Vege pizza and cream for chicken for New Year’s Eve. Video-conferenced with the folks back home this morning while they were having a gathering. That was great fun and all the New Year cheer I need.

Life’s Simplest Pleasure
can sometimes just be a taste close to home.
Les 3 Brasseurs
Bleeding cold day. Had 3 half-pints, enough to make me feel the buzz but not enough to keep me warm. My thighs and jaw were numb by the time I got home. That was from just a 10 minutes walk … Continue reading
Really slept in today, only waking up after 11. Spent most of the day watching shows and playing games, actually just Portal 2. I had to check for walkthrough at one point when I got stuck; this game really requires … Continue reading

Validated my feature and got the games from the company as Christmas presents (in addition to the bag from yesterday). Pretty good day.
Presents!
Busier week than I expected. At least it should be better after tomorrow. Really looking forward to the holiday break.
