Christmas after.

Hooray for vague subject lines.

Anyhoo, my last few days have been pretty darn good. Christmas eve we all watched The Princess Diaries 2, which I must admit was good (plus, Anne Hathaway is a serious hotty), then I watched Hero, which was slow but good fun. I've always disliked the Crouching Tiger style of fighting and the movie itself, but I think Hero did the same type of fighting but a bit better. More actual fighting than leaping and such I suppose. Plus, more killing. And there's nothing more freaking cool than to watch people take on a million arrows and win.

But as I wa saying, the eve was good, and Joel came over and was later followed by his mom. We all talked till late then went to bed.

Christmas was fun. We all got a lot of stuff, which was surprising to me, but we did get each other a lot of smaller things with a few big things. I got Buffy Season Seven, a few books, Paper Mario for Gamecube, a bunch of sweets, a nifty smelling candle, a bunch of clothes (I'm not sure how fond I am of the Pacsun and Billabong logos, but the clothes are nice), and about $125 worth of gift cards to Borders. I'm also told that I'm getting two more months paid for City of Heroes and that they ordered the cd set of Keith Green's music, but the Christian Bookstore doesn't have them in yet. Also keen, yesterday my grandma gave me a card and a check for $100.

Now I just have to figure out if the bank will cash it or not. Apparently banks don't like to cash checks if you don't have at least that much in your account already, which I think is both weird and a big load of crap, but it does explain why they've kept giving me grief every time in the past. I just wish someone at the bank had actually told me this. They just hem and haw and end up cashing my checks I get after like 10 minutes of waiting, but not once to they say why. At least my dad is here to tell me such things. Stupid bank people.

More to come soon.

Soon.

Is this soon enough? (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go down one post)

Yesterday was fun too. We all went to my grandma's in Boulder to see her for a bit and then go to brunch at this fancy restauraunt that I have forgotten the name of at present. Anyway, she didn't go with us, but my aunt did, and it was pretty good. I had an eggs benedict, which was quite well made.

After that, we all went down to a friend of the family's house. She thought we'd be later, so she wasn't home for like an hour, but she left the door open for us and we didn't have to sit in the cold for the time. We all went to see Meet the Fockers, except for her husband, who saw Flight of the Phoenix. I would have gone to see Phantom of the Opera if it had been there and at that time. But anyhoo, we saw it, and I have to say that it was okay. It was funny for the most part, but the whole thing was like one big ball of sex jokes and it just wasn't that great. I think the first movie was better.

Then we all went back, ordered a Papa Murphey's pizza (they make them much better there than here in town), and sat down to watch Malcolm in the Middle, followed by an hour of watching about the tsunamis in Asia. Crazy stuff.

All in all, I've had a great weekend. Now, to go spend my money (probably a bit of it will go towards a few dvd seasons, such as the second set of Family Guy and, if I can't find it, the first season of Roswell), and see about finding a theater that is playing Phantom of the Opera. That reminds me. I had an interesting thought for a radio station on the drive up to Boulder. They should so totally make a radio station dedicated to playing show tunes. It would definitely make for more interesting long rides, plus, you just know everyone would be singing along.
