So, the last few days: - Worked on Friday (suck!) which I shouldn't have because I technically had the day off, but news broke so I had to fix it. Sometimes, being a journalist is a wee bit aggravating that way, but at least the job got done. - Went to Jenn's mom's Chanukah party on Saturday. Dear Lord, there was way too much food there. - Slept until 1pm yesterday. - Saw Elf. Loved it. Winter has covered the nation now -- even in Los Angeles, where it's now jacket weather. I always enjoyed the Christmas season (as much as I bitch about it) because it brought a little color and light and fun to the bleakness that is several months of freezing cold, lack of green and short days that is winter in the Northeast. Christmas was bright and shiny and all lit up. So now that Christmas is over, the bleakness of winter will set in, and everyone will hunker down for the next couple of months to wait until the thaw. But the upside is... at least I won't have to listen to those thrice-be-damned Christmas carols anymore -- four weeks is enough.
