So do I (along with Home Alone 1 & 2). My favorite version is Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol. I'll be watching it later today courtesy Hulu.

Still waiting on stirrings from my son...in order to call the daughter (who is dogsitting) and get her over here to open presents....

And then maybe some of that hulu action with the present I got him..

Right now, I'm thinking of a good question to lead with for my upcoming milestone post... I'm also watching hyenas and lions fight one another. Not sure why.

Maybe it's because you're hungry also.

Cause Lions are the Kings of the Forest and Hyenas are the Jokers. It's a lot like watching Congress on C-SPAN.

I'm trying to decide what to do with the money I got for Christmas. I decided to put that money plus the money I earned by working extra the last couple of weeks and next week towards something fun instead of something usefull. I want something I will really use and it's hard to find something.

I would love a tablet, but there aren't a lot out there except the Samsung and the iPad. Or maybe the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch set, although I don't know if I will use it enough to justify it (though maybe it will get me in to drawing again). Or maybe I can use it to get away for a couple of days. Anyway, I simply don't know yet.

Isn't it wonderful to have money for FUN STUFF!

I have a Wacom Intuos 4 and it is wonderful for digital art. I'm unsure about tablets for digital art at this point. I've seen some great stuff from iPads but I will be waiting for the next generation of Android tablets before doing anything. The one thing about tablets/iPad/digital art is that it is very different than sketching/drawing with pencils/paints takes a lot of work to learn/accomplish...I still have billions and billions to learn.

See my galleries in the links in my sig for artwork I've done.

I'm looking at at the snow - wondering when to begin cleaning off the steps, cars, etc. Meanwhile charging all the ereaders. Going to be a "readerly" kind of day.

kennyc · 12-26-2010, 10:38 AM

Working on my latest graphite drawing. Will go out for a long leisurely walk later in the 60F weather. Seems Denver and southeast have swapped weather...

kennyc · 12-26-2010, 10:42 AM

Happy BOXING DAY everyone!

Is boxing day the day when you throw away all the boxes?

kennyc · 12-26-2010, 11:03 AM

That's what it is here.

I hope everyone that celebrates it had a wonderful Christmas and that there are lots and lots of new ebook reader owners out there!

It has been crazy busy these last couple weeks. I'm looking forward to slowing down and enjoying family time together this week! Right now I'm taking a break from playing (or learning to play) Wii with my family, much to their amusement! I need to go hide the video camera! They are getting ideas.

I don't know how I'll ever catch up on all of the posts I've missed.

Coming the day after Christmas, I thought it was the day the fights started between folks who weren't pleased with their gifts.
