You know what sucks? Thinking you were going to get a bonus, and then in an unprecedented event, your company did not hand out bonuses that year ( Read more... )

I got the basement cleaned and dusted and Holiday Cheer abounds down there. No tree, yet. I think I might want to look for a potted one that I can bring in and out each year...and when it gets too big to bring indoors, we can plant it in the backyard as part of a privacy fence ( Read more... )

I had a horrible dream last night…I think it could have been a cool dream had I realized it was a dream while I was having it. Some of it is awesome, but the awfulness so outweighs all of the pulp-action/spy-caper aspects of it.

I was lucky enough to stop myself from falling flat on my face and then tossed the toy into the yard where it would be out of my way. At the gate, I tripped over ( Read more... )

So, Izzy and I decided to finally finish up Gauntlet Legends: Dark Legacy.  We've been playing it for the past couple of nights and have been having a lot of fun with the game.  The amazing part was that I found our old game saves so we could pick up where we left off, back in 2004.  Weird and amazing.
