this was one of the more enjoyable christmases i've had since being a kid. i think because everyone in the family has their own money to spend--as in my brother has his shit together enough to receive AND give presents, and isn't all depressed and mopey. i made some pretty good scores: a 32 in. flat screen tv for my new apartment (i can finally get rid of that little shit i had in college!), and my brother gave me $500 in amazon.com money. i'm gonna act a fool! i think i'll get a dvd player, boots, cds, books, oh my! while i was christmas shopping this weekend i was already acting like a cd/dvd buying fool. for myself. i just can't pass up $4.99 classics like Clueless, Forrest Gump, What's Love Got to Do With It, The Nutty Professor, Now and Then, and another one i can't think of right now. and even though i'd already downloaded them, i got The Evolution of Robin Thicke, Nas' Hip Hop is Dead, Panic! At the Disco, and Kelly Price's This is Who I Am. my first gospel album. i always wanted to get some gospel, but i never knew what i liked. but borders has this cool little device where you can scan any cd and listen to it. best buy needs to invest in that.

and then my parents, brother, and i went to see the movie i think every black family in the country has been waiting for. if you've been living in a bubble (or maybe you're just in law school like all of my other friends who've been MIA) for the past six months, i'm talking about Dreamgirls. the four of us haven't been to a movie together since men in black 2, and all of us enjoyed it! it was entertaining, and most of the songs were good. whenever i see a movie that just throws me right into the action i have to adjust, because i'm used to a lot of exposition from reading so much, and it just kind of rubs me the wrong way, and i have to remind myself not to judge too early. but it was cool. i might get the soundtrack.

i need to go wrap these gifts for gramma so my dad can take them to north carolina with him, because i'm definitely not going. i'm not trying to make that drive.
