Counting Down...

So this historic (in both good and bad ways) year has come to an end. I am among the folks that think the next year couldn't get much worse economy wise. At least I'm hoping that's correct. Hopefully, President-elect Obama will help turn the country around.

I resolve to start exercising and dieting (yeah, big shocker there). As usual, I'll probably give up after a couple of weeks, if that long. We'll see how it goes.

Post-Christmas Revelations

Actual heading in the user manual of a Samsung Blu-Ray disc player:

Before using the user manual

And it's on page 9! Not the first thing you open up to, but you actually have to read through the table of contents (or whatever they're considered in a user manual) to find it. Nice huh?

Christmas this year was nice though I had to contend with a sick kid. Now the other one is sick too. Such is the case of a household with children. I'm sure I'm next on the list. Good times. Nothing says joy to the world like laying on the couch watching A Christmas Story fifteen times in a row and being miserable. Poor kid didn't even want to open her presents. Now that's sick.

Tis the season

So I am sitting at work not feeling especially motivated. Maybe it's because I know that I have a bunch of stuff to do regarding the 25th of this month and I'm so not feeling it.

Maybe it's the economic downturn. Maybe it's the commercialization of the holiday. Maybe it's because I'm lazy. I'm betting it's a combination of all these factors. This year I just have not felt much in the Christmas spirit and I'm not sure why. I have managed to procrastinate longer than I ever have in the whole gift-giving process. Yeah me. I have just over a week left and I'm sorry to say that I'm not very inspired. Ugh. What is wrong with me? Maybe I'm suffering from Charlie Brown Christmas syndrome. Guess I should go looking for a pathetic looking, little tree to lift my spirits.
