So, I'm not a big Christmas celebrator - I generally hang out with friends 'n stuff, but basically, since I left NY and my Italian peeps (who have an amazing Christmas eve tradition), mostly I hang out with friends and catch up on movies.
Left work mid-afternoon yesterday and went to see "The History Boys", which is a film based on a play (originally from London, then Broadway). The original cast starred in the movie.
It was excellent, but definitely not for everyone. It's a thinking person's movie. It's about characters and relationships and time and how circumstances affect the future.
I really enjoyed it and there were several Oscar worthy performances in there.
Other flicks I hope to see over the long weekend (we have Monday and Tuesday off) include the two "Good" movies (The Good Shephard and The Good German), Dreamgirls (I love my musical theatre - don't like Bey0nce or Eddie Murphy, but I hear it's excellent) and Little Children.
So, I'm just sorta blah. Slept most of the day. Been on those super-duper antibiotics to get rid of a cough I've had since Thanksgiving, but it's gotten worse not better. Maybe that's why I'm blah. Or maybe I'm a little down. I've been eating really crappy since the power went down. That certainly doesn't help.
Lots of great cards and boxes from friends though. I'm saving the boxes until Christmas - it's just more fun that way!

I've got some friends who still have no power. They're coming over for Xmas Eve dinner tomorrow. It's the woman who dives at the aquarium and her husband. If you wanted to drop by, you could, but we're having rib roast, so it's not something you'll eat... We weren't really planning anything at all. Just when I found out they still didn't have power, I called to ask if they wanted to come over. So if you wanted to drop by and visit, it'd be no big whoop.
