are made of these

I had a dream last night that all the new iPods come with night vision googles for the same price of $399.99. I was going to buy one but Critical, who was with me, told me not to. He told me to wait and pick one up on the cheap on ebay.
That critical, always a penny-saver.

Salutations!  What a wonderful mini vacation.  Christmas was very very good this year.  Lots of good food, family and friends and of course really good presents!  A lot of people were complaining that I’m hard to shop for cause I’m not girly and I buy everything I want anyway.  Part of that is true; I’m not really girly.  Purses and makeup are not my fancy.  Unless of course the purse has Firewire 800 compability and the makeup is fiber obtic. And yes, I am a consumer whore but I don’t buy *everything* I want.  There really isn’t enough money for that.  In the future all those who struggled, remember I have a very simply mind.  Granted not as simple as others, candy bars really won’t make me happy but simple enough were kooky socks make me jump for joy.  Thanks for all the great gifts.  Now time for the awards.  Not all the presents I got get awards, simply because that would require a lot of typing and creativity.  I lack in both areas.  If your gift didn’t make the cut, blame it on my laziness cause I really liked them all.

hope for the holidays

To all that I know (and to those that I don’t)  I wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukah, a Happy Kwanza and a Happy Festivus!  I leave you with this comic from Todd & Penguin:

frazzled

I have been told by some that I have not been usual wacky self lately.  It’s true I’ve been a little worn thin, stressed out if you will.  Besides, its the holidays, by default that equals extra pressure.  Don’t worry, I’ll be back to normal soon.  It’s almost over.  Yes, almost over.
