Okay, start of December, and another Progress Bar to pass the time until your holiday of choice.

Well, it's obvious. The FC winner for December has been crowned, against worthy odds. I'd kind of worried that Breet's mother wouldn't win against CJ, but now she has, and now we have an interesting new situation.

Well, besides that. Rhonda is trying to restart the newsletter. How do I know this? I tuned into an interview a while ago. With Creed. So, I hope Rhonda gets her info together for December. I believe she can do it.

Operation '05
For those of you who don't know what I mean (everyone's hands go up), let me explain.

You see, back in late 2005, I took up the hobby of building Puzz3D puzzles, and after building a few since October, I yearned for more. The issue was, I couldn't find any new ones in store, so I had to calm down for the rest of the year... until I woke up on Christmas Day.

That Christmas, I noted two new 3D puzzles under the tree, unwrapped, and still in their boxes, with my name on them (figuratively). That Christmas Day was the best one I can recall, as I spent the next two weeks (maybe three, considering my puzzle collection was partially dismantled on January 11, 2006) building up the U.S. Capitol Building and the Neuschwanstein Castle. I never knew how the presents got there, or who set them there, but as far as I know today, I ruled out my parents. (How in the world would they know what I liked but didn't own?)

Anyways, I never got such a curious situation like that again, and so I've decided, on December 2013, I would make my own scenario. That's when Operation '05 comes in. Besides the savings account I already have, I will set up another Christmas-style savings account, spending as little as I can to get as much money as I can in there. I do earn $300 every two weeks (by legitimate reasons), so after storing $100 into the general savings bank, another $65 for personal reasons, I'll save the remainder, and wait for the next $300. The mid-December cash will be split into thirds; $100 into the general savings bank, $100 to pay my bills, and $100 into the Operation '05 fund.

What will I buy and store under the tree as To: Julian, From: Whoever? Guess. What's $199.99 +tax?

If you don't know, wait until Christmas.

Anything else?
Anyways, that's it for tonight. See you again soon.
 * Fall Semester ends soon
 * I've finished most of my work for the semester, and I'm due to come out of academic probation after difficulties in my first semester last year. (Don't ask.) Once my GPA is fixed, I'll try to register for Homecoming next October. If I'm to spend another few semesters in community college, I will make them count. That includes an AA degree.
 * TDAS finale
 * Well, it'll be Mike and Zoey in the finals. (Let's cross them off the TDSLR roster, shall we?) I've fumbled on my predictions, and I didn't back up my predictions once they occurred, so I had to stand behind Zoey's elimination since Cameron was kicked out. Courtney was kicked out, followed by Gwen (a prediction I once made but never kept), and Scott was eliminated due to Zoey gaining immunity (I wanted a Mal/Scott final round). This hurts. Why can't I pick the right predictions? Anyways, let's hope to Mal winning against Zoey. Will Mike be erased from existence? That's a good question. (pause)
