Alright, I'm back from my Trip to Virginia. Hope that you all had a great holiday, whatever it may have been. Back to my regularly scheduled life.

The trip wasn't bad, and I liked seeing all my relatives again, but I really don't like traveling for the holidays. Dealing with crazy drivers in other states drives me nuts. I have to deal with the idiots around my area of the world, and they're bad enough. You get near the capital, and it goes from bad to AAAHHHH!!!! THIS IS MY LANE, NOT YOUR'S!!!!! Although my family's lucky that I didn't leap out of the car and attempt to egg the White House (Most of you should know how I feel about Bush).


I went to go see a few movies too:

Walk Hard: A fluff parody that I would only recommends seeing if you have both (1) seen Walk the Line and (2) laugh uproariously at fart jokes. I have a feeling that the audience is fairly small. It was funny, but I'd say that I probably couldn't sit through it again. In all honesty, it felt like a Mad TV skit that went on far too long. If you're looking for a movie that would be funnier with alcohol, you don't have to look further. I have a theory that a couple beers or a few shots of bourbon could make that movie funny again. Can't really recommend it to anyone though.

Sweeny Todd: Fantasitc movie. Johnny Depp and Helena Boham-Carter both do fantastic jobs, and surprisingly, so does Sancha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman (who knew they could sing?). But this adaptation was a great accomplishment, a great tribute to the stage play, and presents a bizzare view of the world that only Tim Burton can create. Loved every second of it. Go see it. Now. Go on, I'll wait...

...There, you see? Good, wasn't it?



I'd like to take a moment of your time to discuss presents for Christmas. I have to say, that my mother, for all her attempts, has trouble with video games. Now, she doesn't have any problems with any other types of items, but when it comes to games, she has an abnormally difficult time with things. I'm beginning to think that she does it on purpose. She, in the past, has bought the wrong game entirely (nothing says Mortal Kombat like Primal Rage), the right game for the wrong system (no...I need Halo for the PC, I don't even OWN a X-BOX), but now, she's topped her past accomplishments. I received Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii for Christmas this year. Which is great, it's what I asked for, there's only one system that it's on, so we have the right system. All good right? Except...It's in Spanish. That's right, Spanish. She bought the wrong language. I laughed about that for a long time. I don't blame her for it, because she's not really into that scene, I just find it amusing. I love my mother, but I think she doesn't check what she's buying sometimes...

So to all who are buying games for your friends, family, whatever; please check the box, otherwise you might find you have bought the wrong thing.
