A Day Off..
If you know me well you know that I've always got lots of ideas going through my head for sites, and business concepts and never get any time to work on my better ideas.
Today I decided I'd take the day off. Yesterday we opened all our gifts etc and so today was pretty relaxing :)
Oh.. I got the fridge I've been asking for! Its a beautiful stainless steel 'bar' fridge thats bigger than the normal small ones (4.5 cubic ft). Its great and as soon as the shops open I'm going to stock it up.
Anyhow I got some work done today on one of my fun project sites.

Merry Christmas!
I do this every year. and have been for years now...
Have a wonderful and very merry Christmas!
For many years I have had a mailing list Joke A Whenever. Every Christmas I would send out the same 'jokeless' mailing to everyone. Every time I got flooded with many thanks and a few bitter remarks.
In memory of JokeAWhenever and the days when email could be sent without being flagged as spam by stupid AOL users I've included the mailing in the "Read More" section...

The game "Things"
I've always wanted, and for a while thought that I owned the game "Things".
So.. the other night when I was doing some Christmas shopping I found it and couldn't resist buying it.
Last night we had a mini post-exam get together to just chillax and hang out without any school stuff to complicate anything.
It has some good ones in it, and with most groups of people can get very 'interesting' shall we say in short order.
You all write down an answer to complete the scentance and everyone has to try and figure out who wrote what.
Examples:
Things you wouldn't do at a funeral...
Things that go bump in the night...
Things kids know more about than adults...
Things you wouldn't want to find in your bed...
Things cannibals think while eating dinner...

What do you do when Honda just won't listen to you?
You start a
honda sucks website and sell your car on ebay with a buy it now price over a cool million.
Gotta give it to your Canuck - this is original. Hopefully some collector out there will take up this chance of a lifetime to buy a piece of insight/electric car history!

Car Accident
Updated - see below
The facts are still up in the air (I'm waiting for a call back) but apparently Veronica has been in a car accident (more than minor).
Her, Brad and Sarah were in a car accident yesterday. Rumour has it that it was some kind of headon collision with a logging truck.
Veronica and Sarah apparently have broken/cracked ribs and Brad is currently in hospital with internal bleeding.
So if you can say a prayer for them, that would be great.

Wired
Literally...
If you recall my blog a
little while ago about my medical tests and heart stuff...
Well today is the last test i've got to do. Its something called a halter monitor. Basically a portable ECG machine I have to wear for 24 hours. Watches for abnormailites etc. I'm starting to wonder if everything was caused by exam stress that I wasn't aware of or something like that.
