I finally made it to the Apple Store to check my email and family blogs, and reaized that it as been 3 months since I last updated my blog. Which is a bit ridiculous, but considering I still don't have internet access at my house, I think its a bit understandable. (I know I keep saying I'll get it soon, but Im not in a big hurry to add another monthly bill quite yet.) But now that big Bro hooked me up with the good ol' rabbit ears and I have 3 channels of television to watch, I think I'll go ahead and sign up for the internet sans TV. Which works for me. Sometime soon. I swear. Hehehehe.
Anyway. I've been waitng in here for the computer with the camera hooked up to it so I could take a picture of myself, but this family of three, (college age son, and parents) has been hogging it. Much like I've been hogging this computer. So we'll have a post with no pic for now.
It got COLD in New York over the last 2 days. Nothing like 28 degree weather with 30 MPH wind gusts to remind everyone what winter in New York is really like. I'm going to have to make it to Patagonia to pick up a new pair of long unders. They are essential to survive the winter in my opinion. Especially before we get to the REALLY crappy part of winter. The 2 degrees outside part.
Christmas season is under way. Sometimes I dream of a Christmas holiday without the dark side of the retail business behind it. Then I wouldn't be as grumpy at all of these people who make us retail workers work extra hours, get no vacations during winter, and generally make the holiday season feel a bit sour. I think it's because this time of year I get to see more of the Money Spending/Marketing side of things than the family togetherness/joy of the seasaon side. On the other hand though, I do get to talk to a lot of people from a lot of different places who arent as jaded about the whole experience. Like this lady who needed to some gift boxes for the last of her Christmas shopping. You could see the tension melt from her face when she walking away since she had finished her shopping early. Plus since I'm near Christmas Central there are all kinds of awesome tourist families with matching Santa Hats or Christmas Sweaters walking around. Nothing says family unity like 5 people walking around wearing pretty much the same exact thing. Also, I need internet before Christmas so I can take pics of all of the beautiful Christmas lights in my neighborhood. Some of these people go all out. I'm also real excited to have my lil' sis over for Christmas.
Speaking of which, I need to thank Big Bro again for making it out during Thanksgiving. I couldn't get the time off that I would have liked due to the brand new job, but we had a great time. I think I enjoyed sitting around drinking beer and bullshitting with my brother more than anything else. I finished the Turkey by Sunday night by the way.
I think thats it for now. I might cut all of my hair off. If I can convince myself to spend the 120 dollars on a haircut. I hope it snows soon. Real soon. You people all know how much I like the snow. I got a fancy pair of high heels. I figured it was time to have at least one pair. And I got a fancy dress (but it was from work, so it was only $30 bucks). Now I just need a fancy party!
That family is still using the other computer so I'm out of here. It's getting sweaty underneath all of my various layers of keep warm clothes.
