Ok, next year, I'm going to go out in july and do all of my Christmas shopping. It's probably extremely stupid to write that here because it won't happen, but it's a good thought. Whether I order gifts online or brave the masses to select them by hand, it appears that July would still be the month of choice. Crazy people+confused people+annoying people+ignorant people+fresh snowfall+crowded chaotic mall = authentic madness.
I managed to finally find Relient K's Christmas CD in the course of my travels. This is very good because I was able to return my friend's copy without going through the grieving process. Yeah, I'm a little obsessive. Relient K's music is so lyric-driven. I love it. I discovered that they also wrote a book, which I plan to obtain after the "no buy zone." This book has me extremely fascinated. Hint: it's called "The Complex Infrastructure of the Female Mind." No joke. I shall scan and read eventually.
I'm starting to finally feel Christmas-ish. I had some holiday spirit before Thanksgiving. School pretty much killed it and I've been awaiting its return. I was sad because I was convinced that I was getting old and cranky, but I really just needed an atitude adjustment. I'm working on it. Tomorrow will probably help. The Christmas party for all of the blind/visually impaired children, their families and their teachers is tomorrow. I was put in charge of the craft project and, yes, the event in which I get to make people sing. It will be fun and glittery.
I just saw a commercial for "the rhythm of the '90's" I thought it was funny. It's the pop music of my childhood; maybe I am old...
Ziggie was such a good boy today. He made me proud. He's sleeping and he's having vocal dreams; I'm sure it's nightmares about Christmas shopping at the mall.
Niente Senza Gioia!
