Mid-holiday report #1

1. Bonnie and I got Borderlands on December 19. We've played it way too much! It's a rockin' game. Its only fault is bad online multiplayer functionality. It works flawlessly over the LAN. Internet multiplayer doesn't work for one player without tons of port forwarding, and doesn't work at all for two players behind a router. Gamespy can bite me. But enough with the negativity! Back to Merry Blowing Stuff Up.

2. We went to dinner chez M. & Y. on December 23. It was great! Y. made Japanese food . . . lots of Japanese food. Y. is Japanese, so this means "food that people actually eat in Japan" as opposed to "food similar to what Japanese restaurants sell in North America." This was a nice change from tons of Christmas cooking.

3. We returned the favor tonight, and had M. & Y. over for our Christmas Eve dinner. This is an annual tradition for us: a buffet-style meal with figgy pud for dessert, served alongside tasty beverages. Before dinner, we all made gingerbread critters: people, animals, . . . and zombies. Christmas zombie has lots of gory red icing, a leg off, and little sugar-sprinkle buckshot wounds.

Merry Christmas, all!
