I'm technically halfway through installing a new ceiling fan in my bedroom. This likely would have been easier if I'd just bought a light kit and attached it to the ceiling fan that was in there, but the fan that was in there was one of those completely generic white ceiling fans likely picked up on sale.

The work holiday party was last night. The first part of it was pretty dull... the usual dinner and dancing; drinks were being poured. It was a cash bar, but a very cheap cash bar.
