Leavez

This is the end of my first official day of leave -- I'm off until January 5th. I had my office Christmas Party on Friday, and after the cigars, booze and general lack of sleep, I needed most of the weekend to recover from it. While dozing in and out of sleep on the couch, I caught up on episodes of 30 Rock, season 2 of Californication, and re-runs of Arrested Development.

(Three of my favourite American comedies right there... As an aside, Californication keeps impressing me with it's writing, but I wonder if the quality can be sustained for a third season with the upcoming changes in plot.)

Christmas just creeps up on you. I can't believe it's on Thursday. I have a number of bits and pieces around the house I need to get done before V gets back from her trip to NZ. Today was a write-off due to my debilitating sports addiction (NFL), but I did get some washing and shopping done. The good news is, after the last three days, I think I've got "lying on the couch watching TV" out of my system for a little while.

As they say where Bernard lives, "Happy Holidays!"
