happy late thanksgiving, and all that. i'd rather think about thanksgiving for a little while still, and extend that idea, instead of admit that even going to target on a saturday night at the beginning of the christmas season was an manaical ordeal i wish to not experience again. lesson re-learned: parking lots during december should be avoided at all costs. (if not for the cars, but those drivers.... )

it's quite amusing, that dead space between 2 little white lines turning into such an conquest. i love the fact that during the whole time these knuckleheads are ripping around the lot, looking for the 'closest' spot they can muster, they would _die_ before parking in one of the MANY open spots one section farther away. i guess the fact that those 25 extra feet adding all of 10-15 seconds to their journey to the entrance is too much for them to bear. and i love the people that force their way around like they're entitled or something. do they practice those scowls and jeers? you'd think there's a class somewhere that i wasn't informed about.

anyway, did the real traditional thanksgiving again this year with mom. went to black angus and had filet mignon. i think she had the prime rib. yeah, we're doing our part. after dinner, we saw unbreakable (it was packed, by the way.. since when did we sneak out of the house while grandpa is asleep on the couch to go catch a flick on thankgiving evening??) which was a very well-thought-out movie. go see it, but don't read anything about it first. many things the critics say can ruin the story. and we wouldn't want that.

hung around here most of the weekend. saw a bunch of movies with friends (unbreakable again, charlies angels, men of honor, rented rudy and tombstone...) oh, and allow me to proclaim just how cool charlie's angels was... i went in there expecting pure crass, but was presented with a playful, campy comedy. we were all into it, hollering and yelling and such. being in a group probably helped, but i left completely surprised with how much i enjoyed it.

and it wasn't just the chicks...
