And by "this time of year," I mean, "when I'm drunk." How 'bout that eggnog, huh? Give it up, everyone! Woot!
But also, Christmas. I received this as an early Christmas present; what more could a girl want? Well, a video card that'd do it justice, for one. But there, let's not be nitpicky.
I'd like to tell you all about the gameplay, but I can't. I can't because mostly what I do with this game is load 'er up and then stare at the main menu while the theme plays. The theme is (and you will right-click and choose "Save As," or Pixy will kill you) this.
Nice stuff, no?
Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukah! Peace on earth, good will to men.
Want some eggnog?
Posted by Ilyka at December 10, 2005 02:18 AM in i don't know you tell meAre you back or just teasing us? I'd take either. Good to see you, Ilyka. Happy Holidays. No thanks on the eggnog. Can't stand the stuff.
Posted by: Rob at December 10, 2005 04:55 AMyou do realize that you've ruined my Ilyka Damen catchphrase, don't ya?
Posted by: MacStansbury at December 10, 2005 10:35 AMHappy Holidays, Ilyka! Glad to see you're back-ish.
Posted by: ratan at December 10, 2005 01:23 PMHey peeps. Rob, good call on the eggnog. Turns out that shit has calories! Looks like someone, someone who's not very bright, just earned herself extra minutes on the treadmill today.
Mac, what catchphrase?
Ratan: I miss your blog. Not that I don't understand, of course. Not blogging turns out to free up enormous quantities of time with which to things that are actually fun for a change.
Posted by: ilyka at December 10, 2005 04:29 PMOMFG! Happy holidays to me, you're HERE! You're HERE!!! Don't tease us with quarterly posting, OK?
Ilyka!!!!I've missed you so much, I'm thrilled that you're back.
Don't worry about the calories in the eggnog. It's only here once a year and it's worth the splurge. Yummy!
Posted by: Janette at December 10, 2005 06:55 PMHuh, for some reason I linked that love note back to Beth.
Well - Hi Beth!
Posted by: Janette at December 10, 2005 06:57 PMHappiness is seeing a post here.
Now get to postin', web mule!
Posted by: Hubris at December 10, 2005 07:45 PMI am SOOOOOOO jealous! I've got the Civilization jones in a bad way. It's probably better that I don't get it though. Divorces around the holidays are so messy. ;-)
Posted by: Jim at December 11, 2005 08:51 AMWow, it's great to see you posting again! I'm glad I kept your feed in my Bloglines. Merry Christmas to you! :-)
Oh, there you are! I knew Ilyka back when, even before the reform schools days ...
Posted by: Kenneth at December 12, 2005 06:29 PMOh, damn you . . . I'm never living down the reform school thing, am I?
Hey, go read Conversations with my Father so you can rate my George impersonation! I'm hoping you'll find it fairly accurate. Remember the year he had to ask Trudy when my birthday was?
Posted by: ilyka at December 12, 2005 07:14 PMwow, you came out to play! Missed you!
Posted by: caltechgirl at December 12, 2005 08:25 PMSee, now this is why I continue to click obsessively on dead blogs. Welcome back, you.
