Christmas has come and gone. Mrs. splorp! received a nifty stained glass item , some gardening implements (gloves, kneepads, cultivator and trowel), a Pajamagram , 6 books (of course), a Canon camera (from her parents) witha 2GB memory card, Amy Brown branded steering wheel cover and car seat covers, and, of course, cash from relatives. I received a USB missile launcher, a USB Bluetooth adapter, a USB video capture tool, Guitar Hero III, gift cards for Fry's and cash, of course. (As always, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but that's a good start). As for Christmas day itself, I actually worked it (volunteered). The company I work for has 24/7 support, so SOMEBODY has to be there. I've been working about every other holiday, as extra pay comes with it. For Christmas, it was triple time. How could I pass that by? (;<

Someone at work has what I suspect may be the flu. They were kind enough to pass it along to me. Muscle aches, congestion, sore throat and a cough. <sarcasm>Yay.</sarcasm>

We had our office party on Friday night. There was alcohol, faux gambling and prizes. Mrs. splorp! and I won a dinner for two at Macaroni Grill.

As promised, I finally put up some pictures of the new apartment. It takes forever to get everything exactly how you want it, so it's going to be a while before all the pictures I want to take are uploaded. Hopefully, you'll get to see our "yard", too.

Below is Harley Quinn, our Green-Cheeked Conure


Harley Quinn in November 2005

To the left, you’ll see Drusilla,
the Vampire Parakeet, named after
a character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
because she bit like a vampire.
She passed away on 12/20/04.
