Post-Holiday Trauma
Ugh, back to the grind. Today has been busy and it was so terribly difficult to crawl out of bed, go to the gym, get ready for work and then actually go to work.
I went to Waco of Thanksgiving and spent it with the parents...we had a nice time. We ate at Park's Family Buffett for our Thanksgiving dinner...I now it sounds sacreligous, but their food is so awesome...and no dishes afterwards...no leftovers either which is a bit of a downside. We vedged the rest Thursday, I don't remember anything too exciting happening.
I watched Shrek 2 and SW: Episode 2 again...it was fun to watch those a second time, especially Shrek 2, I'm a big Shrek fan. I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. A great early sci-fi film, but watching it from our perspective it seems a little corny...I wonder if someone could do a good remake of it?
Friday was fun, the folks took me to this little Mexican food place and I had the best breakfast burrito I've had in a long, long time. I had chorizo, egg and potato with cheese and the salsa was superb. Let's see...we went and saw The Incredible and if you haven't seen it you really should...especially if you like comics and superheros...I enjoyed the Watchmen flavor to it...amongst other things. We watched Texas and Texas A&M play, I was pleased that the Longhorns won, but it wasn't much of a game. The mother and I went and watched a HighSchool playoff game that evening: Palestine High vs. Conally HS. It was almost a good game, but Palestine was a little better and got the good breaks.
We went out for breakfast on Saturday morning at Luby's; which had a breakfast buffet (big weekend for buffets)...it was surprisingly good...I ate too much again. After breakfast I packed and head back home...I love seeing my family, but I was ready to get back to my home. I completely wasted the rest of the weekend, nothing uneventful happened, 'cept I drank way too much and stayed up too late.
I did watch Buffy Season 3 Dic 6, the last of that season...I now eagerly await Season 4 Disc 1...and now Angel 1:1. Mystic River came in with this batch of Netflix, so I watched it as well. I dunno, it was good, the acting was great, the story was interesting...but I didn't get too excited about it...it was vaugely predictable and in the end I didn't feel like it went anywhere...really. I'm probably going to watch Yojimbo..another Kirosawa film...so far I've loved everything he's done...that I've seen.
I'm feeling lazy...it's gray and rainy again and I felt a little ill earlier this morning...I can't really think of anything to write about, so I'm just doing some lazy ass journaling. I'm contemplating going to the store to pick up a cheap sketch pad...I found my "how to draw" books and I'm feeling drawn to drawing.
Anyways...hope everyone is surviving the post-Thanksgiving holiday fallout...don't worry, Chirstmas vacation will soon be here.
