Haven't had a completely random update lately so minus whale be very Hynds like and ketchup. Get it?
- Friday night the Niff and I headed downtown for Midnight Merriment. They close off Main Street and all the participating stores stay open until midnight. It was pretty cool, they had ice sculptures, horse drawn carriages, and a ton of people walking around with their dogs. The best part about it I think was exploring in all the shops we've never been in. Most of the places that were open seem to blend in during the day but it was cool to check them out in more detail.
- “It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that’s dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It’s so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can’t say the things you want to.” - Henry Rollins
- This weekend the Niff and I officially had our first meal at our new kitchen table. Most people don't think it's a big deal, but after what we've been through with this table it was a good way to start sunday morning. I wanted a new kitchen table because we eat 99% of our meals in the living room in front of the TV and I really wanted to at least have a place where we could feel like we are connecting. Sounds cheesy, but my meals with my family growing up consume a lot of the great memories I have of my childhood.
- My advent calendar kicks your advent calendars ass.
And not just because Lola is sitting in front of it. Three words: Lindt fucking Chocolate. That's right. No cheap stuff this year. What a feeling to wake up and immediately have 100 grams of sugar to start the day. Ahhhh diabetes here I come. - A little bit of my soul is dying every week when the Patriots lose. Not because they are losing, but the way they are losing. Our defense is young and suspect and that used to be our bread and butter. We could go ahead and lose the last 4 games of the season and I wouldn't be shocked.
- I have this undying hunger for two Double Whoppers with cheese and a large fry. I know it's all kinds of awful but I can't help what my stomach wants. Nay, it needs.
- It snowed the other day and it was awesome. Two inches at the most but it finally feels like December. This is a good thing. You appreciate the warmth and the sun even more after a cold, hard New England winter.
- Three terms everyone seems to be saying that I absolutely abhor: just sayin', legit, and not so much. Every time I hear one of these I want to punch myself in the face. The day after Thanksgiving I think my sister used all three in the same sentence.
- Instead of lottery tickets where you can win $1 million, they should have local lottery tickets where you can win an awesome house. Think about it: if you don't like it or whatever, you could donate it to the homeless or a homeless program, or give it as a gift. It could be awesome.
- I'm down 15 lbs. since our weight loss contest at work started. I'm hoping to drop at least another 5 by next Friday so I'll be within 5 lbs. of my total goal weight. Plus it would be nice to have a chance at winning an iPod Touch. Before Christmas. And use it on Christmas day. Just sayin'. (See??? Saying that sucks!)
- I am a complete moron. I've had a Blu-Ray player since Black Friday and haven't watched a single Blu-Ray movie on it. Oh, maybe because I didn't buy a movie. That's like buying a jar of Nutella without having a spoon. Well, you can always use your fingers...
- I've always known Robin Williams was awesome. Further proof:
Life isn't good. Life is great.
