so last time i tried to publish it wouldn't go through... so it just got published now (free servers have their issues haha)
so christmas day is over. i pretty much knew what i was going to get. i got the panini maker i wanted. so now i can make hot and toasty sandwiches whenever i want lol. too bad i don't have 2 (one for at work) but that's just greedy. anyway so i tested that out on the bacon for breakfast. works pretty good ;p
i think everyone liked what i got them. but ya never know. and my sis got me the husy paw pants that i always wanted at uconn but never got. i think they are a different brand now so not like $85 anymore. that was crazyness.
other than that christmas is never picture perfect like its supposed to be. ppl get grumpy and have fights about whether flaps on hats stay sewed up or go down over ur eyes. pssh. but that's my family. maybe yours is different, but then again - maybe not.
i don't know what i'll be doing the next of week. but some of it will consist of taking a few things back. and uh.. enjoying not having to get up too early. not that i've been able to sleep in since i'm on a sort of sleep schedule now. (not waking up as early as i should for work but waking up before 9am on my own without the alarm)
so let's see... we watched 'the simpsons movie' last night. it was just like a really long episode. aka. nothing special. for some reason i got the impression that they were going to be superheroes in the movie... i don't know where that came from b/c that wasn't what it was about. same themes as always (saving the evironment, geeky lisa finding boyfriends, homer being a bad parent/husband, and marge being ever so faithful to homer... and bart well envying flanders kids was odd).
my mom bought my sis a bunch of music themed/dancing musical type movies. so we watched 'saturday night fever' which was... odd... and we don't know if it was the uncut version b/c there was more nudity that we expected. and ew travolta put on some pants. anyway at least he was wearing pants aka a dress in 'hairspray' b/c we watched that too. it was kind of funny he was playing the mom... but why he's a man? we wondered if he was dancing in the fat suit. or if they had like a woman double or something. i think i saw an old version of that movie.. i don't think it was a musical... and i think it was better. this reminded me of a disney movie with real people instead of cartoons. but put enough costumes on and you'll be a cartoon. as far as 'saturday night fever' i didn't think travolta was that great of a dancer... well he was better than that girl he chose as a dance partner. her outfits reminded me of a semi-recent madonna video. gah. horrible. and sadly madonna is in better shape. oh and i wonder if/why they never did a sequel? i mean... did he find a job in manhattan? could they stay just friends? the world will never know.
ok i'm going to go play with the "salad shooter" i got for xmas and help make dinner.

Oh, but Kara...you never knew? There IS indeed a sequel to Saturday Night Fever...it's named 'Staying Alive'....it has John's SNF character as a struggling dancer in NYC in the early 1980's (the film was made, I believe, in 1983). It is the most pretentious, pseudo-artsy, ridiculously insane movie ever made. It is SOO dated...perhaps the most dated film I can even think of...and are you ready for the coup de resistance?? It was directed by...Sylvester Stallone!!! (Travolta still playing Tony.) Oh my, Kara, you and your family should rent, and view this film, over the Holiday! It was voted by Entertainment Weekly as the worst sequel ever made, and it certainly deserves that recognition. It captures everything horrible about the early 80's (there was much good too, in that era, but this film doesn't bother with the qulity). So, enough about that, but if you do ever see the film, please let me know what you think of it, ok?? :)
It's really nice to have you posting again...I like how you write. I hope your Holiday will be much fun, and very relaxing. Take care, Kara, sincerely, Chris
