First thing's first. In case you missed my Halloween costume this year...
I know what you're thinking. "Those two are pretty awesome!" You would be correct.

Since Halloween I've had more car issues. My poor baby. My '97 Camry is on its last leg methinks. At least this time it wasn't as serious. I just needed a new battery. That still sucks though, especially when you've been at work all day, and all you want to do is go pick up some pizza and beer on the way home. Then you go out to your car to discover that the battery is dead. I mean, I had to wait until after work the next day to get pizza and beer! My life is so hard! Fortunately I have a handy dandy mechanic for a roommate. Or at the very least she can replace a battery. So there's that! Note to self: learn how to be butch.

| Thanksgiving dinner '13 |
This winter at work I have 3 days off. That's right. I'm a 4-day/10-hour cast member with Tuesday Wednesday Thursday off. The point of all this? Guess which holidays are all on a Thursday this year?! Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year's Day!! I've already booked my flight to go home for Thanksgiving, and I am SO EXCITED! It will feel wonderful to be back at 61 Lundy St having dinner with the immediate family including my uncle John and grandfather, Mr. Diddy. Hopefully this is going to become an annual thing again. That would be lovely.
Last year was the first time I spent Thanksgiving dinner with my family since 2006. We spent it in Charleston where my sister Emily lives with her Freddiehusband. We listened to Christmas music. We took family pictures. We stuffed ourselves with food and wine. I felt all warm and bubbly inside, and that feeling wasn't from the wine. The feeling was great, and I can't wait to feel it when I see my family next week!
Umm let's see... MOVIES!
Don't see Maleficent. Unless you have in which case I feel sorry for you. To be fair, I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. It's certainly better than both Snow White and the Huntsman and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The changes to the original story didn't bother me. The movie just didn't grab me in any way at all. Blah.
Do see Interstellar. It is our generation's 2001 though it isn't anything at all like Kubrick's classic. While Kubrick's film was opaque and weary of the human race, Nolan's film is all heart, full of hope that the human race will survive. The relationship between Matthew McConaghey and his daughter is the heart of the film, and if you don't cry once, you have no soul. Then there's the visuals of course. They are absolutely astounding, as is Hans Zimmer's booming score. See this flick on IMAX to get the full experience. It's totally worth it.
Okay I think that's more than enough for now. If you'll excuse me I'm going to enjoy the rest of my night off before my third day off this week. Yay for being a 4-day! Deuces.
