A Busy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving vacation! Hanging with friends and family, lots of great dinners (Sergio's Sarava, Lola, and, of course, Thanksgiving dinner at home), out on the town practically every night (the usual haunts, plus the Velvet Tango Room, which is classy indeed).
I saw three movies: Unstoppable (the action/disaster movie for train nerds, actually quite fun), Skyline (great special effects, terrible dialog and characterization), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (the other movies were doing an increasingly snappy job of abridging the books, this one reverses that trend; also it really feels like half a movie, since it is).
These weeks are always terrible for getting in exercise, but I did run a mile with Markos (who's training for police academy admissions) and clocked in at about 8.5 in the cold. I dread to look at the scale when I get back, but can't wait to redouble my efforts.
My quest to improve my wardrobe has turned from "this is something I'm working on improving" to a full-time obsession. My latest problems: Getting some warmer stuff for winter, getting casual button shirts that actually fit well, another round of shoe shopping (my formal shoes already don't fit well, my sneakers are getting ready to bite the dust).
