Happy Festivus!

This post may be a long one. I finally found some time to update this blog. The holidays have just been flying by. I had wanted to go out of town this holidays but that didn't happen. That is okay as I have spent time with family and friends. Who couldn't ask for a better Christmas than that? So here are the updates in no particular order:

Postcrossing:

Postcrossing is humming right along. (I have to throw a plug in again. Visit www.postcrossing.com) 8 have been sent to other countries and registered and I have recieved 3. 5 are in transit right now. I want to give a big shout out to the people that have been visting my blog that are postcrossing members. Thank you. 

I find though sometimes I'm in a rush sending out the postcards. I end up slapping together a postcard as fast as possible just to fire it out. I want to be more creative with my cards. Maybe that can be a New Years Resolution.

Christmas:

I couldn't ask for a better holiday! I have good health and so does my family. That alone means a lot. And the holidays just flew by. I got a GPS for Christmas. The first use of it:  Finding a Burger King in Orillia. Classic all the way. And it happened to be the Whopper Wednesday! Another Festivus miracle! Which leads me into my next entry 

Festivus:

If anyone knows me they will know one thing : I love Seinfeld! So I was updating my Facebook account and I did not want to be the guy with the generic holdiay greetings like everyone else. So I was thinking of what to say and it came to me: Festivus! So happy Festivus everyone! And what are my Festivus miracles? I have a GPS, (Miracle!) a cell phone finally (Miracle again!) and I guess that is all for the Festivus miracles for now. Oh wait - I won $450 on a hand of Missisipi Stud at a casino (Miracle!) Unfortunately Festivus came and went before I could celebrate it (Dec 23) but in spirit I have been celebrating it all this week.

Leisure Time:

I have been off this week  so I have some leisure time in my life. Bascially I'm still on the Left 4 Dead grind (I'm playing LFD 1 and 2) and I had downloaded the X-Men arcade game through X-Box live. My buddy and I beat it in one sitting right away though. It was still good for a trip down memory lane.

I watched the new Tron Legacy and True Grit at the cinema. And I plan on watching the original Tron at home again. It has been a long time since I seen the original . I was happy with the new Tron Legacy. They didn't cater to today's attention deficient society and avoiding cramming it with non-stop action and explosions. As I stepped out of the cinema commenting on that my buddy said that was his complaint about the movie - too much back story and not enough action. Go fiqure.

So much for a huge blog entry. I'm sitting in a coffee house ( the only one because I don't count Tim Hortons) and I'm trying to journal, blog and surf the net. Classic. Somehow the blogging and journalling got lost in the shuffle.

Alright. Happy Festivus! Happy Postcrossing!
