Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Best *NSYNC song ever. And to think, I had forgotten about that gem until I desperately searched Google in hopes of finding a title. If your cold, dead heart needs warming, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JUsgZOJB9U

So yeah, happy birthday, Jesus! It's a momentous day for Christ worshippers and Hallmark devotees alike, and I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas. I'm currently composing a list of all the activities I should indulge in in the next few hours while the majority of the country is opening presents or whatever it is people do the morning of the big day. 

My sister, brother-in-law, and big-kid-4-year-old-not-a-baby nephew did brave downtown on Christmas Eve yesterday, and the streets were only moderately packed with crazy, angry shoppers hungry for blood. We ventured into the mob for a good cause - to see Enchanted! While Sister and I proclaimed it "magical!", "fabulous!", "wonderful!", the two boys we were with were a little less impressed. But no matter - Amy Adams is eerily PERFECT as a Disney princess come to life, and I almost found Patrick Dempsey attractive and not smarmy. Not to mention James Marsden is so good as Prince Edward, it almost made me forget Disturbing Behavior...until my sister brought it up. 

In the spirit of Christmas, I don't think I can go into elaborate detail on the Britney paparazzi catastrophe that happened on Saturday, but all sick bastards who can't help themselves can search on Perez Hilton and find his SEVEN PART recap of Brit's disastrous night. Long story short, she visited like 3 gas stations, a Walgreens, hit up every public bathroom she could, cussed out the paparazzi, made up with the paparazzi, got in a car with one of them, and eventually took him back to a hotel with her. All of this was documented on video since, conveniently, her best friends in the world happen to carry cameras for a living. The paparazzo who had the misfortune of being entangled in Brit's web of skank, emerged from the hotel at 4 AM saying only that he needed cigarettes and that all they were doing was "having lunch." Don't be so quick to judge - in Britney's world, lunch may happen at 4 am. Okay, this is all very depressing, and not at all the kind of joy I want to spread on this joyous holiday I don't celebrate. So be well, my friends, and enjoy this Christmas. If anyone gets Guitar Hero, don't forget to invite your favorite Jew over to play...I heard that game kicks ass.

My friend got Guitar Hero for the Wii which i am on the verge of borrowing -- it's only a car ride away. However, i am loath to buy it because i hear the sound is in mono, not stereo, thus hampering the rock-out-ability of the experience. Activision has supposedly promised free upgrade cd's once they fix the problem so i may go for it after our friends let us test run the thing and wrest the guitar from our overheated hands. (She's not going to play it, apparently, till she's beaten Super Mario Galaxy.) I'll keep you posted on how it goes. We've got a projector screen.
