I got a Guinness Gift Box! It rocks! And hence forth February the 14th is now Guinness Day. And it will be filled with dark liquid and much gambling. So it is decreed.

I eventually got a replacement cell phone to take over the broken rock I was using as a cell phone. It's just some
run-of-the-mill phone that will do what the old one did, albeit in a slightly different form factor, better reception, and shorter battery life. I like it just as much, but find I don't fawn over it like my old moto v635, which was during it's time, much more revolutionary than this new one. Still, the new one is a nice evolutionary step, and does address some major short comings of its predecessor
It has snowed a great deal over the last while, and while I'm not tired of winter, I am tired of walking around like a penguin. Great big puddles of dirty slush greet you at every intersection, daring you to jump over or around them, laughing at your futile attemps to avoid them as your shoes/pants/socks become soaked in what can only be described as pre-sewer sludge. Blah. A wonderful time to find out that your aging pair of waterproof shoes are no longer entitled to such certifications unless of course by waterproof you mean waterlogged.
