It's the Holiday Season!

Ahh December, December. What a month. Busy busy. I'm EXHAUSTED. It's almost over, one more week.

Looking back on my calendar, I've done a lot this month. We finished up the football season, lost in the playoffs which absolutely SUCKED. We were undefeated up until that point. And we played our hearts out in the freezing cold and snow, only to be robbed. Followed that up with an end of season football party which was off the hook. Dancing, drinking, sweating, etc.

Then came Santacon which was amazing. Picture hundreds of santas, elves, reindeer, etc running around Manhattan, drinking and having fun.

In between all that I got my culture of the year in. Saw Jeff's play Urge which was really something. And then I got to see some ballet performances at Julliard, a la the Baja's.

I've gone to four holiday parties. Done some secret snowflake, white elephant gift swapping. Contracted a rash/allergic reaction from something, went on 2 dates with a lame guy who was going through an 'existenstial crisis', realized that I am only attracted to boys who have girlfriends (and the worst kind: live ins at that!) and I ended it all last night with a cry fest at I Am Legend. All I can say about that is that I'm not a big crier, however when you throw a dog into the mix, all bets are off. And anyone who has seen it can vouch. I was in hysteric sobs, body convulsing, at a certain part of the movie. It left me emotionally exhausted.

Now it's Friday. I still have tons of shopping to do this weekend. The holiday spirit has been sucked from me. I need to sleep, shop, and sleep some more. Maybe try to see Juno at some point.

I've discovered new music along the way. I went to the Knitting Factory (first time!) and saw AM and Bob Schneider playing acoustic sets. It was pretty awesome. I had never heard either one of them before and now I'm hooked. I even talked to AM when he came off stage. I was standing at the little stage door and he came out and I told him his set was awesome and he did a great job! What I really wanted was to comment on his sweater vest but I couldn't find the words.

Napster has been advertising Blake Lewis' (of American Idol fame) new album. I finally decided to give it a listen and really, it's not half bad. I've listened to it about 3 times in the past two days. It's got a nice vibe going on.

So peace out, happy holidays to you and yours and safe travels.
