Hello everyone.

I hope y'all had a great holiday season.

Just got back from Maine today ...

I was really worried at about 4:00 pm today when I was still in S. Me but I got to NYC at around 10:30 nonetheless.

Of course when I was parking the car later a little worried when had a almost 2 car size parking space ... For you non new yorkers ... the parking police here are insane and if something looks to good to be true you are almost always worried that it is.

If you all are curious here is some Holiday Haul..... Family Guy Season 3(need seasons 1 and 2), Taxi Driver, a book on the where the Beats hung out in NYC, my gf got me Simpsons Season 3, and Futurama Season2 (gf brother got me $50 gc at Best Buy .. would have bought stuff on Friday but line was insanely long (about 35 mins) ...

Had a good day today ... was actually not tired on the Merritt Parkway which was bonus ... Also stopped by NH Liquor Store(low low state taxes make money by sales of potables not Taxes) got some good harsh Aalborg Akvavit, Myers Rum, Brandy, Port, some wine and such ...

For you kitty fans Hunter "Socks" Thompson website should be updated soon
[URL=http://www.huntersocksthompson.com]Hunter "Socks" Thompson[/URL] my girlfriends types those though so I can't guarantee a time.

So I hope you all had a great holiday and have a most happy new year, be safe, be happy and meet new crazy people, there is certainly not a shortage ... ecq

Hello everyone.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Its me reporting from Westbrook, Maine home of my girlfriend's family.

Hunter has done well since his neteuring but trusts me just that little bit less.

Lord of The Rings is wicked awesome but I hesistate to see to much so as not to spoil the appetite of late arrivals to the movie ... So I will just say ***** SEE IT!!! ... although I would say the last half-hour epilogue ran very long and prob. could have waited until the extended edition.

I also saw Big Fish and that was very good ... **** ... Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor are both absolutely excellent in one of Burton's best films in quite some time.

As far as other films with critical Buzz .. I have not seen Mystic River or Cold Mountain, but I am sure I will still prefer the Lord of the Rings 3 come Oscar season.

I have seen "Lost in Translation" and although many critics love it and it is a beautiful, haunting view of Tokyo at night and sleeplessness, I must say the movie is SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW ... one of the slowest I have seen in a while ... considering it was a 20 watch time looking at film I would have to give it only **1/2 stars.

Have a great new year and happy blogging ... ecq

My kitty had to go and get neutered/spayed today ... he is at the Vet as I speak ... I must say it was definitely hard to not feed or give him water for 12 hours before....

He was so sweet on the bus going uptown and so calm at the vet. ... I am proud of my little kitty hunter "socks" thompson ... He is currently away from the computer but should update his website soon of http:\\huntersocksthompson.com ....

I am seeing Lord of the Rings: Return of the King in less then 4 hours and should give an update soon .... I have heard only great things so far ....

I wish you all a merry christmas/happy holidays and a most wonderful new year...

I must say with NYC's weather this last month I have no idea where the weather might go.

I think life is pretty good right now ... hopefully for the new year .. i will be in the black not the red and start paying down the mountain of debt ....

Welcome to the wonderous american economy of 2003 ... what a great president we have to blame the rest of the world on the problems in America ...

I wish we had a good pot-smoking, man-slut like Billy Jeff Clinton back in office ... I suppose it is cool that he works only about 25 blocks south of me near 125 in Harlem USA though.....

As far as our presidente goes though, don't think things are over in the election just because we got the head of Sadaam ....

Anyone who really believes that we stop terrorism by attacking a country is insane. Obviously its a lot easier to hit a target 3 miles away then 6,000 .... But what will you do in Ashcroft's America...

Sorry for the rant ... ecq

Sorry for the long delay.

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and a sane pre-Christmas.

I had my performance for my level 1 shows for the Upright Citizens Brigade improv class .... It went well but was a very quick 45 minutes that went by.

Although I was very pumped for the performance, the suggestion was toothpaste and since I saw no one going up for the monologue I went up myself ... I started with an inane it sucks to not have toothpaste when you travel and then I mentioned Colgate's wonderful I-AA football performance of something like 15 wins in a row...

I also had an awkward 3 person scene where I was not sure where I would go .... Then I was the gamemaster in a Parker Brothers Skit .....

But improv is definitely a good way to think on your feet.

So have a great holiday and keep in touch....

Fav Websites include....

http://www.espn.com ... ESPN

Hunter Socks Thompson (our cat) ...

Who is a very chatty kitty and has a blog even more interesting then this....

Also the Star-Ledger (Newark,NJ) coverage of Rutgers Sports.
My alma mater also has the official Rutgers sports site for the Scarlet Knights.

Although I don't look at it enough the ex-pats(people from other countries in Russia in this case) view of the world from Moscow .. the Moscow News

Anyway good to say hi to y'all and if you know of any job openings let me know ... being an eccentric dreamer does not pay enough....

Cheers ... ecq (Edmund Charles Davis-Quinn)

I am watching Smoke Signals.

Its is an excellent movie .... believe in "frybread power" and if you ever get the chance to eat good Indian frybread take it immediately.

Saw 3 Harold shows today at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre they were all pretty solid.

More interesting my girlfriend is having her level 2 show there this Sunday at 4 pm.

Nice warm day in NYC today ... I recommend seeing "Elf" and think Matrix Revolutions is terrible ... saw it in IMAX and it didn't help one bit.

B good y'all

Lanna likes weekends ... but they just don't last long enough ....

Rutgers shoulda, coulda won today but had one very bad 4th quarter ... Beating boston college would have been one of the best wins for RU football in many years ... Good websites for RU: include the star-ledger Rutgers site and Rutgers official site

Hopefully at least the women's basketball season will be good .... Be good y'all .... edmund
