We went to my aunts house for Christmas eve. The kids were so excited
about Santa Claus. I think it was the first year that none of them
were scared of him.

Nonna's bandaidCategory: family
Last night I somehow cut the top of my toe. It was one of those really painful cuts where the top layer of skin is sliced off but not enough to bleed so there is no scab.
So today I was dreading the walk to work because we were out of bandaids. Then I found this leftover box of bandaids from nonna's medicine cabinet with one little mini bandaid in it. It fit
perfectly, kind of like she left it for this occasion. Okay, that's cheesy but I smiled on the way to work thinking about it.

You know, that is the FIRST thing I thought about looking at this picture. I was all "Wow, what an elegant looking bunch of toes". But then I thought, "Wow. sounds like I have a toe fetish", followed by "That is so cool, Paul is stepping on some snobby designer thresholds - you know, like a modern godzilla with a pedicure. Oh, what a culture statement". Finally, I read your post, and I was all "Where is the bandaid" "Where is the bandaid". Spotted it and decided not to comment on all the deviance.
But hey, I can only be quiet that long. LOL

As simple as thatCategory: computers
After about 5+ years of using the command line every freakin day, like 80 hours a week I still find myself typing ks instead ls.
Today I decided to just deal with it once and for all.
ln -s /bin/ls ~/bin/ks
I wish I would have just admitted failure and done that before.

Har!
So is that just a consistent typo? Or does ks actually stand for something on some systems?

Is that a command for a keyboard re-mapping? I frequently remap my keyboards according to the common mistakes I make. (So I never really learn how to type well, because I am always cheating). But hey, its my party... I mean keyboard. I can k if I want to!

Estrip Holiday Dinner PartyCategory: estrip
The dinner party (e:matthew,47064) was a great success, especially considering our last minute planning. I ate enough pizza and drank enough wine for a week. I wish I had taken pictures but I couldn't find my phone. How lame is that and where (e:metalpeter) when you need him. I think it might be the first large event ever where no one took a picture. I will take a million at thew New Years Eve party to make up for it.
Highlights:
(e:matthew,47102)'s pretty christmas tree, I am sure he will post pics of it decorated
Seeing (e:carolinian)'s cute baby - too bad fern wasn't there to play
seeing (e:james)' muscular physique, god I am jealous
Watching (e:enknot) play video games
talking shop with (e:jason)
watching (e:james) and james my co-worker interact
listening to co-worker james talk about his sociology research
gossiping with robert and the other james
meeting (e:theli)
drinking a bunch bowl full of egg nog and whisky

Sorry (e:Paul) and other (e:peeps). When I got home I knew I had to take a shower since I was gross, I got a message from my mother that she was having people over for dinner around 6, so I thought I could eat there and have time to then come over take some pictures and Have some Pizza. Things got later then I thought. I can't say if I could have only done one, what one I would have chosen. There was one person at the little dinner that I haven't seen since I'm guessing a kid (teenager maybe not really sure). Glad everyone had a good time.

Hope it was a good time. There is something scary about him but I don't know what it is. It is kinda from a distance he isn't bad but kids get close and freak out sometimes, oh maybe it is because they know, he knows they were bad, HA. Not really sure what it is, good thing that no kids where freaking out.
