Generic Holiday Post

Hope everyone had a good Christmas with lots of presents and good food. I personally love getting things because I'm probably a bit too materialistic for my own good. Just a little bit.

We went to my Grandma's apartment for dinner and on the way I could smell the food from everyone else's homes. I was a bit jealous because I would have loved to have some ham or gravy.

Ham...

My favorite thing that I've gotten so far is a new headset from my siblings. It's a lot better than my own microphone which hurt my ears after about an hour. Unfortunately, my computer appears to have a loose speaker port or something because the sound quality has been dubious and yet the headset works perfectly fine on my brother's computer.

Other gifts included additions to my backlog of games, a horrible gag t-shirt that keeps getting passed between families as a joke, and a companion cube which will never threaten to stab me.

I will!

I'm also giving myself a gift, I'm finally upgrading my desktop computer. My buddy Jean is going to head out with me sometime before the Christmas break ends. It's kind of sad actually, I went and took a look and why all the memory on my computer was being eaten up and...

It's because 80% of it is dedicated to computer games. Yeah. Computer games. I might be an addict but don't let my Mother know she was right.

 Me.

I know a lot of you are back to work already, I'll be back in classes soon enough. But I'll save that droll discussion for another post. Maybe after new years.

I want to forget all of that and enjoy the rest of my break.

Merry Whatever you Believe in

So because the world hasn't ended I guess that means we are going to have Christmas and New Years celebrations after all. Which is good, few things make me happier than watching crazy people flail and scream before realizing that they look like idiots.

Now all we have to do is wait until some new apocalyptic theory comes about to stir them up into a frenzy again.

Maybe this is what will happen to all of us.

In the meantime, enjoy the holidays before the next end of of the world craze. I'm just happy to be able to sleep in, buy things at greatly discounted prices, and be unproductive in front of a computer all day long. It's a good feeling.

What's not a good feeling is trying to buy Theresa something and have her turn it down. She's been needing a new computer for a while so I contacted a friend who was selling his old gaming computer. Would have worked prefectly.

If she had room for it.

Except it didn't fit.

She claims she's going to get a new laptop soon around the Boxing day sale and if she doesn't, I'll just run out and get her a new one. Seriously, her current laptop is over 4 years old and its age is really showing. The cooling pad I got her can only do so much.

The rest of my family has their gifts ready. Unfortunately, some are still on their way via mail. It's scary how you can order something at the beginning of December and still not have it by the end of the month. Maybe next year I'll start ordering more things online even earlier.

Or maybe they use pigeons to send stuff I don't know.

Anyways, enjoy your time off with your family and friends this holiday season. I know I am.
