So, Consumeristmas is tomorrow. A time for buying and recieveing presents, racing around shopping centres and forgetting the real reason for this holiday: to celebrate the birth of Christ (also Kong's birthday, but he's not Jesus, just a panda). However, it has made for some fun times at work, as almost every employee has been rostered on to work, even though there really isn't that much more to do. I've lost count of how many times I've said "Have a Merry Christmas!", and I'm sure that I'm soon going to slip and say "Enjoy your Consumeristmas. How much money have you spent already?". Seriously, some people have spent more than $200 on food alone. Pure insanity, I say.

I went to see Casino Royale the other day. The new James Bond was good, I thought, even though the movie did drag on for quite a while (just as I thought the movie was about to finish, "oh noes!", another villain, another chase). I'm tempted to rent out the original version now, to compare the two. And the chick was hot, with an awesome attitude (sarcasm is the bestest).

Can't really think of anything else to say, except: Peoples, go on MSN, dammit! I need to discuss plans for the holidays, but can't, because you're never on! Christiaan, I'm looking at you! (I'd suggest you feign death now or suffer my wrath). Seriously, if you do read this at all, or anyone else who has signs that he is still alive, let him know that I'm free on New Year's, and able to get absolutely comatose.

Lastly, hooray for the smoke clearing. It's been a week that's made me even more reluctant to go outside, considering it was impossible to see more than 50 metres. Let's hope it stays cloudly and raining, because that's the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it.

And no, Luke, I don't know what to get your Dad for Christmas. Just get him a gift voucher for Southland, like I normally do when I can't think of something (why buy something they'll hate, when they can go out and buy something they want).
