X Mas

I love Christmas. In a totally platonic, non-religious way, of course. Today I started putting up decorations around my apartment. The fooseball table was taking up a lot of room, so I took it apart and put it away to clear room for the Christmas tree my parents gave me. That was before I opened it up and realized how comically small it is. I had to put it on a chair just so it reaches eye level.

And I’m not sure the plastic instruments really count as holiday decorations. Oh well. It’s better than nothing.

And look at this leprechaun-Santa my mom got me. I think it’s pretty random/awesome.

This Christmas is bittersweet for me. It’s the first in a long time that I’m not spending with a significant other. Hanging up these decorations, knowing that I’m the only one who will be enjoying them on a regular basis, makes me a bit sad.

I’ll half-miss spending time with three different families over the holidays. Only half, because it can get pretty damn stressful trying to split up a few days of time to spend with a few dozen different people. Also, this year I can spend all my time with my one family, who will be gathering here from all across the globe for Christmas. I really look forward to seeing everyone again.

Oh, and my Xbox tried to play along with the holiday decorating by flashing three red lights and dying. I was afraid it’d be out of warranty, but luckily, Microsoft is self contradictory; the warranty for the 3 red lights is 3 years, but they will repair it after 3 years if the problem is 3 red lights. Wha? Still, having to send in the console for repairs once a year is a bit annoying. And I had to use Windows for the first time in a month today, and it sucked ass. Therefore, what I really really truly want for Christmas, Leprechaun Santa, is for Microsoft to burn or collapse or maybe get blowed up by a nuclear weapon of some kind. Thanx.

    I’m sure people say it all the time, but I really MEAN it when I say your tree is cute. Don’t let the cold (heartedness) get to you. A good lonely/sexy Christmassy movie I’d suggest you watch is Alfie. I feel your pain, man. My girl interest is ditching me for Cuba this year 😦

    With a Santa like that, you might just get your wish! I’m enjoying the festive Rock Band drums in the first shot.

    Sirbarret: Ouuuch, sorry to hear about the ditching. I've never seen Alfie so I'll have to give it a watch.Dale: Yeah, a pot of gold and some good Irish beer would make a nice Xmas gift. DR & SeangSTM: It's covered as long as they can replicate the sporadic red lights once I send it in. And I do have a PS3 which will probably be used for more than Blu Ray movies now. 🙂

    Be thankful you don’t have a significant other. This SO let her husband buy Rock Band when it came out in the summer (we have a wii) – but has only let him play it twice. 😛

    You're not the only one I know this Christmas that had a 360 die (again). They all switched to PS3 as well.Microsoft can't die though. We couldn't live without great products like the Zune & Vista. BTW. What the hell did you have to use Windows for?

    I needed it for research software that only works on Windows. So I tried creating a slipstreamed service pack 2 disc on my old PC, so I could install Windows on my Mac. When I tried doing that, I got an error message, and my Mac would no longer boot. Windows infected the Mac with its crappiness!I got it working again. Sans Windows.
