Holiday times!
I've been doing various stuff for the Holidays!
For X-Mas, we went to another family's place up in Maryland- which was a great time, they had good food, their house had a pupperfish and bearded dragon and chameleon, and it was fun! Turkey and roast beef. They also had a massage chair which I used to rest up for the way back, which was needed.
DC at night, for the first time, with fog, and one of the bridges half-closed. At some points it was really hard to even tell where the road curved! And didn't see where the road split at places til I was right on it. It was really good that I had my dad there for directions, I was saying how I'd probably have to pause and mentally rest for a bit, but then got into familiar territory and woosh, so much more pleasant driving, it was pretty interesting and for the next few days whenever we were in the car together I couldn't help but mention how much more pleasant it was to drive in normal turf in comparison.
Actual present stuff we did, like, books, cloths, pretty standard our-family stuff, it was nice. Oh yea, and my dad got a really cheesy small artifical tree that blew little foam 'snow' over itself and then caught it in an umbrella. We also got new bathroom mats and those are so soft and fun to walk on....
I also saw Into the Spider-Verse. Very visually interesting movie! And a type of film that'd never happen a decade ago or even five years ago, but we've reached a superhero saturation point and enough versions of Spider-Man specifically where you can, with no buildup, go, "Yea, here's a film with 5 spider-people. And the main one? Ain't Peter." Spider-Gwen was the best of the bunch, but it was solid all-around.
Also? Happy New Years!
