Benjamin Button

It's been a rather relaxing week-- of course, that IS the point of breaks.

Christmas was on Thursday. I'm not really sure that we made it outside the house that day. Ate lots of delicious food, opened presents, hung around. All the makings of a good day.

Friday we went to the mall for some shopping (clothes from urban outfitters!) and then we all went out to see a movie (the Curious Case of Benjamin Button) Overall we decided that we really enjoyed the movie, however, it was a tad long. But definitely worth seeing if you haven't already. Friday night we ate dinner and then I got a text from Eric saying he was on his way home! He had a 14 hour plane ride back from South Korea where he and some other ABT members were performing the Nutcracker with the Korean Ballet. Surprisingly enough, he's still alive and kickin' despite the enormous amount of jetlag that plagues most travelers.

Today we took a walk through the back alleys of northern NJ to the bank (just kidding about the alleys..), ate some more good food, played balderdash and now we're all getting ready to go out to dinner!

This video is just something I found on my random intraweb searchings.. thought it was interesting.

This is a video worth the full 1 minute and 34 seconds of your life it takes you to view it.

Sorry in advance if you do not agree with the views of it, I just thought it was humorous and worth passing on. 

In other related news, I watched the debate tonight (or part of it, anyway) between Obama and Mr. Blinky-Pants. Goodness that man blinks a lot. I didn't really notice it at first but after I did, I didn't hear a word he said. Oops :) 

In unrelated news... today was KIWI day at Gracies!! Before coming here, I didn't even know I liked kiwi so much. Surprisingly, Gracie's (known for their less than average food) has amazing fruit, who would have thought? So on kiwi days, which only come once in a blue moon, I load up on it! 

Hmm, I think I should probably get back to my homework. I've spent over 6 hours painting today.. I'm covered from head to toe in black and white paint. Fortunately I only have one class tomorrow, yay! 3d was canceled for this week which has resulted in lots of unclaimed time (normally occupying 6 hours of my life). Tomorrow night I think I'm going to a volleyball practice in the SLC and then a group of us are going to see Night at the Roxbury, a free movie showing on campus hosted by CAB.
