The X-Mas Story

It was a rainy day when we arrived in Western NY. I dropped off Z (for mind torture) and picked up Eric on my way on in. Even though the snow was melting, there was a ton of it; when I decided that chipping the giant icicles off of the roof was a good idea, I wound up breaking the deck. Who knew gravity was such a hussy?

Christmas was great..I really feel sad every time I leave. It's really like going over to a friends' house and then being shown the door just after a little bit. Z on the other hand gets a little bit of life energy sucked out of her via her parents. It's like that scene in the Dark Crystal where the evil Skeksis turn muppets into soulless, zombie slaves - with extra soul-sucking.


Just like that.

Where was I...ah yes, my family rocks. We awoke Christmas morning to a present tsunami - obviously Santa had been busy this year. Our favorite gifts were definitely matching Janitor uniforms with our names embroidered, and yet another arcade-like game to add to our collection in the basement. This one was particularly awesome AND fun! Getting together really brings out our competitive nature, so we played each other at pool, bubble hockey, the basketball thing, and even Skill Crane. btw: I can't believe Leah whupped us all 4-3-1-1!!!

I called MTV/Comedy Central/Viacom again and found that they funnel everyone through their website, no alternatives. On one hand, go them for using solely web, but it sucks to be a part of the teeming masses caught up in that web...OH THE PUN...
