In a perfect post-holiday follow up to Santa tossing<\/a>, I have found Polar Bowling<\/a>!!! Shockwave.com, how did I ever forsake you? Currently, my high score sits at 356, but I’m working on it. I can honestly say this is the first online game where I’ve even remotely considered buying the full version. Of course, if the kind people of Shockwave.com<\/b> would like to offer a discount for me to pimp their product, I’d probably consider it. Unfortunately for them, they caught me just at the end of the “Ah, hell, its the holiday season, its the TIME to spend money!” season, and I’m being stubborn about dropping $20 bucks here and there. Hell, I’m even considering closing my super-cheap subscription to the newspaper just because I don’t like going outside of the apartment to pick it up in the cold. Seriously. 7 days a week for less than a buck a week and I don’t want to walk outside. Then again, I might just be jaded because the 45 inches of rain we’ve gotten in the past two days has ruined a potential January golf outing. Temperatures are warm, but I think my front yard is starting to grow rice. At least the squirrels will be happy. <\/p>\n

So not only has the Polar Bowling addiction got me hooked to itself, but it also had me visit an old standby at Candystand.com<\/a>. Not only does it have a couple damn hard, yet kick ass mini-golf games, but its (normal, no polar bears included) version of bowling is pretty tough itself. So now not only am I procrastinating with online bowling, but I have two sites fighting for my attention. (For the record, I think I bowled a 300 in that once, but my high since last week is only 179 or so<\/s> 237.) As long as I don’t have to rent the shoes, I’ll be fine.<\/p>\n

In an effort to get my ass in gear, here’s what I need to\/want to get done this week:<\/p>\n

-Pay rent
-Tweak a couple templates, play with new looks
-Find a new comment system.<\/s> Thanks BlogSpeak<\/a>!
-Add a “favorites” page and a “credits” page. There are too many good people\/sites that help me out for free, and don’t get nearly the credit they deserve. One little link from my site should hook them up, right?
-Get all this stuff validated.<\/p>\n

Its a start, and who knows how much will get done, but I’ll give it a shot. (Except the rent. As much trouble as I’ve had with the heating crap, I kinda like where I live. Not to mention the walls and the bed.)<\/p>\n

Since blogger is giving me shit with same-day posts again, I need to re-publish and share this link<\/a>. If you get arrested, you get ridiculed. Simple enough.<\/p>\n

Now, does anyone else know why the hell Blogger doesn’t post the date in the footer if you post twice in one day? This has me confuddled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
