… so I’m back.

The downtime and server trouble is one long frustrating story that I just don’t want to get into right now. Blah. *So* not what I needed right now what with the holidays approaching and work causing enough stress. Sadly I lost a few months of blog entries but no sites or databases. Phew… my paranoia pays off finally. I’m just so sad that some of my hostees lost their files — I hope no one is too mad at me. I feel responsible. 🙁 Bad server.

Anyway, I turned the downtime into a mini-hiatus for myself. I wasn’t on the internet as much as I usually am and I actually had the time to do stuff I keep telling myself I have to do like clean out my exploding closet, bring donations to Goodwill, make my travel arrangements for the holidays, etc. I also found myself watching tons of movies — I saw…

— Love Actually — RAVE! I adore this movie — Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman… need I say more? 😉
— Elf — Another RAVE! Too funny. “Santa! I know him!” Bwah. Will Ferrell rocks.
— Matrix Revolutions — Errr. I’m torn. It was a good movie but as the ending to the trilogy? A little disappointing, I have to say.
— Scary Movie 3 — Funny but totally forgettable. Cool cameos though.
— Gangs of New York — I’ve heard so many bad reviews about this movie but I really enjoyed it. Leo and Daniel Day-Lewis were excellent.
— Terminator 3 — Meh. I expected more — and all I got was a set up for T4. I watched this and kept thinking, “omg, Arnold is going to be the governor of my state in a few days.” So weird.

I think that’s it. OH! OMG! I finally downloaded the new Harry Potter trailer. Eeee! It has a really haunting feel to it. I wish it was June already, lol.

But for now, I’m just excited for tomorrow — right after work, I’m going to head over to Best Buy to pick up the new Britney album (yes, I’m a Britney fan :P), the extended edition of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and hopefully the season 1 DVD set of The West Wing. After tomorrow I’m not going to have any money left for Christmas presents! Hehe.

And I’m off to catch up on my dailies… it’s been so long…
