War of Fog

It might just be me, but it seems like we've had an unusual amount of fog around my house this month.  Thankfully it hasn't yet reached Stage 3, or I'd have a lot more to worry about than just getting to work on time. 

Capricorn Christmas

The cats who climb the Christmas tree have been officially one-upped.  Who needs tinsel and candy canes when there's an entire tree to nibble on?

As an interesting coincidence, it really is the time when the Sun is traditionally in the constellation of Capricorn.  Or at least according to the tropical zodiac timeline.  By the sidereal zodiac timeline, it won't be in Capricorn until January.  And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's okay.  I had to look it up too.  But either way, it doesn't matter.  Goats can and will happily cause havoc at any time of the year.  Bonus points if they can be adorable at the same time. 

Vows of Folly

In the name of goodwill and merriment, we smite thee!!!

A depressing song, an obnoxiously depressing song, and a depressingly obnoxious song.  The first is pretty easy to tune out, and can be snuck into a playlist without attracting attention.  The other two are an entirely different matter.  They're probably not the worst Christmas songs in existence, but you'd still be severely pressing your luck should you choose to play them when those listening are able to find your current location so that they may apply either a 2x4 or a fruitcake to your skull. 

Wrap Battle

 

The elves tend to be under a lot more pressure to stay on the "nice" list than regular folks.  So the fact that Santa hasn't bothered to put an end to this yet means they're probably still safe.  And possibly possess super clean-up magic so this sort of thing isn't as big of a deal as it looks, in which case I'm very jealous. 

End of User

Ah, the end-user license agreement. That gargantuan, hodge-podged legal document of dubious legality we are supposed to wade through and agree to before using a program, but rarely do in practice. I actually do at least skim through EULAs, mostly because one time I read through one on impulse and discovered a chunk of information that was immediately useful. It's probably a good policy given that if rumors are true, there's at least one company who claimed the user's soul as part of the agreement (as a joke), and another who claimed the right to hack into the webcams of users with bootleg copies of their program (not as a joke).
