Happy Holidays


I hope all you out there in blogland have had a happy holiday season. It’s been a truly fantastic time for me. My one qualm is with blogger since people can’t access my page for some bizarre reason. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. In other news I’ve made a discovery you see there is this thing called free time, I wasn’t aware of it until I started my vacation. It’s really interesting you can do things that you want to, even better if you choose to you can do nothing at all. I’d like to know how everyone’s holidays have gone, you guys are the best audience I could ever hope for and I genuinely care.

In other news my holidays have been full of fun and cheer. Christmas was interesting I got a few presents this year which is nice. The lovely Nikki gave me a wonderful argyle sweater which I adore. She also gave me another great sweater, a tie and a shirt. The shirt didn’t seem to fit properly so we tried every other size and it seems that the shirts were not designed for people with 2 upper body appendages. I also got the opportunity to go see the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Nashville predators. While my sports discussions are usually limited to me saying “Well how about that local sports team” I had fun. The first period seemed slightly slow but it picked up in the second period. This may or may not have to do with the beer I picked up.

This holiday season has been filled will disturbing realizations. One of them is that I seem to like dinosaurs way too much. While looking for gifts for my lovely girlfriend I came across a stuffed animal display. Instead of looking at the cute little animals I spent the next five minutes checking out a Tyrannosaurus. I passed on it although I must admit the I came pretty close. Another strange realization I came to was for some reason every calendar store in Toronto seems to but they’re animal calendars beside calendars of naked men. I was getting the “you perv” look from people that rounded the corner and saw me checking out calendars. Maybe you folks can enlighten me on what naked men and tigers have in common, and Siegfried and Roy is not the right answer. In my random thought of the day does anyone have any idea where I can pick up a nice briefcase?

Your vacation has been action-packed -- far more so than mine, unfortunately. In fact, I have already returned to work and am hating every moment. :(

Anyway, perhaps the naked man/tiger connection is purely hypothetical -- i.e., the nude model advertises the male ideal of an animalistic ruffian, both in the bedroom or out. Or something.

No clue about locating a nice briefcase... though Toronto must be brimming with them this time of year.

I'm guessing the briefcase is for your calendars? :-) Most malls have a store or two that sells them or try a department store.

Sounds like a good holiday, I've been enjoying the free time concept myself! Happy 2007.

You should've gotten that calender full of donkeys.

Hi MT! I worked over the holidays so no fun and interesting things to relate there. But that rotation is finally over and I have a little more free time. In fact this whole weekend off--wonder of wonder! And, I got to finally try out the stunt kite yesterday. It was harder than it looks! We got it in the air a few times before crashing it and deciding to wait for a day with more wind and heading to get some desserts for lunch instead.

Happy 07!

Oh, and maybe Coach for the breifcase? They have nice stuff usually.
