If my calendar isn't good enough for you...
Looks like Nintendo saw my calendar last year and thought they'd better get in on the action: Mission in SnowDriftLand...

I want a Wii! :(
I'm not entirely sure why, but on my way to the bank today, I found myself staring into Game and HMV longingly, sad that I had not pre-ordered a Wii. Perhaps there are some still unsold in Cheltenham? Perhaps I could track one down? Ugh - I don't think I've ever been such a victim of marketing ;)
But they do look fun. The crowd standing around the display model in Game all had wide grins on their faces - although I'm not quite sure which they found more entertaining, the gameplay or watching the little fat boy gleefully ...
Away In A Manger
I'll be going away to Kent for the next few days now - lots of exciting meetings lined up, including one in 3 hours... Hmm, 3 hour drive, currently sitting in Cheltenham... oops. I'd better ring ahead...
Even though I won't be here, don't fret - I'll make sure the advent calendar gets updated, and I'm sure I'll still manage to check back every few hours ;)
Have a nice time, and behave yourselves while I'm gone.
Why I Shouldn't Be Allowed To Cook
So Leela was away this weekend, and I was left to feed myself. Normally this would involve toast, cheese, pasta, or a takeaway, but Leela left me with a list of the things in the freezer that I could probably eat, and one of those was a burger.

Now, everyone knows that meat is dangerous if under-cooked. Nobody knows exactly why - that information was lost centuries ago - but ...
Episode 1: The Christmas Story Begins
The calendar game for today is the first installment of the mini-series story I'm doing this year, where you have to save Christmas. I had hoped to get it ready for the 1st, but the logic was a little more complicated than I'd anticipated, and adding all the little touches added time. Tracking down appropriate sound effects was particularly time consuming - I ended up at the free sound project, which is fantastic but huge. The game is now done to my satisfaction - tacky and silly and fits right in with the rest of my site ;) Hope you enjoy ...
