Happy holidays

Time away from work is fun! Yay!

This has been a pretty good Christmas for me. The biggest thing is I got my eyes fixed on the 23rd - believe it or not, it's quite thrilling for me to be able to wear a pair of cheap $12 sunglasses! Recovery seems to be good - had some blurring last night driving on the highway (pulled over and let my wife drive pretty quickly after I figured out that it wasn't going to clear up with blinking), but some eye drops and a few minutes of resting my eyes made that better.

Saw "Super Size Me" again at my folks' place - decided that I need to start exercising and paying attention to what I'm eating. Yes, this is a recurring theme for me, but it's better to keep trying than to just give up and become one with the couch.

And finally, my brother-in-law bought me Halo for the PC on Boxing Day, after I bought it for him for Christmas. I haven't been able to play it, though - my laptop doesn't have a powerful enough video card, and my desktop doesn't have a powerful enough processor. The only other machine that I have access to should run it fine, but it's my workstation at the office. Sigh... and I don't see much in the way of hardware upgrades coming in the near future. Sucks to be me sometimes, I guess.

Gotta run - my son just emptied out the cat food all over the bathroom floor. The joys of parenthood...
