THERE AND BACK AGAIN
No, I haven't seen Return of the King yet. I'm going Monday morning. But the original title for the post was just "Back Again".

I'm back. (And front and sideways. And a top and a bottom.) Enjoyed (mostly) a few days off.

Christmas Eve was spent with my family. Had a really nice time. From my nephews, I got pictures of them. From my sister and bro-in-law, got The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded, plus a bunch of candy and popcorn. My other sister provided gift certificates so that Aerri and I could go out to dinner and a movie. Dad got me this really nice sweater. And the major surprise was the other gift from Dad. For me and my sisters, he created a print from the company he works at Letterworks Art. It's a print that says "Mom" with pictures of her in the letters. I'll post a image of it, when I can. It looks REALLY nice. I've just got to figure out a place to hang it.

Christmas Day, I was supposed to head over to Aerri's parents' place and spend the day with them, but last weekend, my girlfriend gave me an early Christmas present of the cold she had, which finally delivered itself to me late Christmas Eve night. So I ended up staying home sick on Christmas Day.

Day after Christmas I was feeling better, so my other half came over. Brought presents, chicken soup, and other assorted illness cures. Her parents got me a personal CD player, and her sister got me a small assortment of aftershaves and body sprays. Good smelling stinky stuff. And I finally got to see my doublet! Very VERY nifty!! Very nicely done. As soon as I have a picture, I'll post it.

Saturday, we went and played a MechWarrior game with her cousin. Lots of fun, and got a bunch of free figures. Free figures are always good. Then we headed out to a flea market and wandered around there for a little while. Then dinner with her parents.

And today I'm back at work. Yay. On the plus side, it's a short week, and I'm heading down to Columbus for New Years.

I hope everybody else also had a good week/weekend.

And on a completely different note, I've updated R.U.M., so go forth and check it out. You REALLY want to go do that. Trust me. <---------------- Link over thataway.

ODD RANDOM THOUGHT
If an actor breaks their tailbone while filming a movie, could the director then say they literally busted their ass to get the movie done?

RANDOM HOLIDAY THOUGHT
Was the little drummer boy out and about because his mother was sick of him practicing his ba-rump-a-bump-bump in the house all day?

MINOR ANNOYANCES
I've had a Waldenbooks Preferred Reader card for a number of years now. I first got it sometime back in high school as a birthday present, and it's been renewed for me every year since. I love this card. 10% off pretty much anything in the store, plus for every 100 points, you get a free $5 gift certificate ($1=1 point). Needless to say, (though I'm saying it anyways) I've saved quite a bit and gotten quite a few free gift certificates over the years.

I had a coupon for 15% off one item, and since I was getting a couple of books for the nubbins for their birthday and christmas, I decided to get something for me as well. (Very well, if you must know: The Cheerios Counting Book and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See board book for the boys, and Star Trek: New Frontier: No Limits for me.) Came to somewhere around $30. I could have picked these up in the next day or two, but today was the most convient day for me to get them.

So when I open up my email a little while ago, what do I see? An email from Waldenbooks, with a link to a coupon:
Preferred Reader
DOUBLE POINTS
On Your Entire Purchase with This Coupon
DECEMBER 12-18 ONLY!

Couldn't they have sent this out a day or two ago??? I could have waited and gotten my stuff. If I had, I would have gotten double points. These people had to wait until the day before the coupon is good, on the day I go shopping, before sending me the coupon.

So if you're planning on stopping by the bookstore in the next week, let me know. I'll send you a copy of the email with the coupon, and you can pretend to be a sibling of mine, and I'll get more points, and you'll get 10% off.
And, as an added bonus, if you spend enough (with the coupon) that it gets me a $5 gift certificate, I'll share it with you.

MERCY!
Just saw this over on Yahoo News.

At least it might give out of work Elvis impersonators something to do.

REPEAT REQUEST
Still looking for those trained monkeys.

They've got to be available somewhere.



 
THEY FIGURED IT OUT
Happened to see this. It's a breakdown on what it would cost if you were to actually buy all the gifts from the song The Twelve Days of Christmas.

Kind of interesting.

No dear, don't even think about asking, you're not getting anything from here.

WOW
Happy Blogiversary to me!

Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary to me!

I've been doing this for 2 years now. Kinda hard to believe.

Been through a bunch of changes here on the blog, and also had a lot of things happen IRL.

Kinda wonder what the next 2 years will bring.

OOOOOOHHH, WHAT THE HELL...
Just 'cause we've got somebody else to finally join in on this.....

MINE!

We'll see how many we can get up to this time. Last time we got to 104 total comments, with 12 of the "non-mine" type. I increased the number of posts that show up, so this will stay on the page longer, since I'm updating a little more frequently.

ODD RANDOM THOUGHT
With as windy as it's been in Cleveland for the past day or so, is it making a mime's job easier?



 
I LOVE PRICE WARS!
BP gas station by my house: $1.4something last weekend.
$1.32 this past Wednesday.
$1.27 on Friday.
$1.25 on Saturday.

I hope it stays like this for a while.
(Probably won't, but I can hope.)
