Merry Christmas, everybody!

Well, today is Christmas and I'm blogging on time. Who knew I had it in me?

December's a wierd month for me. I hate most of it, because I hate Christmas Carols and all the shopping propaganda. Then "Christmas" comes around on the 23rd or so (my family celebrates early so everyone's schedules work out) and I remember that I actually do like this holiday.

Every year since I moved out I've watched Clerks II on Christmas (real Christmas, not early Christmas), and I intend to keep the tradition going. Visit some old friends for dinner. Don't know what else I'm going to do, but it should be fun.

And I hope whatever you do today is also fun. Merry Christmas, from YNTE.

Bear is Going Back to Driver's Ed

So I was on my way to work this afternoon, and to my right what do I see? A tree, but with an added bonus. A car. I don't know how they managed to drive over the left lane and into this tree, but I can only assume that a bear must have been driving.

It's somebody's birthday!

And according to the candles, Matt is turning 1!

Madness? THIS IS KETCHUP!

Taken with Umi's crappy camera phone at the South Hill Arby's.

I've arrived.

That's right, as of today, I'm important enough to have a name plate outside my cube.

Also, this is YNTE's 100th post, which makes it eligible for syndication. Hooray!

Achievement Unlocked.

Earlier today when I posted that I would be hitting 10k "soon", I was still 160 points away. I knew I could get 160 points in a few days. I had no idea it would only take hours.

10k is a HUGE deal for me, way bigger than it should be, but whatev. Point is, I set a goal, I buckled down, and I saw it to completion, which is rare for me. Sure the goal involved playing a lot of video games, but still.

Anyway, thanks to anyone who helped me get here. I did it.

Video Time Part 2: Flight of the Conchords

Flight of the Chonchords are hilarious. Check out their comedy specials or their HBO TV series from which the following clip was pulled. At the very least, youtube "The Humans Are Dead". You'll be glad you did.
