Well what can I say? Merry Christmas everyone! I hope people have been enjoying whatever time off they have managed to get from work or school or both.
What was so important about December 25th? Yes, yes, Jesus was born. Let's get past that can we? Besides the man known as J-Christ probably doesn't want to be reminded that he's pushing 2010 years old now does he?
Well exactly one month from this past Christmas, I'll be sitting amongst a bunch of cardboard boxes I probably won't begin unpacking for another month in my new condo apartment. And suddenly I'm getting all sentimental about my current home (except the guy next door just went on his balcony again to talk about "Dude" this and "Dude" that while smoking a toke, or is it toke a smoke?).
So aside from fretting about the new place, the hoidays haven't been very eventful. I've eaten probably the rough equivalent of a cow in various meat products (and I assure you my stomach is sending me a fine thank-you very much for doing so) and have been pretty much sedantary etching out an imprint of my bottom on my sisters' sofa watching various shows and movies.
I managed to get ahold of the first 6 episodes of Amazing Race Asia and we went through them like a box of Ferrero Rocher.

I would like to thank Ab again for turning my attention to a television show. Actually Ab also got me onto the whole damn Japanese TV show kick about two years ago with...uh...Sailor Moon Live Action. So I may not listen to his suggestions anymore else I take root in front of the TV. Anyway, 6 shows in and I'm already resisting the urge to yell "FIXED" at the TV as my favourite teams drop out in swift order. One thing I have to say is that, in comparison to it's American counterpart, the teams are extremely polite often to a fault (and there have been too many jumping from huge heights tasks). But we'll see if the urgency of competition starts to drive the "mean" factor up a bit.
Other than that, I've managed to catch up with some holiday movie viewing. Casino Royale was great fun though I had trouble with the way Daniel Craig walked as if he were trying to hold a melon between his thighs. If you were a fan of Rocky and hated how that movie's characters were strip-mined in subsequent sequels then please go see Rocky Balboa. It's a fine bookend movie. Yes it's syrupy like Aunt Jemima but so was the first film if you think about it, and y'know, sometimes I like to eat pancakes and you need syrup! I also saw Blood Diamonds. Meh. Dicaprio was better in The Departed.
Well, back to work (and working out) tomorrow. Let the winter blahs begin! See ya around or before 2007!
