Christmas in July

| 1 Comment

Ninisi and Phlome hosted a Christmas in July party this weekend. There was a Turkey dinner, with way more sides tha anyone could possibly eat and a "dirty-santa" gift exchange. For those tha have not done this, you start by drawing numbers and then on your turn you could either unwrap a new gift or steal one that had been opened already. This was possbiley the geekiest gift exchange ever. Two sets of magic cards, star wars figures, and a He-Man DVD were the hot items of contention. I got to keep my intial gift of STD plushies. Plush Cthulhu now has new minions.

Saturday, Tigger and I went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It's a very cool place. It's more like a mini-zoo than an aquarium. They had monkleys, birds, and a jaguar along with all kinds of fish. Including those cool "sea dragons" that look like seaweed.

On a sad note, My personal Aquarium is not doing so good. I've had 2 sets of algae eaters die, so yesterday I did a very thorough cleaning of the tank. Unfortunately, something was too much of a shock for my two gourami's that I've had for a while. They were both dead this morning oh and the loach, that I thought has died before, but was wrong, is now offcially dead. He was nowhere to be found I cleaned out the tank.

Tigger? (I know who this is, just didn't know there was a pet name as such involved ;P)

Time to turn that spot of the house back into a bar?

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
