My back deck was mostly clear of snow. Now it’s got about eight inches, give or take.

Oh, and this storm is supposed to last into Saturday (with a small break tomorrow), giving yet another possible three foot total. That would be six feet of snow - AT MY HOUSE - in the course of a week and a half…

This is not normal.

Here’s hoping everyone had a happy and fruitful holiday. I certainly did.

Highlights:

My darling mother got me a solar powered atomic watch, so not only does it never need its battery changed, it never needs to be set either. This is timekeeping heaven for me. Now I just need to read the manual to figure out how to use its other functions. And of course, I need to get it sized waaay down for my girlish wrists.
The moms made out well: Mine got a cobalt blue Kitchen Aid mixer (she’d been eyeballing ours lately) and The Wife’s got an iPod Nano (which is ridiculously small).
I got The Wife a Bella Umbrella. Without her realizing it, I noticed that she’d been talking about getting a parasol for the past year or so, so this was a home run for me.
I also got my better half a Mac Mini, as her old iBook was having a hard time keeping up. That means I get to play with the iBook: So far I’ve reinstalled OS X 3 times and I plan to install Ubuntu as well (the third round with OS X was to get a partition for the linux).
As for me, I got some woodworking and home improvement accessories, some DVDs (namely two big time personal faves: Pete & Pete and The Greatest American Hero, and a CBC history of hockey that looks awesome) and lots of other stuff.

So yeah, materialistically, we all did pretty well. Better yet, though, we had some nice time off at home thanks to the blizzard, and yet we were mobile in time to make it down to my mom’s house on Christmas Eve.

God bless us, every one, eh?

The boys at our favorite tattoo shop finally have their new web site up: ThinkTankTattoo.com

Backstory: Their old obnoxious (it resized the browser window!) site just up and disappeared a long while back. Thne they had a place-holder up saying the new site would be up in November. The web guys obviously missed that goal…

I’m just excited because Fish’s glamor shot tickles me pink!

He’s Crafty!

This evening, I got the urge to try and make a wallet out of Gorilla Tape. I’d call the project a definite success (especially considering this was a first go at it), but the result won’t be replacing my usual wallet.
