Playing BioShock 2 on PS3, Terra on her PS2 in her room with Indigo Prophecy, Wesley PSP’ing Lego Batman – all xmas games 🙂

Watching the present I think I forgot to mention – Primer on dvd – which means I’m alone 😛 I watch it on my PSP all the time.

I’ve never seen Primer on anything but my PSP – and it’s the only movie I ever watch over and over. A deep puzzle I still find new clues in.

The ps3 video editing app is not simple nor quick but I got one finished this morning (mom’s presents) and will hopefully upload soon.

SWEET!! I am one of the luckies to have time limit removed for YouTube uploads! Just in time for xmas vids! Watch me do mah happeh dance!!

Christmas over?! Pshaw. We proudly carry on the tradition of not packing up our Christmas stuff until New Years Day 🙂

Hmm. It would seem the ps3 upload app doesn’t know my youtube uploads are unlimited and broke my vid into two parts!? Grrr.

Any coffee people have more good how-to/info links? I’m total vacpot newb and HB has nothing (?!) http://coffeegeek.com/guides/siphoncoffee

Talk about internet-dependent. I didn’t bother to look up vacpot info in my coffee books on the bar. Sheesh.

Loading up BioShock 2 !!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 (what?! a 5 gig install???!!! Grrrr…)

Hurriedly shot a video about vaping for Terra’s parents’ xmas e-cig package, now hurriedly editing it so we can upload it to Facebook asap.

Terra gave me a few-hours-early Christmas present – my favorite cologne (since I was a teen) that’s impossible to find any more 🙂

Facebook pissing me off, gonna’ upload the vaping vids to youtube instead. Bore thousands of viewers instead of just dozens 😛

Wow. Terra got me a vacpot for Christmas! 🙂 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/94yupN

Making vacpot coffee! http://flic.kr/p/94yS6E

Vacpot and hand grinder, BioShock 2, demis that match the capp cups I got on my bday, Santa Fe cologne, and blu-rays: Ink, Boogie Nights, Up

We, as a couple, got PS3 controllers – white for me (matches my PSP), pink for her – a little fondue pot, and blu-rays: Fargo, August Rush

So, tonight will be a chocolate fondue slumber party, with a girlfriend of hers coming over to join in 🙂

The Vudu 99 cent end of year sale is very impressive – many choices, all genres, (almost) all in HD/HDX at same price.

Today, I’m really wishing I had one of those Ativans they gave me at the hospital last year.

(Though, the ativan made me think i was hearing things – like voices in the next room. All that stuff was a little freaky.)

Anywhere i’ve lived, it doesn’t get really miserably cold until after xmas. There’s nothing to look forward to and make the cold worth it.

So, I say we move christmas a few weeks later as a mid-winter treat. Feb 1? Kick out valentines day and there’s no conflict.

There are Christmas trees around the fire-damaged area in Cloudcroft http://www.cloudcroftwebcam.com/

I see my Twitters are failing to post to Facebook again.

Aw, frak!! It had to happen sooner or later – I dropped my favorite vapo in a sink of dish water. Drying out now, I hope it still works 🙁

The wine sale at Walgreens is spectacular.

For instance, at the Walgreens wine sale, the Coppola reds are $7 off! Got the malbec (love it) and cab sauv (never tried) for $14 each!

@MicheleSims1 Um, come to think of it, I didn’t even notice. We just dropped in and saw many selections had a sale tag.

I’m having chicken green chile stew for a quick breakfast (hey, it’s New Mexico) before Wesley and I run out the door to run errands.

No idea what "Aqua Team Hunger Force" is but they have some moderately amusing stuff on the christmas stations this year.

Grrr. Note to self: Google then Twitter, not the other way around. When will I ever learn?

@don_rivers pretty much, yeah.

I’m in such a good mood today, I don’t even mind being at Walmart!

Ok, I wasn’t minding being at Walmart until I hit the checkout line. (And I think these are all hurriedly-trained new cashiers.)

I think it all finally arrived. Only four presents left to wrap. Uh, and they’re all mine. And they’re all kinda’ big. Good year to be me?

I think poor Moogle has a little kitty cold. He’s been very tired and cranky last couple days and his eyes are all irritated.

So, if these calculations are correct, we have approximately 40.5 hours until we open our presents 🙂

I KNEW I shoulda’ had Wesley turn around during the "mommy’s little piggy" scene in A Christmas Story. He’s trying an oatmeal re-creation.

Can’t imagine why there were any cars on the road – everyone in town is obviously here at Walmart.

Trying VUDU with Edward Scissorhands (Netflix blu-ray of same arrived broke). VERY impressed – Full HD, 5.1, no buffering or other issues.

I have really come to love an auto 510 – mine usually has a big cartomizer of FSUSA’s bubble gum on it for when the mood strikes.

Holding my breath… RT @don_rivers: Both my land lines (work / home) just went out. Hmm.

But, my all day vape is a Boge cartomizer full of unflavored 18mg 100%vg (both TW’s and FSUSA’s are good) on my eGo/Tornado.

Someone needs to talk Plateau Espresso into hosting a ‘Vapers meetup’. Heck, if they’re nervous, we could have it on the patio.

(yeah, vapor is not smoke – no odor, no residue, so it’s technically legal anywhere, but it’s always nice to have the host’s blessing.)

(my mom lets us vape in the house and that wasn’t thought possible but she doesn’t smell a thing, it doesn’t settle in to fabric, nothing.)

Terra, Wesley, wrapping presents, watching Rudolph http://flic.kr/p/93B9nV

Tonight’s Christmas Movie: The Royal Tenenbaums. It gets in on technicality – it does take place during the season – there are subtle clues.

@CoffeeAdventure that’s why I have a plugin on my blog that stores all my tweets and posts a daily digest of them – I know they’re safe.

I’m losing my mind, tidying up Christmas details. If you could see my face, I’d say "This is what my losing-my-mind face looks like."

Frugal epicureans… Yeah, that’s us 😉 (and we put the ‘epic’ in ‘epicurean’!)

Watching The Family Stone with Terra. My fave Christmas movie the last couple years. I LOVE this movie and have refrained from it all year.

(yeah, it’s contrived, sappy, and a little heavy-handed, but the best Christmas movies often are!)

The casting in The Family Stone is flawless. The performances only miss perfection because of a few moments that may be my personal taste.

D’oh!! Terra’s parents’ gift = shipped but really don’t think it’ll make it there by Christmas 🙁 🙁 🙁

Off to Kmart for spn munchies and dinner from Brown Bag Deli. Watching Funny Farm tonight and Wesley gets a movie in his room 🙂

How is it possible that a kid Wesley’s size puts down a Sonic 1/4lb Footlong Coney Chili Cheese Dog that fast???

(especially as many times as he stopped to proclaim "Mmm, CHILI DOG!!")

The stockings are done 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/92PjfK

Next year, we should get Terra’s parents a PS3 for xmas so we can vid chat with them. They could be here via video next xmas morning 🙂

Drinking cream soda in champagne glasses, wrapping presents, watching the Christmas specials dvd box set thing we got at Kmart 🙂
