All the cool kids are doing it!!


Jennifer and I are sending out holiday cards this year!!!! at first I thought it was all cheesy and only stuck up people did it or something. Pft what do I know, I'm still a kid learning all this adult stuff, and forced to act like one at work. Point is, its actually a little fun to do, because people hardly keep up with relatives as it is, so its a nice gesture and a way to say "Hey im still alive and doing this or that" once a year, especially if you haven't been back "home home" for 2 years like I have. Anyways, CHECK IT OUT!!! all my wicked holiday cards! 2 of which are going to Eric and Rico, close online friends that me and Jen have had over the years. We've all ready met Tree and Sox in person (met them online) so now they're just normal friends :P which we'll be going over to their place for our British/American Christmas feast! Man I love the holidays. We also were sitting around and taking a few pics, on my flickr and some below :) Enjoy!

Another fun filled day full of wicked success


Its nice to get some kind of self fulfillment after completing a busy day only to realize its just now 6pm, we actually accomplished a lot in just 1 day. I mean we did grocery shopping, I HATE grocery shopping. Making a list of things through out the week helped out a lot though. Cleaned up the house blah blah blah, but most importantly!! Put up our first real Christmas tree!! last year we had a good 2 foot fiber optic tree that we put a single ornament on :P But now we've owned our own house for a almost 2 years now and there's no excuse not to get one. Because when you first get married (Let alone getting married then right away moving to another country from the US) you don't own anything like furniture Christmas trees. Your living with box furniture and tables, and sleeping on a blow up mattress in the living room. lol

While we went shopping we also ran into the little part of the store that carry's lots of random Japanese and Chinese food, and walked out with an entire sushi kit, and the items to make it. I gotta say I thought it would be way harder and come out like total crap. But now it has me wonder why I ever paid for sushi and didn't just make the damn things my self!! It came out SOoo good, I highly recommend anyone to try it, just check out some of the sushi making videos real quick so you'll know how to wrap it. Jen even snapped a pic of me going NUM NUMM. Defiantly a good couple activity trying to figure you what you want in it, and experimenting how you should lay everything out. Jen also blogged about how to make it I think, she's blogging right now also :P Its nice just to set a few minuets out of the day, and take the time to blog.

And holy crap all my Christmas shopping is done!!!! like last week!, feels so awesome not having to even think about it. Mailing out some cards to the family still though.
Later Days!

Teaching at Southampton Solent University

That's right!!! actually it was last weekend, but me and Jen have been so busy I haven't event blogged yet. And I gotta say, for once I actually have no problem with work, now its just the math course I'm taking right now that I have a problem with. Its the only thing stopping me from getting a degree in a specialty I'll never need in the future, but hey why not? The US Government is paying for it anyways. Even though not media or computer related which is my true specialty. Working on aircraft's is more of a hobbies, even though it pays for a house, cars, FOOD, I love food. You know all that good stuff. So wheres a few pictures at what we do best, gaming, media, and teaching!

Last year we gave a lecture regarding the possibility of teaching within Second Life. Well since then, they have been aiming to start a SL course at the beginning of next year. Cant wait to see where else it leads to!!

Other than that I've mostly been coming home from work and school, then hanging out for a bit with Jen before heading to bed. I cant wait until this math course is over. Its crazy, I would take 3 courses all at once while working with out a problem. But throw a math course in and that alone fills up my time. Some of us really just were not built for more advanced math. Just stick to what your good at!!

Oh and holy crap!!! This years Knuckle Busters committee has started up at work, and I've all ready got tons of video ideas. Last year I bought my HD camera near the end of the Knuckle busters, so I only had time to do one kick ass video. WHICH I FOUND!! I thought I lost it forever while I was in Iraq and Jen told me my hard drive crashed. Little did I know there was a back up on my work computer. SO Hopefully I can get that sucker uploaded to the internet - because the internet is serious business. Guess we'll see!

Later Days!!
