Aftermath

So it's the day after Christmas and as the dust settles it's time to just sit back and relax and revel in the fact that I have 2 days before I have to go back to work. It will be a short week. I'm off on Monday and on Friday. I suppose I can suffer through 3 days in Azkaban, especially since a lot of the Dementors will still be out of town this week... Christmas was good. Fairly low-key. I adore my new sister-in-law and had a good time hanging out with her the past couple of days. My niece is 6, so come the holidays, it's pretty much all about her, which is honestly fine by me. It keeps me from having to answer questions about when I'm getting married, having kids, yada yada yada... I did order my new computer from AlienWare. (No big surprise there. We all knew I was going to cave and do it. Merry Christmas to me!) I added some serious upgrades to the basic model that they have and this puppy is going to fucking scream. I should be set for any game I want to play for a good long while... I also snapped myself out of the stupid funk I slipped into on Thursday afternoon. Actually, a friend of mine inadvertently snapped me out of it. I called him to whine and although I think he was kinda annoyed with me he still said some helpful things. I don't think he did it intenetionally, but what he said made sense and just sorta put my mind at ease about some stuff. I guess when I get like that I just need someone to slap me and tell me to chill the fuck out... So, that's it. Nothing too exciting, just felt that I needed to post something today. I'll do my 2004 Top Movies list later in the week. I still have a couple of big releases I need to catch before I can post my definitive list for the year. Maybe I'll put up some New Year's resolutions or something too. I guess we'll see how the week goes. I don't have any good Christmas quotes that I can find at the moment, so I'll post one of my favs about friendship:
