Feeling Low

It's been a pretty low past day and half. My grandma passed away yesterday morning, and even though we all knew it was to be expected, it's still very sad. Needless to say, it's going to continue to be a long, sad, busy few days.

He May Be On To Something...

The way my nose has running like a faucet all day, I'm beginning to think that maybe Michael Jackson is onto something in the way that he just has a gaping hole in the middle of his face instead of a nose. After today, having a huge void instead of constant river of germy snot is beginning to look pretty good.

Holiday Post-Wrap

I hope everyone had a great time over the holidays. I spent the end of December too busy eating Christmas cookies to post anything on this blog. The only dark spot of the holiday season is that I think my husband may now be officially addicted to X-Box and that I may need to have an intervention. Actually, I understand the draw, and so would anyone else who played Need for Speed: Underground 2 for more than five minutes. It qualifies as pretty bad-ass.

We also saw some good movies in the past few weeks, those being Garden State and Sideways. Both are fantastic and come recommended with two opposable monkey thumbs up! I have to start getting serious about my movie watching again since it's almost Oscar-pick time. On Oscar night, my family traditionally gets together and has a betting pool on who the winners will be in every category from Best Film to Best Adapted Screenplay and I intend to win it fully this year and not have to split the pot.

The best post-holiday news is that one of best friends, Diana, the Evil Twin, is in town from Arizona for a week to visit because why? BECAUSE EAST COASTERS ROLL HARD!
