Xmas Aftermath!
Dec. 26th, 2009 06:26 amWell, I went to Christmas at the folks yesterday. The drive out was fine, at least after I got off the local roads and onto the main thoroughfares. Because of the brilliant planning of the city and state about NOT declaring a snow emergency, nothing locally has been sufficiently cleared. Some of the alleys have gotten a pass through and that's about it.
I couldn't sleep previous, so I ended up going out and clearing the front walk early, then headed over to their place. We chatted then opened gifts- I got a bunch of DVDs from my brother and nieces, a new camera (Canon 1100S) from the folks, and some clothes. I also got more shotglasses and a little cash. The money will go for the new video card for the desktop. Woot. :)
I think the things I got them in return went over well, and I managed to get Sam, my 18 year old niece to actually laugh til her face went red. Not an easy trick! After dinner we watched Inglorious Basterds the movie I got my brother. I think I wanna get it- But it looks WEIRD in HD. Like its a television show. The picture is TOO sharp, and looks unreal, like its on set rather than 'reality'.
I got home around 8 or so, then passed out in the chair as the fatigue finally caught up. Something else did too- indigestion. I'm fairly sure its what mom and dad use to season the steaks, but whatever it is it just tears me up. :P
Right now I'm just kinda sitting around. I'll probably crash soonish. I may download Champions Online today sometime and try it out, too.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and whatever to all.
