My Big Fat Geek Christmas

My Big Fat Geek Christmas
I am an official member of the the Land of WAN. With my new Airport Base Station (and card) I can blog, game and surf work and be more productive - untethered by traditional confines. Now when my geek friends come to visit us in our geek house we can geek out far and wide or a least within 150ft of my office. We have to lay down one safety rule though - no laptops in the pool. While the concept of a floating desk was cool for a minute - it's a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

As if my new wireless lifestyle wasn't too much, I also have enough NYT Crossword books to get me through the next year or a least through March. And 3 new DVD's: LOTR, Spiderman and Eddie Izzard.

The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends
The past week has been a total whirlwind of cocktails, food, parties, presents, food, golfing, movies and food. Did I mention food? Fuck, I've gained 10lbs since Thanksgiving but I've fairly certain that half of that is my swollen liver. So I've joined the new World Gym (set to open mid January) and once it opens, I vow to shed at least 20 lbs and get back into shape. But the gym ain't open yet, and I'm no quitter - so this afternoon it's another movie, Gangs of New York, and more drinks, dinner and mayhem with the boys afterwards. That's the problem when you live in a popular vacation destination. Everyone here is on vacation! So I've unofficially given myself the week off to play and party hard. So far so good!
