~ our holidays were extended a few days past new year’s day; we spent the extra time on the new jersey turnpike, in corporate movie theaters, and watching paramedics haul away our neighbor’s body. it was not only for us that the first week of the new year was filled with excitement, if one can judge from the stains of vomit on the sidewalk and the four civilians killed by the nypd.

~ concerning our work-trip to clichy and neighboring paris: not surprisingly, we cooked up few physical artifacts to present as evidence for the formidable amount of work we accomplished. apart from two (2) pages of ‘notes’, compiled in the jardin du luxembourg, and a fifteen (15) entry ‘outline’, drafted in wayne county’s detroit metropolitan airport, there is little to differentiate this trip from that which many would call a ‘vacation’.

~ we suspect that the new image series, “g.i.joe frontline”, is either for children or is just childish.

~ the angry red planet is closing up for the rest of the year while the bosses are serving as self-appointed flaneurs throughout paris, france, and environs. we depart upon the completion of our final preparations.

~ …the angry red planet was hard at work bringing updates to the u.s.a. scene report [again].

~ while many offices in the city were shut down by the winter’s snowful
wrath, the angry red planet was hard at work bringing updates to the u.s.a. scene report.

~ also, it has come to our attention, repeatedly, that the ‘comments’ feature is quite lame. first, because no one uses it, and secondly, because it took us 10 minutes to figure out what rasterboy [w] was ‘working on’. we had wrongfully assumed that he meant that he was working on his ‘computers’ rastergallery.

~ now that we are on the subject, those of the horde who are interested in donating laptops (powerbooks, thinkpads, notebooks, etc.) to the angry red planet should note that the community would be greatly served if they were to arrive before december 13th, as we are closing the office for the holidays and departing for paris on the following day. contact us for the shipping information.

~ one would be justified in pointing our absence as sign of the lethargy which pervades our offices this time each year (in a fashion similar to late spring and summer). in our defense, we would enjoy to indicate how the energies of our offices have been depleted by the work being cooked up over at sisyphean.com [w].

~ “Nigerian leader blames media for Miss World riots” (CNN)

the angry red planet blames the people who, with the complete mental faculties of adult humans, made the individual decisions to walk out of their homes and bludgeon people to death for the miss world riots.

~ the hordes of readers who writhe in frustration at every visit to this log should be informed of the ease of increasing the frequency with which the log is updated were they to donate a laptop to the angry red planet.
