The Northeast is colder than Mars

It's been absolutely frigid here in the Northeast for the past few days. This morning saw the mercury dip to negative numbers (in Fahrenheit, not Celsius). It's actually so cold that the windshield wiper fluid sprayers on my car have frozen up and won't spray. According to Cornell it's warmer on Mars (at least when the sun's up on Mars). The forecast is for it to warm up slightly tomorrow (it'll only be 20F) and then there'll be snow on Sunday for the Pats big game. Hopefully it'll be enough to cool off Peyton Manning.

Dave will be flying into Manchester tonight. Poor guy is leaving sunny California to come to the second Ice Age. We'll be going down to Boston tonight for Shane's birthday party and then go to Genericon tomorrow. On Sunday, we'll get the entirety of the couch crew up to Nashua for a little reunion and fun (finally get to play some 4 player Double Dash). It should be good times.

Time to rededicate myself

Now that the holidays have long since been over, I have no more excuses, it's time to get back to the good habits I developed last year. I did not make any New Year's resolutions this year because I'm still working on the ones I made from last year. My weight is the lowest it's been my entire adult life (I'm pretty sure I haven't been this thin since middle school). I'm far more social than I've been in the past. I've been reasonably good about my finances (overall I think I'm at about the same level of debt that I had last year, but 90% is now on far lower interest rates so I should be able to knock it down faster). Over the holidays I managed to not put on any weight, which was a good thing. I didn't go crazy buying gifts for myself or anyone else (as I pointed out, I even hand made one gift).

I also need to get back to posting here. I finally got around to going through the back log I had in the Netflix Log, now it's just a matter of maintaining a regular posting schedule. I'm still trying to find a good time to do a daily post. I think it'll end up being the morning. I'll just add updating the blog to my normal morning routine when I get into work.

Daft Punk Delight

Thanks to Jake from 8bitJoystick, I discovered that Daft Punk had released the collection of videos for the album "Discovery" that Leiji Matsumoto produced. The DVD is entitled Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem . I absolutely loved the videos that were released on the music channels, but was always a little irked that they had stopped at "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". I am now very happy, because I placed an order at BestBuy.com and if what they're on-line ordering system tells me is true, I should be able to pick it up on my way home. God bless the internet.
