Christmas spelled backwards because I can't think of a decent title.

 

Hey guys, how was your Christmas day? Enjoy your presents? Ate too much food for your own good like me?

 

I went to visit my grandparents and other family in east TN. My favourite part was getting to see my adorable nephew. He’s four months old now and no word can appropriately describe how cute he is. I think my parents had way too much fun with him...tis’ fun to poke fun at my old man and call him a grandpa now.

 

I'm home now, simply bushed. It's been snowing a lot today; it looks so serene and is quite inspiring for writing and art...something which I really need to start doing more of. I'm digging in the chocolate I got for Christmas; it's all quite yummy and relaxing on this cool evening. If you're wondering, my favourite Christmas present was Beauty and the Beast from my parents. I also got a Muse album from them, a Michael Bublé album from my sister, and then just an assortment of random things (chocolate, a scarf, coloured pencils) from other siblings and relatives. Very thankful to have gotten this much.

 

In addition got to see True Grit--it was a superb movie. It's different from the original John Wayne version, and I have a feeling most people won't like it (ah, my abnormal [or bluntly terrible?] movie tastes), but I fell in love with it. Very witty, realistic, and I loved how it was centered around this young girl—but was shockingly not cliché in the slightest. That’s why it was just so unusual, but a good unusual. It was like Anne of Green Gables bumped into Clint Eastwood and all karzahni broke loose, haha.

 

I'll be going down on Wednesday to Louisiana to visit some more relatives and friends. I'm frankly a bit antsy since I haven't been there for nearly two years. Whatever the outcome, I still won't be very active for the next week or two.

 

I’m feeling pretty sick and sore all over, so I’m probably going to curl up with a book or play FFIX in bed. As much as I love my relatives, it can get so loud and crazy!

 

Take care you dears.

 

 

(P.S. I bought a present for a certain friend and I apologize in advance that it will be sent late :'< )

Haha, awesome. That makes me want to see it even more.

 

But glad you enjoyed your Christmas! I also ate way too much, lol. I don't think I've eaten so many sweets the past six months combined, but it was worth it!

Ah, doesn't everybody have fun poking their old man from time to time ;) Glad you're enjoying the holidays!

 

Sounds like that movies is something to check out.

 

You know, it is THIS hard imagining snow in TN after the sweltry summer ^^

 

Speaking of feeling sore and sick, you once again display a lot of likeness to a fictional character in a book I am reading :D

Well that sounds like a nice Christmas all around.

 

Mine was nice too. Nice family members, nice food (and lots of it!) and nice present-opening.

 

Terribly sorry you're still sick.

True Grit is one I fear I many not be able to see in theater. I'm the only one in my family or friends that seems remotely interested in that movie. Along with what you said, I've read that it's pretty good...

I loved True Grit, as well - however, I beg to differ on the issue of cliche. I thought that a number of the plot points were really expectable, so when they happened, I wasn't surprised. The plot itself was a tad weak in my opinion; however, the great wit (rhymes with "True Grit") made that up for me. It was an enjoyable movie.

I was meaning cliche more about the girl, rather than the story...but i agree with you; guess i just enjoyed the overall thing to be finicky.
