It’s Christmas Eve…

So, it’s Christmas Eve. It’s also been a while since I wrote anything on here. This is partially due to my laziness and partially due to me not being in the mood to write anything. A few things have happened since the last time I wrote anything. I’m not going to cover them all but I’ll give you the highlights.

Thanksgiving was good. Angie and I went to my parents house for a long weekend. We ate and watched football… nothing out of the ordinary there. We got a Moravian star tree topper for our Christmas tree. This is our first Christmas together in our own place. We got a fake tree from Wal-Mart but it still cost more than you’d think a fake tree would cost. It better last us at least 4 more years. For the most part, I let Angie decorate the tree. I helped her a little but she did most of the work. The end result is nice and I’d post a picture but I don’t have one on my computer at the moment.

It’s quite cold here now. I usually am hot more often than not so when I think it’s cold, it’s probably below freezing. About a week or so before Thanksgiving (sorry to backtrack), I was on my way to work and as I was coming down a small hill that I need to turn off of to enter the industrial park where my work is, I lost my traction. There was a thin layer of slippery snow on the ground and that combined with my summer tires that aren’t meant for slippery snow covered hills, resulted in me spinning about 130 degrees and coming to a stop in a small ditch on the left side of the road. It damaged my bumper and my passenger side fog light among a few other things and I just took it in to get repaired on Monday. So now I have a rental car… a Chevy Cobalt… I don’t like Chevy. Hopefully my car will be done either today or Friday at the latest.

My car isn’t the only thing that needed repaired. The Saturday night after Thanksgiving (yes, we are backtracking again), I was playing Xbox 360 and it was late so I was done for the night. I turned it off using the guide button on the controller and I got the Red Ring of Death… again. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I thought it would be okay once I got back home and set it up. No luck. So I had to ship it to Texas again and find something else to do with my time at night when I usually play Xbox. I watched one of my Netflix movies which I’ve had sitting around for a month or two. Planet Horror, the first movie in the Grindhouse double feature thing that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did. It was amusing. I liked it. I also played the Wii more than I have since I first got it. I bought World of Goo. I never heard of the game until it was nominated and won the video game award for best indie game. Its pretty fun. I like puzzle games like that if you could call it a puzzle game, which I think you could. So I should have my Xbox 360 tomorrow later today. They tried to deliver it yesterday but they need a signature. I get off work at 2pm and Angie is off so hopefully one of us will be here to sign for it.

We leave on Saturday to go to my parents house for about a week. I originally wanted to go on Friday but Angie wants to go shopping with her mom which is fine because I can play with whatever I get for Christmas while she is out shopping. I asked her for Gears of War 2 but I think she didn’t get it for me. She got it for her brother who is getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas so I guess she didn’t wanna go buy it again. That’s fine, I’ll get it myself. She may have gotten me Wii Fit. She went to a store at 6am one Saturday a week or two back to get something for me. Wii Fit seems like the kind of thing you’d need to do that for.

Well, it’s about 1:30 and I need to get up at 7:00 so I’m going to wrap it up now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I have a thing about odd and even numbers. I usually don’t like odd years but since I’m getting married in 2009, maybe it won’t be so bad after all.
