      <![CDATA[<p>well, my blog has pretty much been 100% content free for a while. here are a collection of random thoughts...</p>

<p>just saw chungking express. fabulous movie. think i'll watch it again...now. faye wong is almost unbearable cute - gives a great/charming performance - a few parts of the film i'm afraid i'm a little puzzled about -  it bears repeating. all told an excellent movie - best i've seen in a while...</p>

<p>have gone cross country skiing last two days...well cross park skiing. finally getting a chance to try out my skis. fun, but *very* demanding. parts of me hurt that i didn't know i had</p>

<p>listening to wilco. seems like many bands i start out lukewarm towards i end up liking.</p>

<p>2 more days left in the semester. yesterday and today are kind of pre-winter break. there really is no school work to do - as i graded mondays finals. there are three finals on th/fri which i will then have to hustle to grade after loafing for the past few days.</p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="http://mikezellers.com/photoblog/000644.html">still</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://mikezellers.com/photoblog/000643.html">taking</a>   <a target="_blank" href="http://mikezellers.com/photoblog/000642.html">pictures</a> </p>

<p>comment spam is p*ssing me off. makes me want to drop comments or blogging - or perhaps switch to blogger...</p>

<p>as usual reading a couple books at the same time... i.must.focus.</p>

<p>not really int he christmas spirit. not in a bah humbug sort of way, but just because of the frentic activity that accompanies the end of the semester. i'm getting there...</p>

<p>i bought a copy of giant robot magazine (too lazy to link) it's prob. old hat - but it's cool...</p>

<p>current obsession: tiger woods 2005 for the xbox...</p>

<p>new button on my bag: talk nerdy to me</p>

<p>did i leave anything out?<br />
anyone have any suggestions for topics?</p>

<p>how are you folks?</p>]]>
