Wow, this has been a full week. In these short few days we’ve had on break so far, I done a great deal of my science fair project, done most of the written stuff more my history project, written more English journals than I had ever done previously in my life, and helped make almost ten batches of cookies. It was actually about when I had covered my hands, most of my face and my eyebrows in a thick layer of left over melted chocolate chips that I realized I had done enough baking, and that it would be very hard to clean my face up (I would have taken a picture of myself, but, you know, I would have gotten chocolate over everything, so…).

Well, it’s Christmas Eve today, not that I’m getting that excited (see my first post about holidays). I’ll actually be getting up at about five tomorrow to drive to Richmond and get on a plane to Fargo. That’s right, the place where it snows in October, and supposedly feels like -6F right now according to weather.com. Don’t get me wrong, I love Fargo, I love the snow, I love cold weather, but I have become slightly habituated to the 50 degree weather we had today.

But now that I’m done with all of the homework I set aside for myself to do before I left (though I still have to pack), it’s time to settle down and get ready to watch A Christmas Story on TBS who always shows it 12 times in a row. Speaking of movies, I watched My Neighbor Totoro a few days ago (it’s an awesome movie by Miyazaki, who if you haven’t been able to tell by now I worship)! True, it was the weird one Fox released about ten years ago, not the new version that was supposed to come out next year but won’t thanks to stupid corporate legal things that I can’t think of any good analogies for at the moment! But it was still something.

Before I go, I would like to give you a little hint as to what my next post will be about, see if you can understand what it will be: “I think Jon Voight has a strange obsession with the all-seeing-eye”. So until I write again, remember that the holidays are about family, togetherness, and the only chance I will have in a long time to have to look no further than my lips for warm Hershey’s chocolate. Later,

i feel your pain. i was in much the same situation yesterday, except instead of chocolate it was merangue and pledge furniture foam… on separate occasions. i have developed a loathing for anything lemon-scented, so i doubt you will see me cleaning anything until… next christmas.

the christmas specials are getting really annoying…

Yeah, I get really sick of not finding anything on TV except movies life “A Christmas Wish”, “The Christmas List”, “The Christmas Wish List”, “Miracle Blah”, “Christmas Blah Blah”, and so on. A Christmas story is pretty much the only one I like (it’s a classic, come on). Oh, and that whole coated in a thick layer of chocolate thing can be taken a bit more literally. Ok, so it might have been a bit more intended than I made it seem, but they say cocolate is very good for your skin…

chocolate is just good in general… that fact that it tastes good is a bonus.

a christmas story is quite good

you know, we only hear about how good pledge is at polishing wood… but it has made my skin rather shiny. i really hope this comes off soon
