I always wanted to try that really trim goatee that Depp has in Ninth Gate.

Yes I realize the irony considering my lambasting of the overgrowth of goats in this country. A) That's why I haven't done it yet and B) "You know what difference between you and me is? I make this thing look good."

Ah, the goatee. The go to - hide your double chin - look for the larger male. Or is that the neck-beard?
 
Got my free iPad yesterday. Didn't realize they went all out on it, the damn thing is the 64Gb version with 3G service. (They also left the sticker price on it, $899...WTF!)

I'm just saying is all. A lot of heavier dudes tend to grow beards. It's all good. I think it's a good look.

I am so inexplicably happy today I don't know what to do with myself.
 
Spent the majority of the day with my wife. We went to see Tangled (which was absolutely wonderful), went out to get something to eat together, and then spent the night helping her glaze mugs she made for Christmas gifts.

It really was a great day.
 
I don't know if today was GREAT but I got things done. I bought a 500GB external HD, a cooling pad for my laptop, got a new SIM card that lets me call all over China for the same price, making calls to my girlfriend in Shanghai that much cheaper. I also just had some kickass bread and fried squid and the gift I had sent from home for Zhen Zhen arrived. Yay.
 
Yesterday was shitty involving work for reasons I won't get into, and necessitated buying a couple hundred dollars of new work clothes, money I hated to spend.

However, the people in Macy's were incredibly good to us. I don't mean nice, and I certainly don't mean that fake smile, "I hate this job" hollow pretend cheer. I mean genuinely helpful and charitable to us when they didn't have to be, even one who was walking out the door, a woman I didn't even know was an employee because it was the end of her day and she still helped us with a theft protection bead that hadn't been removed. Honestly, it helped me get over the pissy feeling I'd been having, and made me want to brighten someone else, and I took DreamGoddess out to dinner after.

What did you finally end up getting her?
 
I figure I'm not going to say who it is. The person changed to another profile for a reason. I figure everyone deserves one rebirth. What they do with that rebirth is completely up to them.

I ended up going the necklace route.

I'm also thinking of treating her to a nice dinner at a 5-star hotel in Shanghai. Those hotels sure put on some great holiday dinners, and the atmosphere is just wonderful.

And romantic.

I've been trying to find a new job since before I moved to this one. I took this one because the way the academic game is played, if you leave, you're kind of out for good. I just not only got a callback (to put it in perspective, there were a total of 3 jobs in desirable locations in my specialty this year), but got a callback at one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country.

I just finished my first final. Did I pass? I have no goddamn clue. But at least I lived to final another day.

If you can hear out of your bad ear now.. does that mean youve never been born?

Oreos taste good.
WHAT! (/LilJohn) Try the Christmas ones, with the red icing. They taste exactly the same, but red. This is wisdom handed to me by my wife, who knows all when it comes to cookies. *grins*[/QUOTE]

They taste slightly more like Christmas cheer than the others. The regulars taste like normal cheer. And I can get that mess year round. Time for the primo shit.

I don't think we have those, NR, but they sound very good. I like the mint ones. :)
 
I may... or may not... have consumed an entire package of them the other day....

To be fair, that was just about the ONLY thing I ate that day, but still!

Oh, child. They're my weakness too. If I don't pay attention, I can eat half a sleeve of the damn things. I might have done that tonight, followed by an hour of guiltily trudging along on the elliptical machine.
