If I get one more drunken mofo messing with me, then he's gonna wear his ass as a hat. I came *this* close to snapping and beating the living crap out of one random drunken mofo. My boss prolly wouldn't have gave a damn. Quote those famous lyrics -- Next [censored]'s gonna get my metal!

 

My Brother and his gf are coming tomorrow, so that's where we probably do our main gift exchange. Beyond that, the 25th might be quiet (unless I decide to watch the Comedy Network's celebrity roast marathon and they really are that good). The only downside of the holiday season this year is that the one Hockey tournament will likely have the Canadian games on opposite NHL games. Too bad, I like watching Hockey all day after my Boxing day shopping (but I won't be doing that this year either).

 

Not looking forward to spending the night in a B&B on Christmas night The B&B people have a dog as well, my mother is a canophobe. The person arranging this claims hautily to have informed us of this - which she didn't.

 

My sister's former-marine boyfriend is teaching me how to fight (defensively, I don't want to hurt people, only stop them from hurting me), which rocks hard. It is actually pretty simple, I just have to build up some muscle and learn how to react quickly(er).

 

Ugh...MassEffect is ruining my chance of getting a good grade in both my classes this quarter. No one told me it was so addicting.

Things are only going to get worse however, since I'm going to be getting several more PC games for Xmas.

 

Think how I feel, I'm expected to keep up with all the news in the gaming world, play the latest games in a variety of genres, learn about older games, do all my coursework and keep up with my studies

 

This freaking week's done. Not a minute too soon either.

On a different note... what?

 

Ok this is weird, I just woke up and there's nobody home, both my parents are just gone, the car isn't in the driveway, no notes, no nothing. It's kinda like Home Alone 'cept I'm 20 not 8, and I doubt Joe Pesci will come to rob the place

 

O rly?

I woke up when my mother said goodbye and promptly fell asleep again. She didn't even notice I tidied my room during the night! Bah!

 

Hurray, typing again!
I've been stuck in traffic for several hours today and nearly late for a bromatology test (which went rather good, hopefully )

The holidays are just a few days, one more test and a huge traffic jam away.


Also, I've just realised how happy it makes me to log to BoM and flick the threads. Here's to all of you, SPers.

*raises a mug of hot chocolate*

 

Well, after bitter (for here) cold on Monday it's up to 60F, almost 16C here today. However it is very, very windy, as a front passes through. Had the car door jerked out of my hand when I parked at work this morning - fortunately not next to anything I could hit with it.

But now I am home after my half day work and seriously contemplating a nap before going to church tonight.

Merry Christmas to all my SP friends!

 

My Godparents are coming here tomorrow, which is a good thing. If we were to go there instead, I'd be stuck in conversations that pretty much only interest them. Now if it gets too far away from anything that I have something remotely relevant to say I can just... do other stuff. Yeah!

There's just so much of "Cars, snow, renovation, government jobs, etc." I can endure before going insane with boredom. Not that I don't like them, just that topics that interest 50 years old just aren't the same as those I'd consider interesting.

Some good news alright.

PS; Now that is strange, I just saw an add in French which concerns Québec, in this forum. Whaaaaaat? How? Why? I thought that only myself and DotW came from this 'lil place.

 

Well it just hit 00:00 in the UK, so...

Merry Christmas, SP!

 

Still got 3.5 hours till Xmas here.

In other news, the wife and I opened one present today...apparently it's some tradition of her family. As I expected, I got one of the many PC games I asked for. This one is Battlefield 2142. I'm hoping to get the entire set of the original Battlefield 1942 games...yeah yeah, I know they're old, but they were fun when I played them at a LAN party a looooooong time ago.

 

29 minutes and counting until Chirstmas here. Merry Christmas to all.

Meanwhile we had our little gathering today. It sucked that My brother and his gf had to leave so early. I suggested we shoot for boxing day next year. Then on the 25th I go to my Brother's place, hit the Boxing day sales, and then have Mom come get all three of us and nobody has to leave early that way...

 

The good ol' boards look damn good on a 21.6in LCD. I'm still speechless that this was a present for me.

 

@ DoTW - I guess that Christmas isn't All bad then is it hon?

ION I roasted a turkey today that my mother told me was the best turkey she has ever had. Quite a compliment considering that it is only the second turkey I have ever roasted and my mom wouldn't have said that if she didn't mean it. Hopefully I can do as well the next time I have to cook one of those birds.

 

Merry Christmas everybody!

 

It's snowing at home! A slight problem is that I'm not at home, but at faculty, where it rains, but oh well. *shrugs*

Have fun.


EDIT: A downside of no windows near the computer: It's snowing outside too. It only took me four hours to figure that out...

 

Well...the wife and I started opening presents at around 2am... She got me every single one of the Battlefield games and Oblivion. She also got me a shirt and a jacket that I will actually wear, and a Nerf Sniper Rifle to hunt down our cats with when I feel like tormenting them.

The crappy thing is...we lost all power around 2:30...so we spent 30-45 minutes chasing the cats around with flashlights.
