We're mostly through Christmas, though I expect the kids to get more loot from some of my aunts and uncles, and from Mrs. Ha's side of the family. It was a decent Christmas, even though we've lost six year old to DS lite world. I even got good things, a multitool, a gator socket, some Craftsman pliers and screwdrivers, and a 12 pack of beer. The beer was from Mrs. Ha's brother, and is in a gift crate, entitled Beers of America. So far, the Tejas bock is good.

I didn't realize I was getting this, so I splurged on Saranac's 12 Beers of Winter, their Belgian Ale is quite tasty indeed. It's a beerstravaganza at the Ha household.

I revisited my adolescence by watching Repo Man the other night. It still rocks, warts and all. I need to get the soundtrack digitally, so I can add it to my mp3 player, once I fix the file system (the hard drive is full, but there's no music! It will likely need a reformat). Recommended if you have anger about things not being quite right, or like 80's punk.

In other movie news, we watched
Lovely & Amazing, which would have been perfectly at home on Lifetime/Oxygen, minus the few minutes of Emily Mortimer's full frontal and back nudity. It was the story of four womyn (a mom, and three daughters, one of which was adopted) and they're self absorbtion, with the men mostly being cads. Recommended if you like Lifetime/Oxygen movies.

Withdrawal sucks. Mrs. Ha was taken off her one anti-psychotic since it made her prolactin levels too high, and had a rough time. One of the side effects was helping her sleep, so she ended up with a few sleepless nights (insomnia is a gift that you can share with others, and still have). She's on a new anti-anxiety now, we'll see how it affects her.

It should be a low key weekend, the kids are going to Pennsylvania with my folks to visit relatives, we're going to Buffalo tomorrow to see Mrs. Ha's side of the family, and we don't have much else to do, though I am on call.
