Well, it’s Christmas again, and here I am sitting alone in the apartment. I was over at Andrea’s house earlier today to exchange presents and eat lunch with her family. Lunch probably isn’t the right word, since it consisted of a pork rib roast and more side items than can fit comfortably on the plate. Andrea gave me 2 classical CD’s, The Fellowship of the Ring 4 DVD box, a Spiderman DVD, a Dune DVD, Bruce Campbell’s book, a scifi book, the new Castlevania game for GBA, and a nifty pen. Her parents got me some slippers.

Also, my dad sent me a microwave, which is still at work, I’m thinking I’ll bring it home tomorrow. This will replace the one that cooks really fast, but burns a hole in a bag of popcorn. Mary, my step-mother, sent me a cook book with a bunch of simple recipies involving stuff from cans. Each thing has like 3 ingredients, nice and simple.

I was supposed to go to my parents’ house in the afternoon, but because of the snow storm, we decided I shouldn’t go. Andrea went off to her aunt’s house, and I went back to the apartment.

That’s about it really. I’ve been mostly watching Bond films on TNN and playing CS since I got back. I finally hooked up the UPS that used to be on Hindenburg to my home PC, and redid some of the wiring behind my desk so I can plug everything in at once. Crawling around to charge my cellphone was beginning to be a bit of a pain.
