Holiday Loot
Wasn’t a particularly overwhelming haul this year as far as numbers goes, but it was still a very good Christmas. Andrea got me a $100 gift certificate for one of the tattoo parlors in town. I got her a copy of Office Space on DVD, Rayman: Raving Rabbids for the Wii, and I picked up a KitchenAid Artisan Mixer for the house.
We’ve definitely gotten our money out of the mixer so far. Making breads, cookies, french toast batter, you name it. I haven’t managed to get my hands on any of the attachments for it yet, but one of these days I’ll be able to grind my own sausage and what have you. That’s when I’ll acknowledge that I’ve truly evolved from the animals, when I can make processed meat products in my own home.
I let Andrea open her present on the 23rd, we started playing the game on the 26th, and we beat the game yesterday. Fun, tough in spots, but a good game to play between two people. We haven’t unlocked everything yet, but beating the game in under 24 hours is nothing to really sneeze at, I suppose.
Looks like now all I have left to do is celebrate New Year’s Eve (this year wasn’t my best), plan for a massive hangover on New Year’s Day, look into some tattoo designs, and work on making 2008 better than 2007. I’m not sure, but I might even have Chad do some video for the tattoo and we can release a video podcast of my being branded like a steer once again. Who knows.
I know it’s been a while since I updated this, so I thought I’d let you all know what was going on in the world o’ Jerry. That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. Oh, and thanks to everyone who sent Andrea and I holiday well wishes. It was very much appreciated, even if I didn’t send a reply text or phone call. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel the same or that I don’t care for you guys, I was just up to my armpits in busy.
So, happy belated religious holiday of your choice, happy New Year, and may 2008 be better than its predecessor.
