Crap on crap. I didn’t update during the whole crucial Christmas period. How embarassingly un-geeky.

Was an okay year, as Christmases go. We celebrated the birth of Santa Clause in typically bizarre Tran-family fashion. My family exchanged presents like money wrapped in XXL Hanes underwear or money wrapped around a can of Pepsi inside a plastic box. You get the idea. Wouldn’t have it any other way!

I was broke, and needed to get something for all three of my sisters, so I opted for the low-cost-but-lots-of-work alternative. What I basically did was set up pro-ish online journals with photo galleries for all of them (well, I haven’t finished Kathy’s yet, but soon, soon!). I bought the domain transverse.org and set up everything under the current wonderful free three years of webhosting I have from 1and1.com.

Let this paragraph be dedicated to how incredibly clever I was to pick out transverse.org. Trans’ Verse, get it? Verse of the Trans! And transverse means something cool as well. Oh Charlie, you’re so clever. So so clever. You’re pretty sexy too. People like you.

Er, anyway. My Christmas take wasn’t bad, either. Journals and clothes and money, the like. Oh! Almost forgot, I finally updated the code of my gallery to the latest version, and actually added some pictures. I think it’s been… what, nine months since the last one? Yepppp… what I added was some pics from Annie’s Berkeley graduation earlier this month.

Wow. It’s definitely 5:30 a.m. right now. I’ve been up all night doing random tuning for my sisters’ sites and my own. Ugh. Sleep.
