A very merry day-after Christmas to you all! I would have written sooner, but once again my computer is in the shop. <sigh> Anyway, it was a fairly interesting weekend, so I figured I’d give you the holiday recap:
Friday Night
After by little above fender-bender class accident earlier in the morning, I needed to unwind, so a few of my co-workers and I headed for the Dublin House in Red Bank, a nice little bar with that authentic irish feel to it. Not like I’ve ever been to a REAL irish bar before, but I guess this is what one would be like. ^_^
I got to know Nick, Jason, and Robin (the afformentioned co-workers) a lot better, played some pool (rather poorly, I might add), and I did nothing to break the raging drinker stigma I have forming at work. I must have downed at least six hard ciders without ever feeling it. Could it be I’m developing a tolerance? God I hope not. Alcohol is expensive enough with zero tolerance….
Saturday
What happens when you wait until two days before Christmas to start your shopping? You do suprisingly well with your gift buying! Once again I tempted fate for the holiday season, but with the exception of having to wait on some lines that were quite ungodly in their lengths and sales clerks who missed their "How to fake politeness" classes, everthing went extreemly well. And to top it all off, my Giants grabbed the top seed in the NFC playoffs. Will wonders never cease….
Sunday
Ah, Christmas Eve. I look forward to this night almost as much as I look forward to Christmas Day itself…unless I have to work for three mind-numbing hours at my part-time job. Oh well. I did get my first Kyuss CD at Jesse’s house afterwords as I spent many an hour bullshiting with my friends. Think Santa might have been a little pissed that I didn’t walk in my door until 3:30 in the morning?
Monday (a.k.a Christmas)
Usually you have to physicaly toss me from my bed to wake me up on Christmas morning, but for the first time in about a decade or so, I was the first one up in my house. The day’s bounty included the new COC Album along with the final Cowboy Bebop DVD, so I got what I asked for. What more could an overgrown kid want?
