HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Now, I suppose I should have set this up to automatically post at midnight, but I was lazy and didn’t have time. So Happy Belated New Year! Resolutions, anyone? I’m personally shooting for 2048×1536… Nerd humor…
Merry Non-denominational winter holiday
I personally celebrate Christmas, though not in a particularly religious manner. I’ll confess to taking part in the capitalistic psychosis that is modern Christmas and enjoying it to boot. It’s a nice way to get to see family, eat lots of food, and get presents! If I ever need a stiffer moral justification, I’m celebrating the birth of Jesus with all the Christians! (Even if he was actually born sometime around April). Not as some messianic Son of God, mind ye, but as a particularly wise individual, on a Dalai Lamic scale (yeah, I just said Dalai Lamic. Get over it). But yeah, there’s my justification.
On the note of gift receiving, I got a new camera! Canon Powershot A590 IS. Finally a camera I’m not embarrassed to own. It’s technically a point and shoot, but it’s got more manual settings than you could shake a stick at, not to mention absolutely ridiculous resolutions somewhere around 3264×2448 at the highest. Beautiful quality, too. In short, I’m really happy. Because of the new camera, I set myself up a Flickr account. Check it out here.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and Splendid Solstice.
Wow… That’s a lot of snow…
We are currently experiencing freakish quantities of snow. It is about 17° outside and snowing with a lot of wind. Suffice it to say it’s slightly less than pleasant. The sun hasn’t been visible all day. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though… I for one enjoy not having so much sun. Not that I’m volunteering to go outside in the near future…
It frakking snowed!!!!
The title pretty much says it all, but I may as well say it. We don’t get a lot of snow around here, so it’s a very happy-making occasion when we do. It helps that our school district is pretty wimpy: they’ll close schools if there’s two inches of snow (maybe an exaggeration, but close…). So I’m not seeing a whole lot of snow in my future…
