Phantasmic Links 12.1.08

I can't believe it's December, let alone another Monday. Fortunately, unlike the first Monday of last month, I'm not going in to work. After a bit of boredom on my first day off, things got more interesting, and my vacation flew by, perhaps too quickly. As expected, I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do, but I certainly got through most of it. I nearly missed a holiday parade on Saturday night when I miscalculated an exit and drove in the wrong direction, but I managed to find my way just in time to find out that our band leaders hadn't gotten paid yet and would have to mail us a check for the gig. I can't say it wasn't fun, but getting paid is always nice icing on that cupcake. Oh well, ‘tis the season and all that. Let's click on some PHANTASMIC LINKS:

(13) You have 99 Bricks to build the tallest tower possible, but the game doesn't play the way you might think it does. You'll probably have no trouble beating my initial score of 408...

(14) When using Blahblahfish, in order to English and the fact that it does again to translate is possible to another language and to see exactly it loses with which rank translation, or you obtain…
