kitsjayI hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I had a really good time. Everyone seemed to like their gifts really well--which is good, considering I bought Dad's at 1:30 Christmas Eve. Whoops.
I gave Chris two movies, but Chris is a huge movie buff so I was worried that he might have them already.
"If you do, I can return them," I said.
He didn't have either, but started laughing when he saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
"Open yours from me," he said.
I opened mine and found the sequel, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Tashina actually got me the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe which was so incredibly perfect.
Mike was opening his three books, and Sean said, "Ooh, yoink," on the first one, then "double yoink" on the second, then yahtzee. I gave him two books on quantum physics and one collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov. Everyone in my family was eyeing them enviously, wondering when we could possibly steal them. We are such geeks.
Speaking of geekiness, my brother has a picture of Spock, Kirk, and McCoy from Star Trek on his wall in the billiard room. He has taught his one-year-old daughter to point out the characters. He walks her up there and holds her up, then says, "Where's Spock, Shannon? Where's Spock?" and she points to him. So hilarious. He also was looking at Kim's head and said, "Mur, she's got dry skin on her head. Mom, my baby is molting. She's like a lizard baby."
Then Mom chased him around saying, "Don't say that about my grandbabies!"
T'was fun.
Also went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets last night and it was really good! It didn't quite have the same charm as the first, but they used new jokes and the bad guy was unique and I really enjoyed it. Riley was still hysterical. Also, I saw a preview for Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian last night and was hitting Stef on the arm excitedly. That is going to be so amazing.
Oh, and a spot of good news! Good news: navel piercing not infected. Apparently I just have a freakily good healing mojo working, because it was healing over the ball at the end of the barbell. The doctor looked at it and had me lie down, then pushed it through which kind of hurt, but at least it isn't infected. She said that most of the redness and soreness was just from the ball being submerged.
Anyway, she told me to go back and get a longer barbell, which I'm sure they'll charge me for. Ugh.

I'm glad there's nothing wrong with your piercing. :)

Date: 2007-12-31 03:53 am (UTC)I know! It was cute, overall. I KNOW. I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO LOVE IT, I CAN TELL. Stef said she was not all that impressed with the first, but she didn't like the books either. No taste, clearly.
Lol, I'm glad too.

You're welcome! :)
