Welcome home Stephen Barry!  I know you’re coming tomorrow, but I decided to welcome you now, anyway.  I have work tomorrow from 4:45 to 10:00 p.m., so you’re gonna have to go to Summerhour to see me when you get here.  Robby and I are planning to sleep in a bit (til 9 a.m., anyway), so we can stay up and talk.  Oh yeah, do you want the couch or the floor?  Well, I guess we’ll see you tomorrow!

A new year is about to begin.  Big whoop.

Merry Christmas to all!

With final exams through tomorrow, then the long trip home, then the holiday plans, etc., etc., we will not have any more Alistair Watkins videos for you until after we are back in school.  We may post a video today or tomorrow of our room (the ACTUAL room 2593).  We are going to clean it first until the glare almost damages the camera.

I found out at our Christmas concert that I Cantori (my college choir, of which I am a part) will be going to Brazil at the end of the school year for a 2-3 week tour!  It has finally been confirmed.  If you would like to help me out with that, just go to my donation page.

We apparently have fans.  We haven’t found out who these fans are, but we are happy that people enjoy our videos.  Perhaps at the end of the year we will distribute a DVD.  Or tee-shirts.  Or something.  Perhaps you can come up with some good ideas.  So far we’ve thought of having tees that say, “Does eating an ice cream cone exercise your brain?  I think not!”  The DVD would be fairly easy.  Now, the only problem with shipping these things is privacy.  Many of you haven’t even given your real first names.  Giving us your addresses too might be a little much.  If it is a problem, please help us solve it.  We do have an entire semester left for videos, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead.

Ah, yes.  I remember.  We need ideas for more videos.  We just need some strange (or just potentially funny) occupations for Bret to have had.  We have only a couple of ideas right now, and it’s easy to make a video after we get through the original idea.

We did sing a Thanksgiving carol for you, but we have nothing for Christmas.  Sorry about that, but there is no familiar Thanksgiving tune we can turn into a Christmas song.

As a special Christmas bonus, you can contact us through our blogs, especially in the forums, for free help with anything.  Wait… we always do anyway.  I’m just reminding you that we enjoy helping others, especially with anything technological.

Sign up!!!  You get special treatment if you do!  Well, you can have an avatar that shows up in comments on some blogs, you can post in the forums, and you may eventually get even more privileges if we think you’re worthy.

I shall be trying to learn French (again, ugh) starting next semester.  I want to take a French course next year, and I want to be somewhat prepared.  If any of you speak French, speak away!  I would love the practice.

This paragraph is not an announcement at all.  In fact, the only point is to see if you have actually read this far.

And this is the end of my post.  It might be a bit long and boring, but it’s mostly informational.  Enjoy your Christmas.  Happy early 2009.  Have fun and eat unhealthful things over the holidays.  Enjoy your pancreatitislessness!  Au revoir!
