Chappy Channukah (sp?)
Posted: December 8th, 2004 | Author: themarkpike | Filed under: Stuff |Apologies to the devoted readers of this blog for my sporadic posting throughout the past several weeks. It’s tough to get into a regular writing routine when you don’t even know who’s couch you’re crashing on for the night.

Dope Duds:
I have to have these.

Oh yeah, and the Team Zissou Outfit
Intangibles:
In the spirit of the holiday season, the one thing I think we all really want is World Peace.
So here’s a picture of the peace symbol:

In all seriousness, I hate holiday marketed materialism as much as the next guy (assuming the next guy’s name is not Sam Walton).
It’s great to be home. (hi mom!)
