Plans for Vaca Time

With all this time off in December, it's time to go to the movies...

Want to see:

• The Tale of Despereaux
• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Doubt
• Wendy and Lucy
• Slumdog Millionaire (check)
• Milk (check)
• The Brothers Bloom
• Frost/Nixon
• Cadillac Records

And catch up on my reading:

• The Word
• Song of Solomon
• Everything is Illuminated
• Infinite Jest (gave up)
• Barrel Fever
• Shantaram

Plus, go home and catch up with old friends. 

It's raining so hard right now.

The sound is amplified because of the skylight. 

My holiday song:

"River" by Joni Mitchell.

I like Christmas:

Celebrating Jesus' birth.

General cheer.

Gift giving.

More time to spend with family and friends.

What I don't like:

Having to get a whole bunch of work done right before Christmas.

Gaudy decorations.

Lots of people everywhere.

Gift giving turned into crazy consumerism and extravagance.

All the poor trees getting cut down.

Those are the things I want to skate away from...

Tide Pools!

Kleenex

The last time I was in JJ's office crying (Why was I crying? Who knows? I don't remember), I was outraged because he didn't offer me a tissue. "Why are you not giving me kleenex?!" I exclaimed while trying to wipe away tears with my hands. "Because you've used them all! I got none left because of you!" he retorted. Then, we laughed.

He came in today showing off his new box of unscented kleenex. It was considerate of him to buy unscented ones knowing I'm allergic to strong fragrances.

Hopefully, it'll take me a long time to go through this box.

December

Not excited for all the Christmas music, gaudy decorations and people everywhere.

Excited for lots of playing with friends visiting home.
