Holiday Aftermath

If you've read the comments I've left on most of your blogs you probably know by now that my Christmas weekend was pretty uneventful. No really, all I did was spend a few quiet days with family and many hours with my computer.

Come towards the light Damian...

Theresa was busy all weekend so I wasn't able to see her. Luckily I anticipated this and gave her her gifts early which included a hoodie, some TF2 cellphone charms, various games from the Steam Holiday sale and the third volume of popular webcomic.

Myself? I don't expect to receive anything big. Friends got me a lot of games and a foam Minecraft pickaxe, I don't expect anything from my siblings until February (April if I'm unlucky), parents gave me cash and I treated myself to more games.

Thank you Dear for this one.

So, what am I going to do for the rest of the break? Hopefully see as many old friends as possible and take Theresa out on as many dates as I possibly can. Let's hope her boss doesn't keep scheduling her to work for ENTIRE WEEKS. Seriously, she's busy all the time during the school year, give her a break when she has a break.

In the meantime I have more research stuff to do. That paper isn't going to edit itself and neither is that experiment. Gah, I'm so sick of technical errors at this point. Hopefully I'll get things figured out before the term starts again.

Really want to do this to some of the computers at the lab.

I know the rest of you had a relatively more exciting Christmas holiday than me. If all goes well maybe I can get to work on some other things this break and not be a complete waste of waste. There are some recipes I need to try as well as a DIY project I've been eying.

But the computer games, they beckon.

Probably what I'll end up doing.

    Never neglect your games. They will always be beside you when others have forsaken you.

    Exciting? Man, I haven't had an exciting Christmas since I was 8. A happy one though, yes. That's what matters now. That and making kids have the best Christmas ever.

    I know what you mean on the diy that you mean to finish. I have most if not all of the parts for a micro cnc sitting in my house I just need to convince myself to sit down and work on it. MW3 is really killing my productivity though.

    Nope. Don't feel badly. My holiday was equally uneventful. The highlight of my Christmas Day was talking a very loooong walk in the woods with my puppy. (After all, I had to find SOME way to burn off all that eggnog!)

    This christmas was my lamest ever... No snow, no christmas feeling, no nothing. And as a bonus today I already worked (and tomorrow too). :/

    There's nothing wrong in spending your holiday times doing this as long as you had fun buddy, it's good you had an uneventful one, a lack of events is a lack of trouble after all right haha?

    Nothing wrong with playing some games :) sadly I didn't get to see my GF over Christmas either and because the coach station was shut today I have to wait until tomorrow to see her -_- but it did give me time to watch Frasier and play some Baldurs Gate :D

    I hate it when good games suddenly pops out when there a deadline coming soon. Instead of working on my projects, I end up playing for hours instead and then do a last minute all-nighter to rush through it.

    This post made me laugh.. My sister and I both confessed we hadn't mailed out our gifts to each other yet.. And both joked that we might as well wait until February since we both have birthdays that month! Anyway, enjoy the break! I'm loving not having homework!

    It's impossible to resist the urge of the computer games. My trick is, as soon as a loading screen comes up, I have to do at least one chore / task. Once it's complete, I can go back to the game until the next loading screen.

    For once I haven't been bored over Christmas, I have been so busy I have massively neglected anything useful and my blog. Back on it soon definitely... Love that final picture. Hyperbole and a Half is a genius blog, cannot wait for her to finish the book.

    Probably a good thing I never got into video/computer games, or my insomnia would be like 10 times worse.... Bad enough I stay up until 4AM reading and watching Squidbillies. o.O

    Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. I'll take a quiet Christmas over the one I had any day!

    I think the last time I was excited about Christmas I was opening my Nintendo Entertainment System from "santa". Yeah, the original NES. Since then, well, I wake up at 11, make some coffee, and plop down in front of the XBox. Which isn't very exciting, but works just fine for me.

    Sorry to hear that it was uneventful. And sorry that you still have to work on that damn paper and research.

    I've been loving the steam sale myself, just picked up Killing Floor with my friends, which is actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I love co-op games.

    I received a laptop computer for Christmas, so needless to say I have been reclusive.

    Do a minimum of one thing the world considers productive so that you can feel proud of yourself for the effort, then return to the games. Have fun on your break!
