Westward Leading, Done Proceeding

January 7, 2007

And now, with the Twelve Days of Christmas through as well as Epiphany, the 2006 Christmas season is over.

Well, it was fun, right? Good presents? Good food? Good times?

Aww. Time to take down the decorations. Always a disappointment. You get used to everything looking so pretty and festive, then you have to take it down and everything looks bland. Oh, well.

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heaven replies

O…
Star of wonder, Star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.

*takes down lights*

Big Puzzle

January 5, 2007

OMG! OMG! OMG!!! Awesome! 😀

So today at work, instead of working on stuff I probably should have been working on, I did what I do every day. I went to one of my favorite sites and did the daily puzzles there. It’s BrainBashers.com if you want to check it out. Brain teasers. Illusions. Puzzles. Other similar crap. In other words, totally my kind of place! The Fun Stuff section kicks all kinds of ass.

L-L-Lay Off D-D-Dubya

January 3, 2007

Now for a political, oral version of…

SHUT THE HELL UP!

Okay, believe it or not, I’m actually about to defend the president, George W. Bush. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t vote for him. I’m not for this “war” or the Patriot Act or for really any of his policies for that matter, although chances are there might be some here and there I might agree with, but not nearly enough for my support.

So, enough of the part where I tell the liberals to get back in their seats and extinguish their torches, time for some pwning.

Don’t Watch It

January 1, 2007

First off, Happy New Year! This is the very first entry of 2007. Huzzah!

Anyway, back to it.

You know what I’m sick of? American Idol. I keep hearing ads that its new season is starting up soon. Oh, my, I’m wetting myself with joy. Not. Of course, I’m not alone in this sentiment. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that American Idol, as well as the plethora of similar shows tainting what could be somewhat decent network airways, is about as interesting and intellectually stimulating as a wet ball of brown paper towels. No, scratch that. The wet paper towels can be interesting sometimes.

Stroke of Midnight

December 31, 2006

And now, for an annual, champagne-soaked edition of…

YOU SUCK!

So today is New Year’s Eve. It is the night people around the world watch the clock and when it strikes midnight, they cheer, get drunk, and try to sing Auld Lang Syne. Well, except for some people. People who irritate me to no end. So who sucks today? People who don’t stay up until midnight tonight.

And they get all cocky about it. “Oh, I didn’t want to do that. I was tired. I don’t need to do that. I’m better than you.” Whatever, loser.

So stay up tonight and watch the clock strike twelve. I command you! :doitnow:

On another note, I did it! I have made an entry every day of December now, as I promised. Thank God for Christmas. It has lots of stuff worth an entry. If I were trying to do this in like September or something, it would be much harder. Now I’m worried I won’t have much to rant about next December. Shouldn’t worry, though. There’s always something.

Oh, and go, Detroit Lions, for humiliating the Dallas Cowboys at home today. 😀

Coffee Please?

December 29, 2006

Now for a caffeinated, customer service lacking edition of…

YOU SUCK!

Office Depot. They seriously suck.

So, at work, we’ve got this little single serve coffee machine with a bunch of little cups of coffee and tea that go into it. This one company supplied it for us, and, honestly, their service sucked ass. As does the coffee itself, but it’s all we’ve got. They got orders wrong. Orders got delayed. Major mess.

So then they get bought out by Office Depot.

And, if you can believe it, they are even WORSE!

One Year

December 28, 2006

Now for a celebratory session of…

Here’s to You!

So I raise my glass and say, “Here’s to you, Eight Mine Fortress!”

That’s right, folks. Today the Fortress is one year old! Began with Sure, Why Not? entry This Is Eight Mine Fortress, Miscellaneous short story Crisis in the Pool, NYRA Tales song parody 88 Lines about 44 NYRA Forums Members, and Goodies Reposted list Top 10 List: Computer. And from there it went. Crowd pleasing. Pissing off self-righteous idiots. Opening Eights. Raising my glass in a toast to stuff that is awesome. Calling out stuff that sucks for how much it sucks. Sacred decrees. Chasing buses. All kinds of good shit.

So hang on tight. You’re in for another year. 😀

Not Over Yet

December 27, 2006

I hereby decree…

Christmas is not over!

Damn, you people are so quick to put all the ornaments and lights away. Just because you’ve already opened your presents and gotten sloshed on egg nog doesn’t mean it’s all finished and time to pack it up. Hell no. There’s another week and a half left. Really, its only purpose is leaving the decorations up, but, hell, why not?

It’s still Christmas until January 6, folks. I’m sure you’ve heard the classic carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas” a lot and wondered to yourself “what twelve days are they talking about?” Well, I’ll tell you what twelve days. It runs from December 25 to January 5. And January 6 is Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day.

So, our decorations are STILL up. I’m STILL wearing my Santa Claus pin. Our tree is STILL lit. You are STILL a moron. That clear? Good.

Feast of Stephen

December 26, 2006

Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen…

And all the other days it is. Boxing Day, too.

Not sure what these days are exactly. I’ll wander over to Wikipedia eventually and look. Meh.

Oh, let’s not forget good old Kwanzaa. Heard of it for years and I must repeat the question of that book on Futurama.

What the hell is Kwanzaa?

Yawn. Second Day of Christmas. Boring day, but still didn’t have to go to work. Coming down from the joy and excitement of the holiday. Oh, well. Still have “get drunk and stare at the clock” night coming up. 😉
