Blue Chamber

You get two posts today, by way of an apology for this week's paucity (Yes, it's an unfamiliar word being given a richly-deserved moment in the spotlight. Don't be scared, it won't bite ).

Following hot on the heels of my Gaming Coma revelations, and also something of a tribute to Kirsty finding my new blog, for she introduced me to the whole concept that I am about to introduce to you; feast your optics on this little gem of a website:-

WINTER-EEN-MAS!

What is Winter-een-mas? A seasonal holiday for Gamers! Woot! It lasts a week and starts on the 25th of January - tomorrow! What better way to deal with the short days and bitterly cold weather than settling in front of a TV or PC and immersing yourself in some fine gaming. (Okay, I meant for SINGLE people, smart-alecs!) Hmm, I think I feel another Gaming Coma coming on!

If you get the chance, take some time to go through the CTRL-ALT-DEL comics, too. You probably need a background in gaming to get all the jokes but plenty are universal in their appeal. It's very well drawn, too.

Tomorrow also happens to be Burns Night in Scotland so I'll also be trying to track down a Haggis and some neeps and tatties for a traditional Burns Supper. I may go Veggie Haggis this year as I seem to have developed a fair old taste for it - yum! That, and they take only ten minutes to cook in a microwave as opposed to an hour or more for the traditional Haggis! I honestly can't think of a better way to start a Winter holiday![/ALIGN]
