Hmmmm...

Project HAL's on pause again; minor oversight on my part. Namely, the fact that I had the entirety of Season 1 ready to use...but some of the video uses footage from Season 2. Which I did NOT have ready to go....so yeah, that's working itself out right now.2 glitched videos and one more power outage (seriously, WTF?!) later, that's all done. Giving Sczer the rest of the evening off; I'll start on HAL sometime this week.

In the meantime, after coming downstairs this morning, I noticed my folks had decided to spend the morning wrapping Christmas gifts. Makes the house look VERY festive and primed for the holidays...but it does give that feeling of wanting to peek inside rather badly.

It's even worse when I take 3 factors into consideration:
1) I leave for work after they do.
2) I return home from work before them.
3) One of my job skills is being able to determine what is inside something via X-ray.


To say it's not tempting would be a complete load of BS.

On the 5th day of Christmas, my family gave to me....OOOOONE BIIG DILEMMAAAAAAAAA....

o_O? I always thought the 12 Days thing ended on Christmas rather than started..

In either case, though, the verse for the -2nd & -14th days just don't have the right melody for that.

Uh, not so much, no. They start on Christmas and end on Epiphany, or the day before Epiphany... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Days_of_Christmas

Huh. Well, that's a learning experience for me, then! Danke.
