This past Noel was whiter than any I can remember. There wasn’t any snow on the ground unfortunately, but in a gradual and hysterical progression, my relatives are getting whiter. This year, they exchanged gifts of North Face outerwear, tennis rackets and iPads. When I arrived, Rihanna was playing on the iHome and close to midnight, everyone gathered in the living room to watch The Blind Side.
Now, for me this break was a chance to do a couple of things. The first week was spent working a couple hours a day at work cleaning up the place. The rest of the break, I focused on getting really fat. I lost a lot of weight from binging on cramming. Cue Pierogies…
The second week was spent upgrading Ubuntu distros. The third week was spent downgrading Ubuntu distros and fending off sharks. Now I’ll never upgrade again.
