I changed my parents' desktop image to this before I went to bed last night so my dad had a surprise when he got on first-thing this morning. :D MY FAMILY HAZ TEH WEIRD.

I fucking LOVE my netbook. Srsly. These things should be standard issue. I'm FFing while wrapping presents and watching all the Christmas stuff I've TiVo'ed for the past three weeks. And LOOK! It even has a webcam!
Sweet, Christmas Story wrapping paper?? That would've gone great with my Christmas Story gift tags.

Yup! I also have Christmas Story gift bags and gift tags. Got 'em all at Wal-Mart last year. :D I use the stuff sparingly so I can make it last for as many Christmases as possible!

You don't have the leg lamp do you? I saw it for sale at our Rite Aid. LOL
- Ken
Netbook - which brand / model? I am looking into buying one, maybe!
- Susan Beebe
Aww they have the lamp at Rite Aid? My friend got one at a calendar stand at the mall. They had 3D leg lamp puzzles at B&N, but no lamps

If you shop at Amazon.com they have a few varieties I see, although most here just look like lamps: http://www.amazon.com/s...

We actually bought the full-size lamp for my dad for his upcoming retirement. It was shipped to us in a wooden "FRAGILE" crate. Well worth the price we paid. I'm guessing the one at Rite Aid is probably a much less expensive version.

@Susan: It's an Asus Eee PC...uh model 1005HAB-RBLK001S. Has Win7 and a 250gb HD. :) I'm loving this much more than I my regular laptop and now I'm feeling kind of guilty. But there's something to be said about being tiny and extremely easy to carry around. Maybe if I used my lappy and netty side-by-side for a bit... :D

Wow. I never really noticed before how mildly misogynitstic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is. Thx for letting me know what my place is, Rankin-Bass...
Wow. Sounds like a place I used to work. After a co-worker got fired (hygiene problems mostly) they found that he was feeding mice in a drawer in his cube. I still can't believe we couldn't hear them. Maybe the smell kept us out of hearing range.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
They keep complaining that building services won't do anything about it. OK, I get it that it's principle that building services should help out, but really, the mice are here because people are pigs and have created a nice viable source of food. The least these twits could do is bring in some traps. If everyone bought a Sherman, they'd be great. But no. They're lazy and would rather...

I'm like an elephant is to a mouse.. can't stand other furry creatures in my home that aren't my pets.. freaks me out. LOL
- Ken
The solution is just to keep food sealed until the mice can be caught. The building services staff should do something, but they probably have a lot of other (perhaps more important) things to do, too.

That reminds me of a Mammalogy field trip I took a few years back. I was showing some students how to process small mammals from Shermans and, you know, slapping the rodents on my thighs, measuring 'em, sexing them, etc. This big dude, whose nickname was MACHO, kept squealing like a little girl and jumping every time he tried to get a mouse or chippie out of the bag. I was like, "Look-...

LOL Best Buy rocks. I might go to the one in Citrus Heights with my Mom next week.
- Ken
Not because you wait 'til the last minute. You still have another day for that. :-)
- Tom Landini
Lol well thankfully I wasn't in there Christmas shopping. Been done with that for weeks. No, I was nutty enough to go there for a cable and an external DVD drive. o.O

he must have forgotten that movie stars are supposed to get nose jobs. his schnozz must have grown due to steroid use, just like his pecs. but the ladies seem to like him, so that's cool.
- Morgan Haley
I don't like him. He's not a bad-looking kid, but that's just it. HE'S A FUCKING KID. And he's in Twilight, which is now sullying what little respect I had left for Rolling Stone.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
On the plus side...I read the article while waiting at an appointment today and he seems like a good, down-to-earth kid, so. I'm OK with that. But really? I'd rather he not be on the cover. In a wet t-shirt. Because of the Twilight saga. :-/

It figures. The one day I'm here at work this week, all my cool coworkers are off having Chinese food and getting stoned together. While I sit here and run reports for year-end settlement. BOO.
And the retard Dr. Phil a few days ago told kids to get out of the room because after the break.. he told adults how to tell their kids Santa isn't real... I wonder how many 100's or 1000's of kids now believe he is fake now because of him, bastard.
- Ken
Kids of that age probably shouldn't be watching Dr. Pnil anyway - come to think of I don't think anybody of any age should be watching.
- Brian Sullivan
That's all true, but you know some parents don't care that much.

I've been baking and candy-making since 9am. I still have at least another 2 hours to go (fudge, spiced walnuts, and butter cookies - the three most time-consuming). I'm so fucking done already. DONE I SAY.
In other news, I really enjoy the word "tinker" and I don't understand why I can't find more opportunities to use it in everyday speech. Same with "moxie", "ogle", and the phrase "I like the cut of your jib".
My boss just gifted me with a 1-yr premium subscription to Lynda.com...my eyes are going crossed from the myriad of training possibilities that now stretch out before me. I'm gonna be dangerous...
The funny thing is, he was able to get the subscription paid for by our company by selling it to his supervisor as a necessary tool for developing important business skills. :D But really, he thought it would be something cool for me to have because he knows I like tinkering with all sorts of software. :)

The best training site on the web, IMO.

LOL I'm a financial analyst. In no way does being a Social Media Expert provide any sort of leverage for a salary increase 'round these here parts. :)

It is wrong. However, FriendFeeding is permissible, nay, expected.

I just found a drunken webcam video I shot of myself and a friend on vacation back in February specifically for the purpose of sharing with FriendFeed. Debating on whether or not I should actually upload the damn thing.
@Brian: My mom would be proud, my future mate would have a sense of humor, and my employer watches South Park. So I'm safe. Not to mention that it's not *that* kind of drunken webcam video. Gimme some credit. :P
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
LOL Actually I tried figuring out how to get it up to YouTube last night but there's something sketchy about the file size and format. I'm not adept with webcam video in the least bit. I think that's why I didn't upload it back in February... :-/
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
DO IT!!!! DO IT!!! You probably just need a simple format coder/converter (this one's floss http://www.mediacoderhq.com/) & If your fam has problem with drinking, just say you were stoned outta your mind ~ they'll understand.
- sofarsoShawn
If you don't post it I'm filing for a divorce. Unless I'm the drunken friend in which case you should send it to me directly.
- Sparky
We haven't gotten drunk together yet, Sparky. YOU OWE ME. I'll be up there in February. :D Flying in the afternoon of the 18th and home the afternoon of the 21st. MARK YOUR CALENDAR, LITTLE MAN.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
This is weaksauce, btw. I think y'all are expecting the video to be wayyyyyy more scintillating than it actually is. LOL There's also a video of me blowing bubbles with my gum, but I'm sober and in my pajamas in that one. That will stay safely on my PC.
