my dad has taken his pug to vermont, my brother and nicole have taken their pug to her family's. i'm pugless! and watching really bad movies. so...i've learned several things on this christmas day and have been left to wonder about several others:
the girl next door is the worst movie EVER. i'm currently watching it from the basement of my brother's house in connecticut. it's freezing. i can't wait to get back to the city tomorrow eve. but right now i'm at the mercy of this horrible piece of hollywood trash on the television. they put the killing moon in the soundtrack, that shouldn't be allowed! david gray is also on there, but he's more fitting to the movie. i'm not afraid to say it, i like david gray. his whispering sweet lyrics over piano makes me want to make out in slow motion in the rain...or something. i don't know what that means. i'm delirious with hunger. which brings me to what else i've learned this xmas...
...there is nothing opened on this holiday! the fridge is sans food and there's nowhere opened to sell me food. suddenly the six flights of stairs leading to and from my apartment in the city seem insignificant. if i was home they'd be the only thing seperating me from dinner right now.
on my quest for nourishment earlier, or rather upon realization i was on an unrealisitic quest, i drove to the beach down the street. it was really cold and it made me wonder what it must be like to be one of those people in the polar bear clubs. the people that jump in the ocean in the dead of winter. those people are crazy.
earlier i saw meet the fockers. which was funny in that the first one was funny and this one included all the same jokes. during the previews they showed one for the upcoming sequel to miss congeniality. subtitle: armed and fabulous. i'm wondering, because i've seen the first one but i forget, what unanswered questions were we the audience left with that warrants a sequel?!
finally, i'm wondering, does randy newman write the same song over and over again?
update: i'm watching before sunset now. i want to live in paris for a little while. it looks like it must smell like old books there.
Actually, most stuff is closed in the city on Xmas day too, except for the bodegas of course. And the Chinese food, because the Chinese restaurants know that all of us Jews want some dinner and don't want to cook. Are you saying there isn't one Chinese restaurant whereever you were in Connecticut? What do all the Jews do?
Oh ... my bad. (I kid ... I kid)

Just so your readers don't think your brother and sister -in-law are total jerks. You were invited to join us in a few meals on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There was a ton of food raning from bacayow (portuguese fish) to homemade chicken cordon bleu to low carb chocolate cheesecake and chocolate covered strawberries.

no one said you guys were jerks, nor was it implied. you even set up the internets for me downstairs, it was very nice!
