No. 222: happy holidays to you

merry christmas to everyone i didn't already say it to. it was a lovely year. got a new camera, yay.
it was amazing to see all my family. sophia has grown up so much and liv is huge and so adorable. owen and logan are getting older too. corey's leaving on the 5th with the Marines for Iraq. scary.

but yes-- the next big seasonal event is New Year's Eve. I have no idea where to spend it. i want to drop in on MBC's thing, i want to see McQ's, and Lauren is having a thing at her place in CP, and tess and kathryn just wanna chill, which sounds nice, too. but driving on NYE is a poor decision, so I have to plan it right. i would also like to look fantastic, at least once, to mark the start of a new year which will see me in a lot of sweat pants and t-shirts. can't figure out what to wear, though. if 2007 was the year of problems, 2008 was the year of indecision. i'll pray about it, we'll see where i end up. i think it'll be a good time whatever it ends up being.

had breakfast with tess and mom this morning at silver diner in honor of tess's return from venezuela and her advent to spain for the semester. it was great to see her, but i hate that nova doesn't have good breakfast places. jimmy's or blue moon would've been so much more appealing and memorable. i miss Charm City, man. i'm very glad i'm going back for intersession. i think being in NoVa much longer than a couple weeks would start to get to me. although it's been really good to see mom and to hang out at my house, which i love, and to see kendall and the like. still-- i miss carlos and greg and maddie and all the More people. blah.

saw the Spirit with some kids in Columbia last night. enh. it wasn't great, it wasn't awful, it was just entertainment. could've waited til it came out on DVD though. did finally see Hellboy II at McQ's, which was phenomenal. Just enjoyed the crap out of the direction DelToro went. Creepy, magical, action packed and punning. Satisfying to the max. Now I wanna see Valkyrie, and Tarantino's war film. What's with war movies all of a sudden? Did anyone see Boy in the Striped Pajamas?

here are the songs, there's only 5, and no playlist. all christmas tunes. I got mad lazy. Last week's, the last post of the Songs of 2008, will be good, I promise.

1. Silent Night - Bing Crosby
2. Jingle Bells - Bing Crosby
3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Perry Como
4. Baby, It's Cold Outside - Zooey Daschenel and Will Ferrell
5. The Hannukah Song - Adam Sandler

And that's all I have to say about that.
