Ah, tis the season! Well, almost anyway. Yeah, I know it's not even November yet, but my company is already planning the big Christmas, er, I mean holiday party. They are offering a 4 hour hot and cold buffet, open bar and a DJ. All I have to do is cough up $60. That makes me feel very festive. When I go out to eat with friends, and have a good time, I don't spend $60, and I am certainly spared boring little speeches, which are bound to take place at any company event. I think I'll save my $60. If I want to have a good time with some of my colleagues, I'll do it on my own, thanks.

I almost think if they are going to charge for the event, they shouldn't even bother. It seems extra tacky.

For those keeping score, I did miss going to the gym last night, but for two good reasons. Tonight it's on the agenda.

Finished John Irving's A Widow for One Year, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It reminded me how much I enjoy good fiction. It felt weird to be without a book to read, so I made a point to pick up another novel. Sticking with what works, I got The Water-Method Man, another Irving book. So, I armor myself further against the world with my headphones and a book during my commute.

No clanning, and a wee bit of progress with some CGI coding. I'm hoping to do more coding tonight, after working out, of course. Unless clanning distracts me.
