I went out with some friends tonight and had 1 drink (ONE DRINK!) and I have the absolute worst headache right now.
Having low tolerance to alcohol SUCKS. Waaahhhh.

I hate losing an hour of sleep for Daylight Savings time.
YAY UCLA! 😀 I’m SO winning my office pool right now.
Awesome.
So I *finally* watched Elizabethtown. Hmmm. Alie, you were right — I didn’t like it that much. Maybe I just didn’t get it? Oh well. At least Kirsten and Orlando were pretty. And the soundtrack was AMAZING. So it wasn’t a complete waste of 2 hours. Next up is Walk the Line. YAY.
Argh. I still have to do my taxes. NO FUN.

I GOT MY DRIVER’S LICENSE TODAY!!!

new favorite quote
My new favorite quote:
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
— Neil Gaiman
I love that. SO. MUCH.
happy new year
christmas gifts
I had a fabulous Christmas. And I hope all of you did as well! Southern CA was gorgeous. Such a nice change from the rain that’s hitting the Bay Area right now. I spent a day with my best friends in LA and another few days with my dad and family in Cerritos so it was a whirlwind long weekend and I’m really sad it’s over. I went back to work today and OMG, it was rough. I want to be back on vacation. *sob*
Before the holidays are officially behind us, I want to share 1 more great Christmas song I found.

Jack Johnson – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
I LOVE JACK JOHNSON. 😀
Posting my annual Christmas haul so I have this on record somewhere. I must have been very good this year (this is very questionable) because Santa was SO AWESOME to me.
happy holidays
My flight leaves for Southern CA at 6:30 (!!!) tomorrow morning and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go online during the next few days so I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday!

christmas wishlist
ARGH. I am SO SORRY if you tried to visit my site on Thursday and it was trying to make you download some evil trojan virus. I didn’t do it… I SWEAR! I think someone hacked into my blog archives and remotely tried to execute some code. I took the entire Movable Type installation down, re-installed it, and also had my host do a search for any other malicious files that might be lurking about… the site has been given the all clear. PHEW. Again, so sorry. 🙁
So… I need some help. I went shopping ALL DAY on Wednesday and did not find a single thing for my dad. He’s absolutely the hardest person to shop for EVER cause he doesn’t *need* anything and offers no help whatsoever. For every other holiday (birthday, Father’s Day), I usually get him some sort of clothing item. But that’s getting a little tired, you know? So… I’m wondering what all of you get your dads for the holidays? Any suggestions?
And I’ve been meaning to do this meme…
Christmas Wishlist
* Make a post to your blog. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (“I’d love a Snape/Hermione icon that’s just for me”) to medium (“I wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (“All I want for [insert seasonal celebration here] is a new car/computer/house/TV.”) The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
* If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
* Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your blog so that the holiday joy will spread.
* Surf around to see who has posted their list. And now here’s the important part:
* If you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. Sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use–or even know where you could get someone’s dream purebred Basset Hound for free–do it.
* You needn’t spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to be someone else’s holiday elf–to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not–it’s your call.
* There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just…wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.
1. Holiday cards!
2. A tutorial on how the heck to customize the layout for a Coppermine gallery. I just DON’T. GET. IT.
3. Wallpapers of my ‘ships (Pacey/Joey, Harry/Hermione, Ephram/Amy, Nathan/Haley, etc). I prefer 1600×1200 (that’s the optimal resolution for my laptop) but anything 1024×768 and higher works too.
4. Music recs. I listen to pretty much everything but country (sorry). Some favorite artists are NSync, Britney, The Postal Service, Kanye West, Jack Johnson, Death Cab…
5. On that note, an iTunes gift card/certificate.
6. Starbucks gift card.
7. Your favorite quotes from TV shows, movies, songs, people.
8. A Pacey/Joey mood theme. I know I don’t ever post on LJ but maybe I can figure out a way to use it here.
9. Anything from my Amazon wishlist.
10. Suprise me. 😀
Send me an email if you need my address. And if anyone has also posted a wishlist on their blog/LJ/mySpace, please let me know in the comments so I can be sure to take a look. 😉
hp track jacket
I *must* find this Harry Potter jacket. Look at it — it’s so cute! Why is it sold out online?!
Tracking down this jacket will be my mission this weekend. It will be mine. 😀
thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!
🙂
I think I’m going to explode. I have eaten SO MUCH food today. Rob and I had his brother and wife over today and we split the cooking responsibilities. I was in charge of the ham (which I bought from Honey Baked — yum!), candied yams, stuffing, spinach/artichoke dip and pumpkin pie. Susie, Rob’s sister-in-law, made the turkey, biscuits, garlic mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. HOLY COW. It didn’t really sound like THAT much food when we were planning the menu but seriously, we each had about 2 rounds of food and we barely put a dent in any of the dishes. I’m going to be eating leftover Thanksgiving dinner ALL WEEKEND.
Tomorrow Rob and I plan on checking out a few Black Friday sales… possibly Target and Best Buy. Yeah, it’s going to be a zoo but they have toys and DVDs on sale! We can’t resist.
Anyway, before I head off to bed, I want to wish Cat a very Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one.
