Holiday Tidings

Oh hai! I DO still have a blog here!

(Of course, as soon as this blog is no longer counted toward credit, I start using meme-speak....)

And my absence can be explained by my computer crashing every time I tried to open the blog. Huh. I'm glad it waited til after the class was over before crashing.

Well then, how shall I summarize the last few weeks since I last posted here?

  • After my birthday, Christmas and a sale at BestBuy, I now have an Android superphone, a Kobo eReader tablet and an upgraded, full-size HP laptop. The dinosaur flip phone is dead and the HP Mini is now my kid brother's computer.
  • And yes, I named the Android "HK-47", the Kobo "My Datapad" and the laptop "Darth Megabyte" (The mini was named Darth Byte).
  • I hate my hometown. If you hear anything in the news about Three Hills, know that I refuse to associate myself with that town or Prairie. Not for the reasons you may think.
  • I'm finding it much harder to re-read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy as quickly as I did when I was twelve. Maybe perhaps now I actually have a social life and the Internet. So, unless I can finish half of Fellowship of the Ring and the other two books by tomorrow evening...
  • On that note, I have Shakespeare's plays on my Kobo. I am well-pleased with this.
  • I've proven myself a complete geek by downloading Pazaak apps and playing those.
  • It is possible for a cat to hide in the engine of a truck for a 150 km trip to Red Deer and (aside from being scared out of five or so lives) survive intact. Yes, I know this from personal experience. Stupid cat.
  • I. Hate. Winter. Driving.
  • Dentists.
  • The interrogations about my boyfriend from my assorted family members WILL NEVER END.
  • Oh yeah, something about Kim Jong Il dying or something?...
And lo, for there is my life update. See you all sometime next year!
