The Tao of Jersey

Or: What the hell is on the mind of that JerseyCam guy?

And has it ever. I have just been so busy lately what with work and the farm and my "real" life. What to say, what to say.

Well, over Christmas break, I had the beautiful and pleasant company of my lovely GF, Kari. It was an early and a GREAT x-mas present. The holidays were a mad whirl of traveling and running around and receiving, but more importantly, giving. Kari can't understand why I enjoy giving presents than receiving them. I am such a pain when it comes to opening presents. I'd just rather watch people open theirs. I take my dear sweet time. Kari didn't get much from me this year, as I am taking her somewhere special soon and that's where that money is going. I got some other gifts from her, including my new accessory of life, a 1 gig IPod Shuffle. Say what you will about your IPod, my IPod rocks. I finally have a soundtrack to life. I also discovered Podcasts. Especially Harry Potter podcasts. Another thing I have become a fan of is Wikipedia. I mostly listen to three podcasts. They are MuggleCast, PotterCast, and Distorted View. Distorted View is pretty interesting to say the least. It's very crude, and involves this guy, Tim Henson, reading weird news stories in addition to interviews and weird soundbites. They can all be found in the iTunes store under the podcast section, and cost nothing to subscribe to. iTunes can be set up to download them automatically, and when you synch up, they upload. When you listen to them, they get marked as listened to, and depending on your settings, will automatically be replaced by new episodes. The only problem was that my pod was scratching things in my pocket. So after many moons of checking online and searching the stores, I found a Shuffle Case case that was on sale and in a good color. I would have preferred black, but I got blue instead.

OK, enough about my Ipod and links to Wiki. The holiday season wasn't all fun. Kari and I got sick and were semi-miserable during the evening hours. Between her cough and my blowing my nose, we didn't rest much. It also cut into our romantic time. But while we weren't sick, it was pretty good. Especially the night I came home early and surprised her, and....... Ok, don't wanna get to lurid. I also finally had the bump on my head removed after about 20 years. It was quick and easy to get removed. Well, easy. While in the clinic waiting for the Dr., some lady decided to seize and all the people scrambled to help, so I was left in a little room to wait and worry.

Also during the break, we received a visit from Al. It went pretty well with him. Unfortunately, Kari decided my dog, Huck, was the canine equivalent of Hannibal Lecter, and I had to muzzle him when the two were together. Huck is a forgiving dog, so he was cool with it. While he was with us, Al ate almost every meal and we only had a problem with him his last day there. Luckily, Kari has a cool head, and was able to handle any crisis that came up.

OK, it amazes me how if I had written down an entry for every day, it would have taken like a hundred pages, yet this almost month in review will probably only take up a small amount of page-width. I must get back to work now. Talk to you all later.
