Share on Facebook 2007-12-18: Christmas 2007: Back to Freddy Beach.

So I'm leaving in about 45 mins to fly back to Fredericton for the holidays. It should be sweet. Here is a very funny and clever advertisement that involves, in some ways, both holidays and flying: Clio Award Grand Winner for Print?. Whatever it is, it's funny. Lots to see there. Do it.

Not much else is new. I had a great girlfriend and then she dumped me, you know, which is unfortunate. So that was a nice time while it lasted, anyway. I had pretty reasonable expectation of a Relationship Lifetime (LR) > 6 weeks, but you know how it is. Sometimes LR isn't the nice easily understood variable we all think it is. Like pi, LR can circle around like a vicious mongoose, and bite you right in the cobra gonads.

But I got sidetracked. Indeed I will be home for the Holidays! Super cheery holidays, during which time I will stuff the stocking that is my broken heart with small trinkets of distracting content, like Halo 3, building snow forts with my sister, and giving large quantities of hugs to Matthew Jardine. I will eat and be merry, or as merry as one can be when one has been rejected like so many donuts at the end of the "freshness deadline" at Tim Horton's:

"What do you mean these donuts are no good anymore!? They're brand new! How could they already be stale!?"
"They're 2 hours old. They just don't have what it takes to make things work out in the long term."
"These donuts were always honest about their freshness. They were as tasty and sweet as they could be. They had their doubts, too, about the future, you know, but they only wanted to make someone happy."
"I am sad too, about getting rid of the donuts. I care about them a lot." (Dumps out donuts)

Here's something from Sparky: The Official God FAQ

And here's a hilarious headline from Fark: "Video of a cat in zero-gravity: where research, animal cruelty, and comedy gold merge as one."

Ok, I'm gonna go do a last round of the house and make sure I didn't forget anything. See you all over the holidays. Email me your phone number and hopefully we can hang out.

Merry Mitchmas.

because he bought me a kick ass Lamborghini calendar that has pretty pictures of super rad cars. I hope the Hammer was good to you. And say hi to the family for me!

Why does your site place my comment in some random place in the list of comments? You're doin' it wrong!

Because there is nothing quite like a broken heart at xmas. - Bronwen, 2007-12-19, 15:16:31

Some people just don't know a good donut when they see one. BTW - That was the most hilarious metaphor for a relationship I have heard in ages. If it makes you feel any better, I'm having a full orphan xmas this year.. with my work mates. Boo.
