Our Santa Rocks

Talking to Santa
OK, we're waiting for our presents...
Thank-you Chris, you are the man. They were so excited (a little scared) that Santa was actually in their rooms delivering presents. Nicole's reaction was pure magic. Abby's reaction was rather non-chalant. "well of course he was here" kind of thing. Too cute. Thanks for taking the time!

PS. We hope Abby is good now. ;)

Per request, we will be getting dinner at the South Street Smokehouse tonight. I know Phollower will be pleased! Send your dinner orders in. See you all later!

So...

Creature Comforts

I can not recall who I told this to and who I have not, so I am posting it. The animators who did Wallace and Grommit have a show on BBC (I think we get it on PBS) called Creature Comforts. They are doing a new Christmas one and it is showing on the 23rd in the evening (and many times again after that). If you do a search by "Creature Comforts" in TiVo, you will find it.

Santa Gallery

Gallery of Pictures Taken with Santa: I particularly enjoyed pictures 7 and 9.

FYI: Nip/Tuck Season Finale Tuesday

Just FYI, two hour season finale for Nip/Tuck tomorrow night! The Carver's identity is supposed to be revealed in the last five minutes. Can't wait!

I Give You KONG...timeslots.

Here are the showtimes at the theater closest to our house Trader's Point and the next closest Regal Village. Both have easy access to a bunch of restaurants, just looks as if it depends upon time preference. Either theater is about 15 minutes from our house.

A worthy c(l)ause

Just read about this at the Giant in the Playground, some of you may have seen it at Penny Arcade as well, which is where I think it started.

Child's Play

Basically, it's a charity where you buy some toys, games, books, DVDs, etc. for a children's hospital (Riley is on the list) from a wishlist that the hospitals have set up. So you get to pick the specific item that you donate - very cool, and a way to influence the impressionable minds of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of sick little kids (and incidentally help make their tough little lives perhaps just a wee bit more tolerable).

Here's more info: About Child's Play

If any of you want to go in on something in a bigger price range (e.g. a game system or something) let me know.

What Beatles Song Are You?

Here's a fun little quiz that will tell you which Beatles song you are.
I'm Jude.

Chocolate Math

My number was 234, and it is correct. Do the math for yourself. It's cool.

Don't tell me your age, you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHThis is pretty neat.DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute .Work this out as you read ..Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate(more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)


3. Add 5


4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755 ....If you haven't, add 1754.


6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.You should have a three digit numberThe first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).The next two numbers areYOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Apparantly everyone has a blog now.

Even, The Carver from Nip/Tuck. Creepy! Oh, and can I just add my thoughts that the idea of a Christmas special Nip/Tuck for next week looks a bit on the cheesy side? Pls Pls Pls don't ruin one of my shows FX! :-/
