Penny Arcade and Christmas giving.....

If anyone knows of Penny Arcade, you probably know that the guys created a charity called Child's Play a few years ago.

Well, Children's Hospital has finally gotten in on it. Here's a link to their wish list:

Check it out. :)

Just in case anyone was interested in donating their body for Plastination...

I really want to go see an exhibit. I apparently missed the one in Toronto. (Actually saw the poster for it while in NYC) Maybe I'll hit up the one in Chicago that's coming up. ROAD TRIP!

I would do that. I think. But they already have 7000 people waiting to donate. (at least I think that's what a living body donor means).

Walking in a Winter Wonderland?

After reading of (e:theecarey) 's terrifying mid-November Christmas music run-in, I thought I would post in regards to my own unavoidable Christmas horror.

I walked into work on Friday evening to find "The Blondes" (2 girls i work with) had spent the entire day listening to Christmas music and over decorating our office. (We have a bi-national office consisting of 5 Americans and 2 Canadians...Canadians have already had their Thanksgiving.)

There was a small decorated Christmas tree twinkling away and windows sprayed with fake snow, but most notably, our ENTIRE wall of windows had been defiled with a snowy scene of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer (and Rudolph) prancing across it.

I'm sure you could imagine my horror and disdain.

Fast forward to this evening. I'm working my beloved midnight shifts this weekend, and after spending an hour or so alone with the window scene I decided it needed some improving. (Seeing as us Americans haven't even gotten to our Thanksgiving yet.)

After a quick clip art search this is what I came up with:

Before (partial wall taken with my camera phone...sorry for the crappy quality)

And after I got to it.....

(Reindeer Turkey)

Now I will sit back and see if anyone notices. :)

Voting!

Hope everyone got off their buns and voted yesterday!! I had to go to traffic court and had to drive right past the polling place, so I had no excuse! :)

Glad I did, though! At least I feel like my vote counted for something this time around. :)

Hi Dana!
I haven't logged in to this site in about nine years so I just saw your hello. ;-)

How are you?

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

I was awakened this morning by Steve walking in the bedroom saying, "I bring you tales of chaos and destruction for your birthday!" (he made it up to Kenmore this morning, only to find that the plant had no power, so he came home.)

Okay, off to me mums for pizza and cake. Yay.

I'm still frozen from our walk/sit down by the river. My lungs have been well aired out.
