    happy hannukah
    merry christmas

    Whatever, anyways Happy Holidays !

    This'll be the first year in a few years I'm really getting no new hardware for Christmas (or asked) but that's because I needed a new pair of skis so I had to make the trade. No new hardware I really want anyways unless it's gonna be some type of Mac or something fancy and not x86 like that. I am getting UT2004 though which'll be plenty of fun for quite the while on this hardware.

    Kinda early to start this but I'll be interested to see what everyone gets.

    I treated myself with a brandnew 12" powerbook.

    I have to say it's really cool, but I miss KDE's many options that allow to tailor the desktop exactly to your needs.

    There is skiing in Jersey? Must have some pretty short runs on those highway onramps.

    Sorry couldn't resist.

    Hahaha yeah the skiing here sucks. Don't worry, no resistance needed. And I'll have you know that though they may be highway onramps, they're the most intense runs I've ever done! You've never skiied next to a car before have ya??

    Just kidding btw. Yeah the skiing here (and not really here, more like Western PA) is bad, but I go to New York, Vermont and Canada to compensate for the badness.

    I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

    Haha I wish I could. Maybe someday. My brother and dad actually are going out to Utah this Saturday for a week or so. Too bad I couldn't go. Oh well though.

    Sounds like fun, I just wish I could. My family is going on a ski trip to Colorado (not real good skiiing in SW Wisconsin either) but not taking me. Stupid school
