Christmas Time is Here Again

Our office closes at noon and I don’t have to be back until January 3rd, 2007. It feels a bit like the last day of school. Plans for the break include (but are not limited to):

  • Beginning and ending my Christmas shopping this weekend
  • Sleeping in
  • Sleeping out
  • Eating in
  • Eating out
  • Attempting to launch a site-wide redesign here before New Year’s
  • Attempting to fly to SC next weekend via standby
  • Throwing out all the food-based science projects currently festering in my refrigerator
  • Uploading the ~300 moblog photos on my Treo
  • Re-uploading the ~200 moblog photos from last month that were lost post-server-crash
  • Organizing my out-of-control iTunes library (nerd)
  • Listening to copious amounts of Demon Hunter
  • You?

      “• Organizing my out-of-control iTunes library (nerd)”

      This is something I do on a frequent basis, and get made fun of for doing so.

      Painting my bedroom - AKA - Heaven’s Gate
      Painting my kitchen
      Playing copious amounts of NBA 2k7
      Seeing if Robert De Niro can actually direct
      Wondering why Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin are the new Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
      Wondering why I like Alec Baldwin so much
      Honing my Bryant Gumble, 50 Cent, Curtis Blow, Dr. Dre, and Elvis impersonations (see: tubatomic xmas)
      Buying a baby-blue Onesie with “black sheep” printed in stencil on the chest

      Well, I do tend to listen to Undying over and over, but mainly because I like Yogi’s drum parts in it.

      I’m in there with the obsession over my iTunes library.
      I plan to clean up mine as well.
      Along with the iPod.
      Dorks unite.

      Oh and yeah….playing with my Wii and drinking the free Patron I got here at the agency.

      Good times.

      You know what, if you made the right angry face and grew a goatee, you could definitely masquerade as a member of Demon Hunter :)

      Horrible tense usage in that past sentence aside, thsi holiday season I plan to do the following:

      - Actually motivating outside of jobland and establishing a home workflow in order to complete some fun freelance stuff.
      - Drive to Florida and back on two consecutive weekends,
      - while listening to that free John Hodgman book.
      - Enjoying time with friends & family in the joyous celebration of the season.
      - Packing the list of 3262327828 items my wife just emailed me and asked me to take care of since we’re leaving today and I’m the one that has today off.

      - Attempting to escape the blizzard-slammed Denver Airport to get to Dallas.
      - Once there, enjoying Mi Cocina and fighting crowds to get my shopping done.
      - Attending a high-society Texas wedding on a ranch in Hunt, Texas.
      - Wearing cowboy boots for the first (and last) time in my life for said wedding.

      I hope MAT’s Bryant Gumble impersonation isn’t too good or i might start hating him also.

      Am I the only one who makes sure that as I import songs, I organize them?

      yes.

      No, I just tend to import/upload a ton of music at a time, so it’s always a chore when it happens.
