Only 9 Shopping Days Left...

...so don't forget all those Jew girls. Thanks to Sarah Silverman for reminding me with that little music video. And if you don't know what to get them, perhaps this "little" number would do the trick. Good for all those men in your life, too. PPE, now I know where you got it.

Well, with the holiday season upon us like your Uncle Carl on the maid, and only a few days left to shop, I'm proud to say that I'm finished. Nothing left but the wrapping. For the first time in who knows how long I will NOT be shopping on Christmas Eve and wrapping Christmas morning. It helps that I'll be in London on Saturday to spend some time with my friends.

Each day my goal is to give you a little Christmas joy and advice, much like what I've listed above. Hope you enjoy it.

I watched "Space Cadets" again last night. While it wasn't as funny as the night before, it did have it's moments. One in particular was f*cking brilliant. Two of the "cadets" were to conduct an experiment regarding electricity and vegetables, similar to the potato-powered clock. In this experiment they powered a race track with a kiwi and, in a stunning coup-de-grace, a fax machine with a tomato. Who knew?!

Busy, busy, busy goes the bee with a Monday deadline. Things at work have really prevented me from getting out and running, or just getting out and doing other things. Our first phase demonstration is Monday morning so after that I'm hoping things pick up. I'm also hoping to not have to be here over the weekend. Tonight I'm going out for a few drinks with the guys from work, and tomorrow I'm planning on visiting some series of mining caverns nearby. Should be fun.

I'll leave you with this bit of British colloquialism: "Snogging" is a term used here similar to our P.D.A.s in the States. Two people being, um, affectionate, in public are said to be "snogging." Oh, and they spell yogurt with an "h," as in "yoghurt." For those of you that don't like the stuff you might find the spelling funny.

And, lastly, a photograph for you. A little "Christmas-like" scene from Boston a few years back. Enjoy!

Now, I'll have to place an order, so I've got two for Two-Fisting Tuesdays!
