Yeesh, no new blog posts since April? And I'm getting shown up by the Pants of all people? What is this world coming to?
It is high time to kick this collection of ramblings back into gear! It's not like I don't have things to go on and on about, like:
- books I've been reading and enjoying, like Silverwing and Little Brother
- games I've been playing the crud out of, like The World Ends With You
- early impressions of my early birthday gift to myself, a God of War PSP bundle
- reflections on the D&D 4E (Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition) and new campaign ideas
- thoughts about future plans, like more web developing at the library and other careers I'm thinking about
- how dog-sitting for two weeks can make anyone crazy (or crazier)
Just completed an awesome four day tour de force of Giftmas (the capitalist holiday formerly known as Christmas).
On the first day of Giftmas, my true dOrange group gave to me:
On the third day of Giftmas, my true family gave to me:
All in all, it was really rockin' Giftmas this year, not merely because of the super fine gifts, but mostly because of the fabulous times with friends and family. What an awesome end to an awesome year! Here's to hoping that 2007 will be even more crazy delicious!
On the first day of Giftmas, my true dOrange group gave to me:
- Poker and Popcorn Tin (courtesy of Ernie in our second annual white elephant gift exchange).
- Okami video game and an accompanying Play-friggin'-station 2 from the ever-awesome Anthony. Way to rock L's and my world, my friend.
- Your Whole Family Is Made Out Of Meat: The Best of Dinosaur Comics book. Claws-down, the most sexy, exciting gift I got a week early. ("I guess there is a lesson here for us all.")
- Trace Memory video game for the DS.
- Veronica Mars soundtrack.
- "Guns don't kill people. Magic Missiles kill people." t-shirt. My newest, coolest and geekiest apparel.
- I (Heart) Huckabees DVD. ("How am I not myself?")
- Green fleece jacket, which I look super great in.
- Official ACI purple fleece jacket (courtesy of Drew in our family white elephant gift exchange). Go Yotes!
- Tsuro board game (courtesy of my Dad and Femie in our family white elephant gift exchange). This was actually L's pick, but since we're married, we get to share!
- Cold, hard cash from my Dad and Femie. (They know just what to get newlyweds!) My parents are pretty darn awesome and I love them.
- Warm, black pajama pants. My legs shall be frozen no longer!
- Old Navy and EB Games gift cards (from L's mom); Fred Meyer gift card (from Andy); and Record Exchange gift card (from L's Drew). I smell a shopping trip coming on.
- Picnic basket.
-
Cryptonomicon book. Looks like a very meaty, man-sized read!
- Mickey and Minnie cheesy Christmas ornament for the newly married couple.
All in all, it was really rockin' Giftmas this year, not merely because of the super fine gifts, but mostly because of the fabulous times with friends and family. What an awesome end to an awesome year! Here's to hoping that 2007 will be even more crazy delicious!
Weeks since my last update, just what have I been doing lately??
- Didn't get a Wii, but I have started playing Oblivion on L's 360. Even if it's a bit campy at time, I'm lovin' the crunchiness of the system. (And Argonians are just sexy.)
-
Finished reading the third book in a kick-ass fantasy meets alternate history series, Temeraire. Definitely my favorite series of the year. Love dragons? Love historical fiction? Throw away Eragon and read this!
- Saw the rockin' production of The Adventures of Silence, starring the Pants, Ernie and my very own L. These gals were awesome! I'm never going to pick a fight with the Pants when she's donned chainmail nor Ernie when she's posing as an old male wizard.
- Work's been fabulous -- I'm still getting paid to play with LEGOs and to tweak Dragonfly (adalib.org 2.0). I'm damn lucky to have the job that I do.
- All the Christmas shopping's done (minus a couple minor things), courtesy of the Internet tubes. Who wants to fight the manic crowds worshiping at the Church of Capitalism (also known as the Mall) when it's so much easier online?
- Currently listening to Breaking Benjamin's latest CD (courtesy of our library's awesome Young Adult audio collection), Phobia. Wow. Just wow.
- Best of all, had some great conversations with friends, including hitting the Pita Pit with Colleenist, playing phone tag with BlueDelt, doing the girl talk with Ernie and the Pants, attending a book signing with my brother, chewing the dOrange old guard fat with Piscis and L, and IMing the Mattiepie. You guys and gals are too awesome for words -- thank you!
Alright, I promise to TRY not to slack off in my blogging, so you won't have to endure one of these lists again. But feel to free to kick me every so often if you fear one of these long list-type posts is building up.
I leave you with something truly random -- BACON ON A CAT!
