Christmas Comes But Once a Year

Denise Richards is hot, but a terrible terrible actress.

Last night, the little lady and I decided to have christmas a little early. Now, we were going to celebrate tonight, because I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my parents, but...one of her friends is back in town, and she's gonna go out tonight. That's probably for the best, because I have to do laundry, and pack, and watch the OC.

Speaking of the OC: I have seen every episode except for last week's. This bothers me. I like things to be complete, I like integers and rounding, I like boxed sets, I like strikes and spares, home runs, multiples of 10. So, at some point, I have to see that 'sode. It'll probably happen when I least expect it, when I'm not looking for it, when I won't understand what's going on. That's usually how good things happen, I suppose. Anyway, I like the OC, especially now that Ryan has stopped brooding/smoldering as much. Although, I do feel the show was a lot better when they didn't know that Seth was charismatic and sexy, and simply threw him in for some comic relief.

Ok, so we had christmas early. We exchanged presents. What did I get, you might ask? Well, its better to give than recieve, and so I'll tell you what she got first. An engraved bracelet, pink fuzzy slippers, and a "Sex and the City" board game. She loved everything. I got a christmassy sweater, and an "Oregon" hoody. I love both of 'em. Then we watched "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". One of my favorite shows, highly underrated. My roommate claims that it is overrated. To which I say...eh? It didn't win any awards, was only marginally successful in the ratings. How can it be overrated?

Well, this morning I'm sitting here at work, being Christmassy, and thinking about going home. I still call my parents house my "home" even though they moved after I went to college. I wonder what it is that makes me say "home".

I've decided to institute a "Running Thread". Something that will appear on every post a la Matty's "What I'm listening to" and "In other news". So, I've decided on "This will definately happen." Basically my predictions for the coming day/week/year/life. So, on with the inauguration (though Rehnquist is too sick to attend)

This Will Definately Happen: Jake will arrive in Mizzou in the Celeb. Enjoy the company of his mother for about 2-3 days, then get bored out of his mind. Follow this with some awkward drinking, and a few illicit bowls. Also....DB will eat a mayonnaise sandwhich.
