We just finished a hectic week of getting the new house ready for the move-in. My new wife went all-out with the remodeling:
0: Repaint 80% interior
1: New granite countertop w/ new sink, dispose-all, and backsplash
2: New range/oven (because you can't replace the countertop without replacing the range...unfortunately, it is a downdraft model which limited our 'range' of options...translate $$$$ 
3: Internet service (cable with excellent speed!)
4: DirecTV service (of course the house is loop wired with RG-59, so a scheduled 4 hour job turned into a 7 hour job for that poor sod)
5: Half a dozen fixture/fan changes
6: New hardwood flooring in the living room (replacing carpet)
7: Steam cleaning of remaining carpet areas and some furniture
8: Tree maintenance (done by me...the $70 investment in a 14' pole saw was worth every penny)
9: Yard maintenance for an acre
The movers showed up yesterday afternoon and by 10PM, I could finally sit back and relax. Today, I am thankful to have my Saturday job to get away from the new house and the unpacking if boxes. Tomorrow, I will get my new home office put back together and ready for Monday. Not only are we changing houses, but we are keeping the old one for rental income, meaning it will certainly require at least a few weeks of repairs/restoration before it is ready to rent. Sadly, all this activity has seriously cut into my lounge time!  The habitat upgrade will be worth it, once I have time to enjoy it.

Well there are games that demands:
I - Actual intelligence - No one know for certain what will bring about the right result
AI - Artificial Intelligence - You need some kind of simplified intelligence to play (a collection of rules and some random checks dependent on situation)
SI - Superficial Intelligence - You just memorize some rules to play
NI - No Intelligence - Here Chuck Norris games come to their right
Come to think of it programmers and other occupations also fall into a similar categories

Herself is watching shouting at reruns of NCIS.
Myself, I have worm tableted the cat, deep cleaned the kitchen, found space for my new Vacuum Sealer[^] and am avoiding listening to the screams of rage in the living room.
So, yes, a bit!

The sealer has a serious purpose or two: better sealing than I currently get for freezing food, and sealing food ready for my Sous Vide (when I can get at it after Christmas Day).
Vacuum sealing food extends the freezer lifetime by a factor of 4 or so!

If you can see Chuck Norris you may be moments from death. If you can't see Churck Norris, you may already be dead.

Doesn't feel like it resolves.

Don't be irrational!
It doesn't need to resolve, it's transcendental.

I really don't believe that the expression "get a life!" has ever been more appropriate.

WTF is the lesson here really. It like the minister of transport claims; since to few follows the speed limit, nobody can drive on the road?
