I haven't even started my Christmas shopping. Worse, I misplaced my check card and really can't be bothered to look for it. I need to get something good for the boy. He's getting me the Bose iPod speakers thingy and he thinks I don't know this. I shall of course act very surprised. The problem is that right around Christmas he buys himself everything he wants. So he got himself a digital camera, the giant Issay Miyaki cologne, really excellent speakers - which was pretty much my list of things I knew he wanted. Maybe a portable XM radio player - assuming I can get one before he buys it himself.
My dad's easy, I'm getting him flying lessons. Actually I'm horribly afraid of putting someone that absent minded in control of an airplane BUT he has this fantasy about buying a place in San Luis Obisbo (or there abouts) and flying down when he needs to for work. I'm a big believer in encouraging dreams even if they seem... unrealistic to me, so flying lessons it is. I mean the man's managed to drive in LA for 40 years without killing anyone, and there's less stuff to bump into in the sky. Right?
I have a new dog, Duke. I may post pictures. I've had him for over a week but I haven't wanted to talk about it. Duke isn't up for adoption because Duke has a terminal brain tumor. It's huge, malignant and right behind his eye. The first day I had him I picked him up from the vet he was in bad shape. But now, well, everyday he seems so much better. I changed his diet, we hike and I look at him and he doesn't seem ill. Except I know he is, but yeaghaaarrrggg.
Yeah, I'm cruising denial about this dog. I have him until he dies, which I was told might be a month. I don't believe it.
Gah. This is going to mess me up.
EDIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
