Bottle #2

Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic. I tried cooking my Tofurkey in a crockpot this year, and it turned out great. Mom, along with making her turkey breast, also made her green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Good stuff.

Dad and I went to see Babel afterwards, which was terrific. I'm still a little shellshocked by it. Wow.

Once we got home, Mom wanted to watch The Break-Up, which I had Netflixed, and we just did. During that time, I proceeded to drink a whole bottle of wine. I don't think my parents noticed. In fact, I don't think they've noticed that I'm drunk.

I'm opening up bottle #2. It's Thanksgiving, after all.

My parents like to get up at 5am and go Christmas shopping on Black Friday. I can't think of what I want for Christmas. We make lists for each other, and the only things I can think of are too expensive to ask for for Christmas - namely, an I-Pod, which I've wanted for a couple of years now.

Yah! Brad Pitt!


I asked for an iPod to replace mine that died a year ago. I contributed $200 to it, though.

You really liked Babel? I saw it at The Charles last week. Shellshocked is a good word. Compared to Magnolia and Crash, I was waiting for some meaning or redemption to be revealed at the end. I thought it was a great movie, beautifully filmed, but unpleasant to watch, as I kept waiting for the next bad thing to happen. That being said, I'd watch it again (Gael Garcia Bernal doesn't hurt.)

Maybe you can ask for an Ipod Shuffle ($79, 240 songs).
