Merry Christmas, Unless You Don't Celebrate Christmas, In Which Case, Nevermind
- Ho ho ho.
I'm not a hardcore Christmas following, but I assume most of you are. So to all the awesome Christmas-celebrating readers out there...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I hope you find a cake at least half as awesome as the one above. Read more about it in this ancient entry from 2005. The cake comes from Fay Da Bakery in Chinatown—who else would put two Santa figurines on one Yule log, along with other mismatched pieces of holiday flora? (Actually, it's a Euro log, not a Yule log. Fay Da is breaking down all barriers of tradition!)
Today I'm eating a home cooked dinner with my mom and brother. Christmas is an excuse to hang out with my family, which is probably a good thing, even if I'm still on my computer half of the time. I was so unaware of the coming of Christmas and the whole "giving gifts" thing with my head wrapped up in work and moving that I'll probably end up surprising everyone with random gifts in February.

Hope you had a lovely relaxing Xmas Day!
I totally sympathise with the 'too much stuff going on, forgot about xmas and presents' ... there will be xmas gifts, just not... yet. And I was also at my computer most of the day ^_^;
SuperChomp: I did have a relaxing day. :D Ate food, went on the interwubs, and played Rock Band with my brother. WOOHOO HOLIDAY SPIRIT.
Morten: HAHA, not sure if the Chinese version tastes the sake as the weegie one.. ;) Hey YOU SHOULD VISIT HERE AND FIND OUT.

Help out roboppy?
If you do want to help me out monetarily, here are some easy non-obtrusive ways to give back:
- Buy stuff through my amazon ID!
: This is the BEST WAY to help me out without throwing money at my feet. I buy most of my material goods from amazon.com, and it would help me shittons if you bought stuff through my link. I don't get much per order, but the referral fees can add up.
- buy t-shirts through my Threadless Street Team thinger!
- Get webhosting with Dreamhost.com and enter roboppy@gmail.com as the referral
You need stuff from amazon.com and you should buy t-shirts from threadless (I've been somewhat loyal to them for the past five years). Thank you for making sure I don't resort to pan-handling and robbery!
