After the Wrapping Has Been Torn Away
Dec. 27th, 2005 11:59 pmChristmas was good. I spent time hanging out with Chris' family and watching stuff, watching movies, watching people play videogames, watching people play with Joey the dog, etc. We did manage to get out for pert of the day on Monday running out to buy comics, and to find all the discounted Eeyores that were available at the Disney Store. Chris' brother Andy collects them, and has several hundred Eeyore items in his home in Las Vegas. Andy wonders why he's single.
The haul was good, with some money from my parents, some gift cards from Chris' parents and Chris gave me a Chipotle gift card, Firefly and Serenity on DVD, and from the National Zoo, Butterstick - or more truly, as stick of butter with a panda face. I gave him three volumes of Looney Tunes (178 toons in all) and a new pitfall game.
Chris' parents I'll have to work on...once I have their address, I'll send them some gift basket or something. I keep forgetting to get the address from Chris. Chris' parents are pretty laid back, and less uptight than my folks. Heck, I asked Chris is we could listen to Derek and Romaine, the filth show on Sirius Out Q, with his parents in the car. He thought it was OK, and we clicked it on and heard Romaine exclaim, "Me and my girlfriend spent the night cloning our pussies!" So much for proving I'm the nice sweet guy dating their son, I guess.
I was very tired at work today, after the usual late night drive. It was a long day at work as the place was deserted, and there wasn't enough people to get through the large volume of work we had, so they actually called for pizza and we finally got out at 8, so there was 10 hours in the bank. Too bad it's a week with a holiday, so it won't garner any overtime - unless we go over by more than 8 hours this week. It's possible. I'll look forward to the new year.
As for Friday's Christmas song quiz, we had six winners -
chernocub,
anglicub,
robearal,
bigbearok,
invisiblebear and
emsbear. Still there were a few colorful guesses, including the very holiday spirited, "Is His Dick Bigger Than Mine?" Truly a Christmas classic.
