Livin it One Day at A Time

I’ve been thinking about getting an Xbox 360. Why? Well, because I saw the Halo 3 trailer.

But at that time, I found out that there is a Battlestar Galactica Massively Multi-player On-Line game coming to your nearest Xbox360.

So the hoarding of pennies has begun, but then I found out there is a Firefly Massively Multi-player On-line Game

And now I have to start saving my nickels. And dimes.

I don’t know how much ya’ll will see me in the next few months as me, and all my browncoat friends become recluses from humanity.

Well, more of a recluse for me that is.

Vacation has pretty much consisted of

1) Sleep
2) E-mail
3) Thinking about working on pins
4) Thinking about going somewhere else
5) Christmas
6) Sleep
7) Shopping against my will for furniture
……

During this time there have been at least two Doctor Who marathons going on.

Yes. That’s my roots. The people who watch Doctor Who, have Doctor Who ringtones, why I wouldn’t put it past a member of my family to have a Doctor Who Pinball machine..

Take that, and the *tremendous* amount of time I’ve had to waste time on the Internet and I have found the next perfect present for Gordon

It’s Available in the UK, so I may have to hurry to get it to him before his Birthday…

And Gordon is going to hate me for posting this.

But we’d sing it to him all the time.

I grew up in a Sci-Fi nerd home. Full of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings.

We also watched the “Wonderful World of Disney”.

Once or twice, you’d get a magical little combo of both worlds.

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from ?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Over Christmas I did some Christmasy stuff..

Like open presents

Attempt to get all family members watch the Star Wars Holiday Special

Failing to do so, I waited to hear what happened to Doctor Who on the Doctor Who “Christmas” episode.

Which is different, and more holidayish, than regular Who.

Where was I?

Oh yes, I was consuming mass amounts of food, lots of sweets, and I set up Planet Hardy which is the an aggregate of all of the family blogs.

So, if you are related to me, and you blog, let me know, I’ll add you to the feed.

Merry Christmas ya’ll.

I posted this over at Pinblog, but I feel that I need to post it here, do to my “Hobby”

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction – that our lives
had become filled with pinball machines, tools, circuit boards, and
all types of spare bulbs and fuses.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could help us
restore all old pinballs to NIB condition.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
the pinball Gods, the designers, and manufacturer(s).

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our pinballs,
supplies, and NOS.

5. Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature
of our skill level.

6. Were entirely ready to remove all bad playfield defects from our
games.

7. Humbly asked the pinball Gods to remove our shortcomings and shower
us with multiball, specials, and replays.

8. Made a list of all persons we had out scored, and became willing to
make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take parts inventory and when we had something good
to post, would promptly do so.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our game and high
scores.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.

Keep coming back…

Hi. My name is……
