Another Christmas comes to a close. We spent it very low key. No one exactly came around or called. Which is just how it is sometimes. Sad in some ways but not a deal breaker. We ended up watching a lot of Dr Who. Which I haven't seen since I was a child and the doctor had giant hair and a funky scarf. We were confused but enjoyed it.
Hopefully someone got that gift link in my last post. I haven't checked and no ones spoken up exactly. Which might be telling me that I should just stop with this, but that might be going too far. Hope your holidays were good.
The Internet thankfully died early Christmas day, so I missed out on the flood of people who post those ungrateful mean terrible human being posts on twitter or reddit about how every this ruined because they didn't get the right kind of car or a new iPhone in the right color. That kind of sucks any joy out of anything. So I'm glad for the few hours rest of the always on screaming march of progress and simply just being with the few people who actually care enough to be here. I didn't really get anything to show off, nor do I need anything (except maybe more work and clients who don't stiff me)
I did get Ali a laptop, she needed one. Upgraded the ram a bit. I got into an argument with a client who decided he didn't want to pay me despite finishing what he asked. I'm just not having any luck. Lost a bunch of time and money. So I already came in with a sour mood. What made it better was throwing a few humble bundles to some random people I don't know. Some were actually really appreciative. So that made me feel good. Also the humble bundles help out charity, and the developers of said games in the bundle. Not sure if it's still running, but they do new ones often. Check them at humblebundle.com
We did one last thing, an old tradition in my family where we go out when everyone's out at mass to go check out Christmas lights. One neighbor kicked so much ass that everyone else didn't bother this year. They run a fund drive for a children's hospital every year and they do this insane display. Every inch of lawn covered in light up characters. Synced lights to music. Giant gates covered in damn near everything Christmas. A roof adorned with everything else. Every year, more and bigger. I bow to its glory.
The pictures are on my phone, so I'll likely drop those on twitter.
Oh and we got word that the cat we were looking at from that rescue organization, the prior possible owners dropped out. And he's ours if we want him still. I have a few questions, but I'm leaning toward getting the little guy.
Ultimately, this Christmas, while isolated and strange, with things going sour on one end, ended up turning out decent. Now if anyone need coupons for steam, I has many to hand out.
Tomorrow I may have a new cat in here.
