Unlike last year, the end of November actually feels like the holiday season. Just the fact that the first snow that we got was on Thanksgiving makes it seem like the holiday season alone. Ever since, it's been snowing little flurries at a time, but a big improvement from last year. It was pathetic last year. We got our first snow in October, but didn't get anymore until January! That means there was no snow on the ground for Christmas. It sucked big time. But, other than snow, I just feel more into the spirit than last year. I've already watched a sh*tload of Christmas specials on television, including A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and the highly anticipated new special, Shrek the Halls (which IMO was better than Shrek the Third:P ). Oh, and I'm going to say this right here, right now:
A Charlie Brown Christmas>>>>>>>>>How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Yes, I said it. Charlie Brown just pwns all. Nuff said8). Oh, and I like Jim Carrey's version of The Grinch better than the 30-minute cartoon cl@ssic as well:P. Sue me. I've also watched a couple Christmas movies, too, including the modern day cl@ssic The Polar Express (all you haters that say it's too scary in certain spots need to grow some balls, seriously:| ). Also, the Christmas tree is up, Christmas songs are dominating variety radio stations everywhere, and I'm extremely stressed with schoolwork. IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D............oh yeah, tomorrow is the first day of December, too;).
I'm in a little bit of a dilemna, though. No, I'm not going to complain about something from school, even though I have a senior project that I need to start working on. I'm talking about what it is I want for Christmas: an Xbox 360. After seeing the price drop on the Arcade package, with the inclusion of a memory card, a wireless controller, and 5 arcade games, I immediately added it on my wish list. I mean, I'm not the type of person that plays online, and I don't play many games anymore, so I figure a memory card will do for now. But anyways, I convinced my dad, and it's a possibility I could receive one. There's one thing that's been bugging the hell out of me, though. With that damned "Red Ring of Death" defect I keep hearing about, I have no idea if it's a good idea to get one or not. Have they even been fixed yet or not? If I get one, I absolutely do NOT want to go through the situation where I'd be enjoying the hell out of Mass Effect, and then all of a sudden, my damn Xbox 360 malfunctions on me, and then I have to go through the painful process of waiting to get a new one. Nuh-uh, no sir, that is not me. I want my consules to LAST. So, if anyone could give me some advice on what I should do, please, by all means, share what's in your thoughts.
And now, I leave you with a couple movies scores, since I am too lazy to write reviews. Here they are:
As Good As It Gets--9/10
Panic Room--8/10
Yup, one movie where Jack Nicholson is at his best, and another movie where country singer Dwight Yoakum plays as another heartless criminal. In other words, two underrated movies that deserve to be checked out by anyone.
So, shortest blog I've done in awhile, but I'm tired of complaining about the same ol' stuff all the time, so to hell with it. Have a great weekend, and stay warm. There's a huge winter storm coming our way as I'm speaking, so.........ugh.
