Oh i will Stab you Season, right in the Reason
So here it is almost the end of December and I have not had an update in almost a month. After the long hiatus I took from publicly posting, I silently swore to myself that I would make more posts, that my journal wouldn't fall into internet obscurity. It seems that I lied to myself. Now normal people would probably not feel anything amiss about not posting in a journal, or keeping such a little promise to themselves, I do not agree. I always try to follow through on a promise, be it to a friend, enemy, animal or myself. So here I am a little down on myself and whining about not following though.
The holidays seem to always strike me into a sense of apathy. I could go into random tirades about the loss of family togetherness or anti-consumerism, but that is trite and old. We have all seen holidays turn into such things. For me this melancholy usually starts mid-august and ends right around the first of the year. Apparently one could attribute a fall/winter melancholy to something aptly named Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I am not a big believer in this. For me this time of year usually means deaths in the family, or horrible occurrences. Perhaps that qualifies, who knows. At any rate I am kicking things into a different gear and going to get some stuff done. End of the whining, I promise.
I have discovered in the last couple of months I enjoy projects with LEDs. They are far cheaper than I expected and friggin easy to rig. For instance, Lego hacks . Hilarious and nifty. That's right I used the word nifty. I have things in mind for my own landscape.
The Schlafly beer I am currently drinking is going to combat Alzheimer's and perhaps even aid in cognition. Oh science such sweet things you whisper to me.
So overall the last month was interesting. AS for xmas, the nephews and niece made out like bandits. My house has legos and transformers strewn about, with one very disturbing oversized Pony singing songs to me. I just know I am going to wake up with it on my chest trying to command me to burn something down.
