The men’s washroom in the Arcadian Court has a sign warning me that drinking alcohol while pregnant might hurt my baby. While this isn’t normally a concern for me, given the amount of floaties in everyone’s water glasses at this establishment, I’m going to be extra careful.
The occasion was the annual Christmas lunch, but for reasons that actually had nothing to do with political correctness, we weren’t allowed to call it a Christmas lunch. We still managed to have a present exhange though. We play the version where everyone puts a gift on the table and then people get a chance to either take one from the table or steal a gift from someone else (who then gets to go to the table or steal). Amazingly, I sought out a bottle of wine (the packaging made it pretty obvious) and managed to keep it. Yay for me. My gift submission was a Godzilla action figure with “shatter tail action” and “thunder roar”. It was pretty sweet, although wrapping it in Digimon paper made people automatically think it was a toy, so next year I’ll go for a more serious packaging scheme. The best wrapping was what appeared to be Hannukah paper with a card that said “Merry Christmas”. I normally wouldn’t recommend the Arcadian Court to anyone, but I managed to get a custom vegan meal instead of the buffet, and it was a winter vegetables in phyllo pastry creation that really kicked ass. People said they were jealous, but I’ll believe it when I see them order the same thing next year. I was full at the end, anyway.
In other news, the VP beta is going well. I spent a few hours this evening converting pages to valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, which is a severe pain in the ass. I have a few more forms to complete, but they can wait a bit. Once that’s done, I get to launch, and I can move on to new things, which will likely include sleeping.
