Ended up spending most of the day playing some board games with Heather’s uncle Jim along with Charles’ brother and friend. I enjoyed the two that we played, Memoir 44 and Settlers of Catan. Both are really good games, but the latter doesn’t focus on World War 2, so it may appeal to more people. I’ll probably own both of them in the near future. I think Danielle and John would like Settlers.

So, Meghan and I are down in Columbus for Heather and Charles’ wedding. I attempted to catch up with Drew, but our schedules didn’t work out, which is too bad.
As for it being an Oswaltian evening… Patton Oswalt is a comedian that I have come to enjoy. He has a couple bits, which were in some way, noticed this evening, and those were:
- There were some midgets at the bar we were at
- There was a Jackyl album in the jukebox
- We saw Carvel ice cream cakes at Kroger
What is also ironic is that the three things were noticed in the same order they are said in the recorded performance.
It’s time to get ready for bed. Apparently we’ll be getting flowers from one of Heather’s aunts and uncles places tomorrow. However, I will get to check out her uncle’s variety of board and other strategy games.
I’m not sure if I should use “Happy” or “Merry” preceding Christmahanukwanzakah… perhaps I should say “Meppy” or “Merpy”. Oooo… I like “Merpy”.
So make that a Merpy Christmahanukwanzakah to all.
Yesterday I showed Meghan how to add movie reviews and the like on the site, starting with We’re No Angels so expect to see more from her.
After she added that, Andy stopped by. We exchanged some minor gifts (a Grounds For Thought coffee mug and a Toothpaste For Dinner t-shirt for him and a Firefox t-shirt and a toy dragon for me) and then went to Arabica for a couple of hours and played rummy and caught up on things. After that, we came back home to get ready for dinner at a restaurant in Beachwood. We got family style, and there was more than enough food. And it was delicious. When we came back home and everyone got a gift from Santa: matching Christmas (Santa and reindeer) pajama pants to wear on Christmas morning.
Christmas morning involved waking up and exchaning and opening gifts. I got plenty of things that I needed/wanted, including:
- a George Foreman grill (with waffle and skillet)
- a cold brew coffee maker
- Stargate SG1 Season 4
- The Critic DVD series
- The Belgariad series (by David Eddings)
- Age of Empires 3
- a glow-in-the-dark dragon puzzle
- a “cute” “Merry Christmas” dragon
- a Patton Oswalt 2-CD set
- and a couple other things I can’t recall right now
I’ll let Meghan list her items if she wants. I need to go eat some food, so that Meghan and I can go for a walk before we head over to my aunt and uncle’s place for a family gathering.
Oops is right.
I’m not quite sure what I was thinking, but I accidentally deleted the forums. I thought I was just deleting associated categories. Oh well. It’s not like that much was lost as a result. So for now there will be one forum called “IT Redux”, and that will be that.
Minor additions to the site.
- added an About page
- added a site map page (still working on that)
- added the ability to have registered users rank (1-10) movie, book, and forum nodes
- changed the links up top around a bit
- added a footer
- made images for the footer (via Button Maker)
Things I plan on doing:
- redoing the categories
- finding random modules that would be nice for the site
- stealing ideas from Langemark’s Cafe
I’ll be driving to Cleveland area tonight.
It’s like an epic saga. Firefox enters, claiming to be the salvation for the tiny hamlet. In his effort to save the hamlet, he gets fooled into harming it. Once this is realized, he does something that redeems himself to the hamlet.
That is what the Performancing toolbar is: Firefox redeeming itself for the memory issues.
This may not mean anything to you, but for me that means I can login to my website via a Firefox extension and add blog posts. I don’t even have to open a new tab or anything. I can do it while looking at the page I want to comment on.
