Push Pin Mario
Completely useless.. but impressive.
"What you're looking at it is a 17,000 push-pin mosaic mural, a product of three revisions and a total of two and a half semesters of work. The final revision took a whopping two months of work by the CIS Student Association at the University of the Fraser Valley, and it's currently sitting in the Student Computing Center over there."
New Rule
WOOPS!! Welp.. on the very day that I posted a few rules about drinking, Elaine and I have already broken it! well.. kinda.. and we did find ourselves in a situation that we did not predict: FREE DRINKS. Okay, so here was the scenario.. we attended Elaine's company Christmas part down at the Waterfront Hotel. We knew that there wasn't going to be an open bar – instead they gave us 2 free drink tickets – so we weren't worried about going over our limit. So we each got 2 gin and tonics and that was fine... but during dinner, they made an announcement that they would be providing 4 free bottles of wine per table! We only had six people at our table and the others weren't drinking sso much. Okay... so heck.. we were there.. dressed up... with a bunch of free drink in front of us.. what else are we supposed to do?!! haha. There's another reason too.. Elaine hates her job and works very hard at it.. so she always sees these types of scenarios as opportunities to drink what she deserves! Someone made a speech about appreciating all the spouses and partners out there for dealing with their stressed out CHC employees.. its been a rough year.. so all the more reason to drink up! so what does this all mean?
Rule #4:
4. When you have a personal vendetta over a company and they are the ones paying for the booze, drink away. Just make sure you have a safe ride home.

Non-Alcoholic Holidays
A little more than a month ago, Elaine and I agreed that we were consistently drinking to an excess, so we made a pact to try to cut down on the alcohol. Our primary goals for this pact are for better health, saving money and of course safer streets. So here were the rules that we discussed:
1. Absolutely NO DRINKING and DRIVING: this rule should go without saying, but I have to admit, I've been careless in the past.. having a few at a nearby friend's place and thinking it would be okay to drive home. I'm going to be more responsible with this one from now on. I can't say I can commit to the zero tolerance rule, cuz sometimes I enjoy a glass of wine with my steak, but that's about where it has to stop. One drink with a meal I think is okay.
2. Don't buy drinks at a club or lounge: well... mostly because they're EXPENSIVE. So this rule requires some planning, if I'm heading downtown for some good times, I'm going to pre-drink first! Now, this rule has a clause though and it is based on special occasions like a birthday or a graduation or whatever. It's only right that you can buy yourself and your buddy a drink when there's a good reason to celebrate! I believe we agreed that on these occasions, three drink each person rule will be enforced.
3. Three drink limit: when at home or at a friend's place (basically when the alcohol is from the BC Liquor Store) we'll stick to a three drink maximum. Three beers, three glasses of wine, three shots, three martini's, etc. etc. .. these of course are ORs and not ANDs.
I think these rules might be updated along the way.. I'm sure we're going to run into scenarios where these rules won't apply and we'll wonder what to do. Anyway, I think it's a good start and these current rules do provide some sort of guideline.
For now, we're going to try to make it til the end of this year with these rules, but with the holiday season and its impending celebrations and parties, this task that we've set for ourselves is going to prove quite challenging... cuz well.. I think we both just love to PARTY!
Good luck to the both of us!

Aston Martin One-77
The best at invoking emotion into a product are automobile designers and the marketing that goes with it. What a beautiful sports car.
