Ok...
Yossi and Jagger was simple, short, and sweet. Not really what I was looking for but it was fine anyway. Plus, it's nice to see a foreign film now and then. The Holiday was very cute and I liked it mucho ^_^ Maurice was good and then painful. Painful in the fact that you want to slap one of the characters because he's turned into a wussy douche. The movie was a very long tease but that's fine.
Gundam 00 is same old, same old. Nodame Cantabile is awesome and makes me happy whenever I watch it ^_^ I downloaded last week's Grey's because I love like, the last 5 minutes of the episode and will be making an icon from it. Since yesterday was Thanksgiving, I totally forgot about the new episode so I'll have to watch it at my dad's house (streaming goodness).
Thanksgiving was fun. Ben came up for his 5th(?) Thanksgiving in a row. We played Sorry and Uno a lot and I remembered how much I like to play board games :D First Thanksgiving was at my dad's. The dinner was done by the time we got there; we just spent a lot of time conversing which resulted in Ben and I eating as much as we could in 10 minutes and then running to the next Thanksgiving. My mother's Thanksgiving was held at a restaurant because it was the only wheelchair accessible place that my grandmother could get into. Unfortunately, she called in the morning and said she wasn't coming. Big surprise there. Anyway, I didn't have any dinner because I was full on the food from house #1. I wanted some dessert but the waiter wouldn't send over the dessert cart until after dinner. I told him I didn't have dinner but he just walked away. He was a douche the whole night and it sucks that tip was included in the bill. Later that night, Ben, my dad, and I went out to see the new James Bond movie. I liked Daniel Craig but I didn't like the movie. It felt unfinished and didn't really feel like a Bond movie. No Q? No gadgets. LAME! And what was up with the Bond girl(s) this movie? OH! The opening song absolutely SUCKED. It was really difficult to listen to and was sooooo weak. Disappointing overall.
Anywho...my paperwork for travel missed yet another deadline(go figure) so the earliest I'll hear about my flight information is Sunday night/Monday morning. Womp womp waaaaaaah. Kevin told me that he went out on Black Friday and bought us a Christmas tree and a Wii to put under it. I honestly would rather have furniture and rugs since there is no carpet in the apartment we're getting. Weird. I suppose I can deal with it for 2 1/2 years or whatever. Once we get back to the states and into a house of our choosing we can have carpeting (or hardwood!) :D
