Holiday on Ice
First off, I would like to thank David Sedaris for the title. I would like to think myself more creative, however I just don't think I can find a title more fitting. So here we are at the onset of week two of the winter holiday extravaganza. Week one sure was interesting. First off I would everyone had a merry Christmas. Mine was spent with my family all day Wednesday and most of the day on Thursday. I decided that I was going to go listless this year and only make minor suggestions for gifts. This actually worked out better than I expected, I was actually surprised on Christmas morning. This was added to the already pleasing 11:30 at which we began to unwrap presents. All in all not bad. After more time with the fam, I hooked up with Brie and we went to go see the new Peter Pan movie. The visual effects of the movie were entertaining, but the plot was pretty much nothing new. It was the exact same Peter Pan story with no new twists or insights. As Gus Van Sant has taught us: The only thing worse than fucking up a perfectly good movie/story by making changes, is to make it exactly the same. On Friday is when the real celebrations start sounding off. After being out till 3 in the morning on Friday, 5 AM on Saturday, and not falling asleep until 4 AM last night my sleep patterns are completely messed up. However it was really to see everyone and enjoy some holiday merriment. I am sure this week will entail much more merriment. I am now going to pass out under my desk. Hope you all have a fun Monday as well. B.
