Not quite yet, my fiance and I have not purchased presents for one another. We do this every January because it’s such a hassle to find gifts for one another when we are shopping for everyone else.
I’m getting a Jura coffee maker this year. Hooray!
I propose the readers of this blog declare a holiday of anti-holidays, whereby we bring virtual foods made of bacon and sing carols that are actually cover songs of our favorite bands. Now for tradition…who wants to call me fat this year?

Considering the vast amount of Valentine’s Day crap in all the stores (and how quickly each holiday blends into the next shopping/crap-fest), my answer is NEVER. Sorry.
Yes, my holiday is over… In terms of x-mas they are anyways. As of today I am back in residence and unpacked, and the feeling that surrounds it is uncomfortable.
Back home I was surrounded by friends and family all the time, now I’m back in my dorm room by myself and I don’t like it. I guess when you get into it I’m lonely.

Yeah, I’m back at the office. Those were some seriously nice, hot, lazy (southern hemisphere xmas) long days.
About 9pm last night I was beginning to feel the return of my intelligence…then I returned to the pit this morning.
Sigh.
