll find some good ones for ya.

I’ve been linked!!! Well, more referenced. You can find me at Crankreport for the good ol’ Poop Machine, Le Blogeur for just being a cool blog on 10/31, and somewhere on The Daily Dewayne for stuff like that pirate name test and all that good stuff. Shucks, it’s good to be loved.

And… if you go to Google and search J’s Notes, here’s what you get! Yahoo’s pretty much the same.

Streisand’s Christmas offering Holiday album takes on unexpected poignancy Streisand is no psychic, but she long sensed a coming catastrophe, and that apprehension may have cultivated the album’s spiritual tone and quest for harmony.

R&B trio Destiny’s Child taking a break“You know how the Beatles broke off — they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger,” she said in a mistaken reference to the Fab Four’s split. Three of the Beatles reunited in the studio years after John Lennon’s death to record two songs from demo tapes he had made, blending their own voices with his. Uh, yeah, exactly…..

I could give a rat’s ass but one of you all out there probably think she’s hot, so, here’s a little info on Britney stripping for PETA. Should have a poster out by Christmas. Ugh.

Stuff from JSKOnline that I thought I’d share until that site’s up. PICTURES!!! Yeah, gaze at my beauty!

Oh so serious - A more serious Jason. (12.08.01)

Me Without Glasses - I normally wear glasses, but for this fine ass pic I removed them. (12.10.01)

Blue Steel - Watch out, ladies. A Zoolander impersonation. (12.10.01) - speaking of which, check out a bunch of impersonations here.

And now I’ve been told.. that I look surprizingly normal for a computer geek. Heh, guess that’s a compliment. (updated 12/12/01)

Speaking of JSKOnline… it’s actually coming along pretty nicely. It may not be 100% complete, but a version will be up come Jan 2002. Yea!!! Just need to find a host with no ads… (though, naughty little me has found a neat script to stop out pop up ads at tripod…)

And on the writing front I finished a prop last week for a series at Marvel: Dark Design and spoke with co-writer Alex Cook about the whole damn thing. He’s working on a final and soon we will unleash another kick ass story on the masses.

But don’t ask me about my current commitments because I’ll kick your teeth in to cover up my lazyness.

And a quickie… Wives strip naked to protect criminal husbands Illegal loggers are apparently evading arrest by getting their wives to strip naked and distract officials while they make a quick getaway with the valuable hardwood. Now, an interesting thing about this link. I live in Fredericksburg, but I went to Fark.com and found the link there. Small world.

What a weekend. Once again I got absolutely nothing done (though I did buy presents for….three folks I think). Why is it that I’m having no time to do anything these days? And it’s not like I’m busy, really. I just can’t find the time. Oh well. I’ll try and get a ton of links later in the week, but who knows. Am I bummed at the moment? I guess I am, no idea why, I get like this when I feel like I don’t have complete control of the situation, and my lack of time to do anything meaningful is a lack of control in my book. Can I do anything about it? Not that I know of or I’d have done it by now.

Sigh.

Oh well.

Oh, one highlight. I spoke with Sarah from In Spite of Years of Silence on AIM. She hunted me down cause I linked to her site. It was neat to talk to someone new and what not. She was nice and it’s a great site, you all have to check it out.

Also, I’m looking for that old link I had to Schrodenger’s Cat (sp?) where these guys were doing the actual experiement. Anyone remember exactly when I linked to that or what the link was? I’m lazy and, as I kinda said above, don’t have the time to go looking. Okay, it’s more lazy here, but, hey, help a brotha out!

Also… while I may not update as often as I used to, there’s still plenty of stuff here. Check the archives or the many links in the lower left. All sorts of stuff all over.

Today Thanks to “car problems” I was home today and spent it finishing up a prop for a fanfic project I’m going to be doing with Alex Cook at Marvel: Dark Design. It’s going to rule, I can promise you that. JSKOnline is also coming along. I have a redirect url for it. http://jskonline.cjb.net Right now it sends you here, but come the new year, it’ll send you to my ego site. Yea!!!!

That’s “It”? It’s a freakin electric scooter! They think this is going to revolutionize things? Hell, if people really cared about this crap they’d be using the electric scooters that are available out there or maybe even get a damn bike! Okay, okay, I’m saying this not really knowing EVERYTHING about this, but, still, I don’t see a revolution. It’s going to cost the public a couple grand a pop and most folks need cars to get out of town, so they’re just going to use their cars is what I think. I mean, I’ll admit, I was excited at first, but that’s cause folks said the engine was something spectacular and I thought “wow!” but, alas….

I’ll look into it more, I’m not completely disappointed yet, but I’m not amazed.

Here’s what the damn thing looks like.
