the most wonderful time of the year, almost, apparently
the holiday season is itching to start, which is to say that every commercial venue around the country is waiting to pounce like a cougar come friday. of course, they’re doing their best to sneak it in early (see my last post about b&n), but for the most part, friday is when it all begins.
i had to scrape the car again this morning. i have been informed that it is possible to park my car in the underground garage via ill-gotten means: stepping on the weight sensitive cord just inside the person-sized-garage-door opens the vehicle-sized-garage-door, circumventing the magnetic card system; regardless, i choose to park outside, on account of honesty, stoicism, or habit (i am not entirely sure which). i have complained to several people about how cold it was a few days ago, but seeing how as many of these people are from minnesota, where it was colder and snowier, i have been casting seeds on the rocks. on the bright side, though it is dark when i go home at night, at least it’s light when i drive to work in the morning. with the encroaching darkness i will have nowhere to turn but to the brightly lit commerical outlets.
thanksgiving this year is just me and lea. we are taking a bow to brian shaul and having steak for the main meal. mmm, red meat. it should be awesome. on the one hand, it is a bit sad that i am to be spending my first thanksgiving away from my immediate family; on the other hand, i am sure the time with lea will be wonderful. i am still spending christmas in northfield, so if any of you who read this will be there over that particular holiday weekend, give me a ring.
