I'm getting a bit spotty with updating my weblog lately. But that's alright. I guess. You guys and girls knew I would be preoccupied while I was here, didn't you? So here is the weekend again and originally I was supposed to leave next weekend. Yeah, if you didn't know, and I'm sure I wrote this somewhere... probably on Twitter that I'm delaying my trip by two weeks so I'll be back in Australia by the end of January. I'm going to have another going away party too and I'm hoping people will show up this time.

I also got a donation for my hosting bill, so thank you lots for that.

And also, I wanted to say Happy Anniversary to Mark in Canada for his one year of podcasting. His podcast is called "Musings of a Tech Writer" and it's quite an accomplishment to be doing the podcasting thing for one full year. A lot of the podcasts don't last past their 10th episode, so congratulations!

Now thinking about it, I am at number 53 and it's taken me almost two years! (You know, counting the break I took from May 2007 until January 2008. So great job with your persistence and dedication, Mark.

I also wanted you all to know that I renewed my domains at idiologic and idiopod for another year. Having said that, I will probably phase out idiopod.com in the next 6 months. What I mean by this is that I will give up on the domain name and store the files at idiologic.com. No immediate plans on quitting yet.

Also, if you're fully interested, you should check out the next version of idiologic. And when you do, you should email me if you find typos and things that don't work! But remember it's not finished yet. :) I'm working on it a little each day to get it done by my 1 year being back podcasting anniversary!

With that being said, I'm outta here. Going back and reading some of my weblog entries has been very interesting indeed!

This New Year's Eve, I spent at Brandi's house and we ate some finger foods, drank margaritas and wine, and watched a marathon of South Park. I was so tired today and tonight so a few minutes after midnight, I headed home and that's where I am now!

So...

Happy New Year

...and I hope that 2009 is an awesome year for you.

Hopefully this year will bring on some good changes to my social life. With that being said, I'm off to sleep.

So alright, just an update to let you know how the holidays went. And a few other extras such as:

• Hope you had an awesome Christmas
• Presents

Whether you're buying, selling or just protecting your home, a home warranty is the best way to go. You can add literally thousands of dollars to the value of your home when you sell it by purchasing one. And of course, when purchasing one, you'll see that it will save you a lot of money by cutting down unplanned expenses. We all know how costly repairs and replacements can cost and no one wants to give up on a vacation because things around the house break, right?  

It's been a while and Christmas is over. It was great to see my family and friends during the holidays. Very great. So now things are beginning to wind down a bit. And now I'd the time to make plans for New Years Eve then it's time to head back to Australia.

I am busy conjuring up resolutions for next year. Just goals really. I am ready to lose some weight. Or to make sure I'm serious about my Heath I've been ignoring for years.

Anyway this is difficult typing on an iPod so yeah I'm out.

I know I've talked a lot recently about weddings and stuff like that but I'm going to go ahead and talk about it again because I know you want to hear about it.  You know, I might not be getting married anytime soon though I did catch the bouquet, but I can always look at rings and things.  One of my favorite rings are titanium rings.  The guys over at Titanium Style have a great selection of titanium wedding bands.  And honestly, taking a look at them they are some really nice rings.  They not only have rings but titanium necklaces too.

I guess it's going to be a while before I get married or will get a ring of my own that I know surely is mine.  There is one giant one in one of my desk drawers in Australia but I never knew if it was mine.  Gilbert told me years ago that he bought one for both of us but I'm not sure if that's it.  I guess if you're in a relationship and have been for what seems like forever, titanium is the way to go. 

So whatever kind of relationship you might be in, even if you're single, I wish you luck.  You know, even if I have to get a ring myself, I'd like one of those.  Hmmm... well I'm off to do some personal shopping now. :)

Christmas is only a few days away and between it feeling like it's almost summer (many of the days) and not being able to do much of anything, I don't know what to think.  I just honestly find myself being bored out of my mind but it's not like I wasn't expecting it.  I feel like I've been vegetating over the past month.  I still have 1 month to go.

Part 2 of idioPod 51 didn't get done. That is what's up with the title of this episode. It isn't full of lies or anything but I've realized that I talk before I think too much. It's sweet and to the point... if you think I can be to the point in 20 minutes.

I talk about this stuff in almost the correct order order like:

• Lack of quality sleep
• Snow (visit the gallery for the pictures)
• Brandi's wedding and wide-spread sickness
• Happy 1st Birthday to Felix (my dog in Australia)
• Deciding where to stay and an immigration update
• Quality time with the family
• Why part 2 of idioPod 51 didn't get done and an explanation of the title of this podcast.
• Ghost stories, ghosts, spirits and Ouija boards

This usually wouldn't be something I blog about but I slept for the whole night without waking up 100 times. So I slept from about 10:30 pm until 9 am. That means I woke up before noon today which is good news for me. I feel like I've been in bed way too much lately and I guess for no reason really.

One of the things I hate when I'm sleepless is someone telling me to drink warm milk. I wouldn't be able to sleep after I drank that because I'd be throwing up lunch in the garbage. I'm not a fan of warm milk in any form.

I usually find working out before I sleep makes me sleep a bit better. I didn't do it last night but I should.

Oh and I'm watching Cartoon Network and The Mr. Men Show is on. Have I ever told you how much I love this cartoon? I watched the Australian version when I had time. I totally heart Little Miss Chatterbox. Especially the Australian Little Miss Chatterbox.

That's it from me for now.
