when i become really depressed this time of year, i like to unwrap a christmas present and play with it; problem is, the only presents laying around is stuff i bought for other people.
Sounds like a good idea. We are awash with birthdays and anniversaries in December as well so there’s a lot of depression antidotes around this month
...yeah, mine is the day after the world is scheduled to end.
...and it’s not even a Megabucks Lotto draw day.
Another Maggi Saggi yay! National Geo channel is running a survival guide to Mayan Apocalypse on the 21st. We are a day ahead, I’ll let you know how it all went. I start a new job the day after my birthday in January, don’t know whether that’s good or bad
