Right now, in my hot little hands I have a videocassette. I havenÂ’t been able to watch it yet; IÂ’m saving it for tomorrow. This might be the most talked about but hardly seen Christmas Special ever. ItÂ’s joked about, made fun of, and some younger fans arenÂ’t convinced it actually exists.

What do I have? Well my friends, tomorrow I will be watching Chewbacca returning home to celebrate “Life Day” with his son, wife and Father. That’s right, I have a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special, AKA “The Wookie Christmas” (Well at least according to the insert that came with it). I saw this when it first came out in 1978; I have not seen it since. I’m giddy with excitement over this; this could make this the best Christmas EVER! From everything I recollect it was horrible, but still it’s iconically hilarious by being so bad.

The only down side is that itÂ’s not mine. It was loaned to me by an acquaintance, and I have to return it Tuesday. Thus I donÂ’t have time to get a copy of it. Sigh.

This has to be the coolest table I've ever seen. Talk about an easy conversion to seat more people.

If I only had a room big enough for something like this.

UPDATE: The table is made by DB Fletcher Furniture Design.

This is a two-for. Over at Not Exactly Rocket Science, CalTechGirl has two posts up that really touched me. The first being a little song about Christmas Shopping. It doesnÂ’t exactly convey how I feel about shopping, but itÂ’s pretty close. I donÂ’t tend to cry after shopping because IÂ’m a man and we just donÂ’t do that, that would require a level of sensitivity I just canÂ’t posses.

The second post is regarding a Firefly/Serenity convention that went wrong and how cool the actors were. IÂ’ll steal her thunder with the Christmas song, but youÂ’ll have to go read the post about the convention over there.

On my way home from work I heard an interview with a representative for LifeLock. ItÂ’s a company that for $10.00 a month protects you from identity theft. They even guarantee it.

Our guarantee is simple: If your Identity is ever stolen while you are our client and your claim is legitimate, we will fix the problem. Period. No matter what it takes. And we'll reimburse you for any losses you incur. No matter what it costs (up to $1,000,000).

The guy was so sure of his company that he gave his social security number out over the air. It sounded pretty impressive, I donÂ’t have any first had knowledge about this company, but I thought I would share the information with all of you, it is the season you know; the season for greed, theft and materialism.

Speaking of theft, I also heard on the radio that three red kettles where stolen from the local Salvation Army today from different locations. They estimated the thief(s) got off with over $500.00 in donations. I guess some low-lifeÂ’s kid is going to get a Play Station 3 for Christmas.

Think you hate your job? Maybe you have had a bad experience with an employee. Perhaps there is a co-worker or boss you despise. Now there is a site for you to go and vent to anonymously or read otherÂ’s problems, Disgruntledworkforce.com.

IÂ’ve read many of the posts, some are legit, some are stupid, but there are many that are amusing.
