I just read that two uses of hydrogen peroxide are as the main ingredient in both teeth whitening strips and earwax removal treatments. Interesting.

Christmas was pretty good for the most part. We brought the cat along and he got quite pissy about the fact that he had to ride in the car. There are quite a few rips in Daniel’s leather jacket that were not there when he put it on that morning. We had lasagna at his mom’s house then visited various family and friends afterwards.

Dan’s friend came in from Vermont that night and they left today on a backpacking trip. It’s kind of weird because we haven’t really been apart yet for more than a day and they won’t be back until sometime Monday.

One of my presents this year was an electric guitar. It’ll be interesting to see if I have the patience to learn to play as previous attempts at instruments have failed due to a lack of it, a tendency towards perfectionism, and frustration when perfection isn’t attained.

I’m going to reintegrate site reviews into this site soon. Some upcoming projects are going to usurp a lot of my online time and I don’t have the interest to maintain a separate site.

1. Televison Without Pity

I usually work in the evenings, so I tend to miss the few shows I actively follow. The recaps here are very detailed and quite entertaining.

2. Web Comics

Some of my favorites include: Chugworth Academy, Questionable Content, Penny Arcade, and Ctrl+Alt+Del

3. Giveaway of the Day

This site gives away a different software program everyday for free. The only catch is that it has to be downloaded, activated, and installed before the day is over. At midnight pacific time, the offer expires and a new program is posted.

4. Holiday_Wishes

A LiveJournal community with a simple, but great concept: lists of up to ten wishes are posted by members. They respond to each others postings and fulfill the wishes if they are able. Wishes range from requests for postcards and new LiveJournal friends to requests for donations of time or money to a favorite charity to expensive electronic items.
