Oh my friggin gawd. I just spent hours and hours trying to get my gallery working. MySql hell. Every time I thought it was working, something new came up and kicked me in the nuts. A couple of times I had to lie down on the floor and stare into the ceiling and try not to cry. Because I’m a sissy like that. But I think I got it working now. I’m sure the lord will strike me down for thinking so. Or at least make it not work again. Maybe my computer will explode.

I would just like to thank my dear webhost for chosing to move datacenters within a 10 day period during the holidays. That was a smart move. Well, to his credit he spent a good deal of time trying to help me. And he did help me with some of it. Although the final suggestion of “reinstall the CMS and re-import the data” was not so helpful. Anyway, it looks like I made it. Fingers crossed.

The other thing I have spent a fair deal of time on today is my new Lost season 4 box. I’m going to go spend some more time with it now. I love that show to bits and pieces. And there is less than a month to the season 5 premiere! That’s almost worth staying alive for. That and cake. oh wait. Oh well. Oh whatever.

I hope the holidays have been good to you guys.

So there it was, merry christmas. All done for this year. At least round these parts.

It was a nice, little evening. With my brother and parents. A nice dinner and chitchat about how things are going. Diabetes and MasterCard and lambs and eyesight. I even got the almond in the ris-a-la-mande. In my second mouthful. Normally that would mean I won a prize. But my dad forgot to buy one. Usually the prize is chocolate , so that wouldn’t have been good anyway. But he promised to get me some sugarfree cookies. Apparently there is a cookie shop downtown. Their sugarfree cookies are quite nice. I wonder if the cookie monster shops in the cookie shop? Or maybe since he’s a monster he just barges in and takes what he wants. I don’t know. I just like the idea of a whole shop dedicated to cookies. Maybe it is next door to the liquorice shop and the lollypop shop. On Candy Boulevard in my high dreams.

What loot did I get this year, you might inquire? I got myself Lost season 4. The Don Rosa Hall of Fame number 7. And two 5kg handweights. All things I had wished for, so I’m quite happy with that. Although the Don Rosa book hadn’t arrived yet, so I’ll have to wait for that to come. I’ll also be getting a magnifying glass with light, you can put it on your head and read when you’re almost as blind as I almost am. So that will be nice. And the weights are for building up a little arm muscle strength, now that I’m working on the legs so much. I feel pretty strong in the arms, and when they measured it at the hospital there weren’t any problems either, but sometimes I sort of feel like the muscle gives out… if you know what I mean? The biceps, I guess it’s called? I noticed it when reading it bed and reaching out for my cup of soup drink (in winter) or cold soda (in summer, before diabetes). When my arm was at a certain angle I could barely lift the cup. So I don’t know. But I figure it can’t hurt to work on them muscles a little. I am aiming to become Mr Fitness 2009. Watch out Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Now, as a special christmas present for you guys, here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3CFytdJ0_U. Okay, to be honest it’s just more of the lambs. More of the same. But cute! There is a lamb practically kissing the camera. And nibbling at my cap. And drinking milk from mama, that little tail whirring like a motorboat. They are so sweet. You’ll get to see why my pants were so muddy too.

All in all it’s been a good, little christmas. I won’t complain. So once again, merry christmas to you all. I hope it’s been good for you too or that it will be good, depending on when you read this. You are the best presents a Plume could ask for.
