and now, without further ado, i present to you the triumphant return of: Ye olde x-mas list of death.

1. my mom is diagnosed with diabetes.
2. my dad is told he probably had a heart attack recently.
3. a coworker collapses and spends a week in the hospital
4. a friend has a problem i can't discuss publicly, but fits nicely on the death list.
5. battlestar galactica season 3 is released in england but not here until april.
6. a friend gets screwed in a custody hearing.
7. another friend hospitalized for internal bleeding after a botched surgery on an ectopic pregnancy.
..much more to come.
