Been awhile since I've updated things here.  Spent most of the last two weeks fighting a cold, but still needing to go into work.  I took about a day and a half off, but that was it.  Tried to give blood last week, but I was still too sick for them.

Didn't do much christmas shopping - just couldn't get into it this year (again).  Amy and I didn't get each other anything - our presents this year are a new bedroom set and our trip to Vegas (which is also going to be our anniversary gift). 

Started playing World of Warcraft (Icecrown server - Night Elf Druid) - extremely addicting game, but also extremely good.

In addition to Warcraft, I bought myself some CDs - all from CD Baby, so I didn't have to worry about someone getting me one of them for christmas (I've had a bad habit of buying myself stuff from my Amazon list while people are shopping for me).  Definite winners this order are: Mondo Heptet, and more Clare Fader, plus several others that need a few more listens too before I make up my mind.

Amazon wishlists are good.  Mine kept me from getting any bad gifts from my mother.  Got all the rest of Christopher Moore's books (yay!)

Attended a cool wedding for some friends of ours - felt like an SCA event with Ernst officiating, John & Elizabet cooking the feast dinner, Brynn acting as hall steward, and Kelson and Geneviere in the audience.

Our DVD player has gone on the blink - no clue why.  JVC says to send it into a service center, but to do that I've got to find a copy of the receipt (if I still have it...)  Meanwhile we can't watch the rest of Alias Season 3.  With luck BestBuy can help with the receipt - we only bought it in November (their website says they can get us a copy).

I'm slowly working on the items on my To Do list.  Racked mead today, picked up furniture yesterday.  Will probably bottle the wines tomorrow.  Still have plenty of stuff to do over the rest of the week.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday.

Weeeelllll, Christmas isn't over until Three Kings Day, Jan 6, iirc.

Myself, I think it makes sense to slowly ramp down the Xmas music.

Understandable. My sister said her regular station went to all-xmas the day after Thanksgiving. Ewww.

If they'd wait until the start of Christmas to start with the music, it would be fine to continue it through 12th night. But they don't, alas.

What are you and that cat doing? :-)

The cat is protesting being a hat, of sorts.

On Best Buy

Yes, they can give you a copy of your receipt. i had to have one to exchange my nomad for service warranty. basically, they just gave me a new nomad. they may be able to do the same thing for you, if it's within their service contract. btw, for things like nomads, i went with the service plan. that way, if they wear out within the expiration date, it doesn't cost as much to replace it. Best Buy's plan, in that regards, is fairly good.

How old is it? They may be willing to work with you on this.
