I swear to god, anyone who says Christmas is a season for family has never met mine.
Aside from wanting to strangle my older brother about 90% of the time, Christmas was enjoyable. got some very shiny gifts including an I-Pod from my parents which A) Suprised the hell out of me and B) Made me giggle like a little girl.
Also got a giant squashy fluffy blanket that is insanely warm and shall not be leaving my side all winter, along with an assortment of movies and music that kept me well entertained during the whole 2 days I had off for break.
Also have gone a bit mad for the movies, went and saw Memoirs of a Geisha, King Kong, and The Producers all in the last 3 days. Memoirs: not as bad as I feared, little details in some cases were wrong, but overall well done. Except for the last 20 minutes in which they just seemed to have lost the script and did whatever came to mind. King Kong: damn. Holy shit was that well done, I swear to god Peter Jackson delights in doing movies that everyone tells him are impossible to make. And he does it damn well too. Producers: Spent the whole film killing myself laughing and trying to catch my breath. So wonderfully funny.
Also caved to Temptation (Re: KT bludgeoned me into it) and bought an evening dress. Black velvet floor length dress that I adore but have been putting off buying for monetary reasons and the fact that I have absolutely nowhere to wear the damn thing. But, now the new years party has had a dress code enforced on it so I get to slink about in the lovely dress. V. pleased.
Forced KT to buy an equally shiny dress, her exclaimations from the dressing room of "No! You were supposed to look nasty so I wouldn't buy you" should give you a hint as to her state of mind upon trying it on. Well worth it though. Can't wait till new years, and only 8 Days till the con!
