That poor guinea pig! Is he hiding from you?

Evanski. No he's not hiding. He's getting fat at the mo. He keeps on eating and i'll keep on giving him the food. he's a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. I love to see him eat.A thousand chews he makes. Instead of eating him I'm gonna use him as the baby in the crib for the christmas story.

It's nice being on vacation, and spending time with my family.

Yesterday one of my sisters, my dad, and I went and watched Tron. It was pretty cool. I wish I remembered the original better. I guess I'll have to wait for them to be paired and marketed together.

Last night my dad took me out to one of his regular poker tournament places. In the past neither of us has done stellar in these tournaments when I've been out for Christmas. I outlasted my dad in both tournaments, and in the second one I was the second to last man standing. I don't know that I've ever accomplished that in real life before.

A little backstory on playing poker. One Christmas...back when we'd meet in Southern California at my Uncle's house, we took a drive out to Laughlin, NV to visit my grandfather and uncle. While there my dad and I played Texas Hold 'Em at the casino. He didn't do too well, but I did. I came home thinking I could be a poker player. I then lost a bunch of money testing this theory at different card rooms in my area. I kind of got over poker. Meanwhile, my dad's taken it up as a hobby he's had ever since. I'm sitting at his home computer right now, and there's a book called The Illustrated Guide To No-Limit Texas Hold'Em.

I'm pleased to say that all of my gifts have come in on time. The umbrella I ordered for my sister came in a ridiculously over-sized box, but then I didn't have anything better to wrap it in, so that gift looks huge. The fabric I designed looks good. I wanted to inspect the flamingo, but it was so well wrapped I thought I'd just let my mom remove all it's packaging.

Well, my mom just got home from work (It's 1:37 pm), so I'll leave you guys for now.

Now I've just got to judge that critical point where it is safe to drag out the presents!!!

Have a lovely Christmas Day all.
