The Christmas and the New Year
Holidays are behind and I want to post about them a little.
I was looking forward to Christmas for a long time but after our trip to Italy I kind of couldn´t go back in to the right mood. It didn´t help that I had cramps in my stomach on Christmas day and my parents had a little spat so the day was completely off. As always my grandparents and uncle were invited to spend the evening with us. They always eat at their house and come right after. This year we were kind of late so they came before our dinner. So we sat in the kitchen, eating quickly while my grandparents sat in the living room. It was awkward. Plus the potato salad was sour for some reason. Christmas dinner is supposed to be the best dinner of the year…oh,well. I got really cool presents, though, so I can´t complain about that. Then my dad and uncle were drinking a lot and I don´t like drunk people so I went to my room. Not really what I was hoping for. The best time was when we went to visit my uncle and aunt the next day. My cousin´s baby boy is so cute that you can help but smile when looking at him. And I´m not a baby person, so that says a lot.
Where Christmas was lacking the New Year compensated. I was back in Prague and my friends from Germany came over on 30th. It was great to see them again. Last time they were here was on my birthday in summer. We didn´t have any big plans how to spend the New Year eve. We were thinking about going to some club but it´s always over-priced on that night so we stayed at my place. I´m proud that I made some yummy spreads on a bread and everyone liked it. Maybe I´m not such a lost case after all.lol We watched The Blind side movie, played games, sang crazily, played with Nadine puppet. It was nice. We went out little before midnight to watch the fireworks. There´s one little park not far from my place where you can overlook the whole Prague. It had a nice view. We took a champagne bottle with us and toasted there. We were giggling and jumping around the place. When we hit my couch at 2 a.m. again we thought we could watch The Ugly truth but the minute the movie started we all fell asleep, except for Con who stayed up till the end laughing alone, poor her.lol. We moved to our respective beds at 4a.m.lol
We slept pretty long the next day, Con and Kat even till 3.pm. Crazy. We went to see Prague official fireworks which were starting at 6.p.m. Apparently the whole city decided to go there. I´ve never seen Prague so crowded before. All the trams were full, we couldn´t get into them. We had to change our route and I thought we wouldn´t make it on time. The firework was shoot from a boat from middle of the Vltava river. We went to Letna, trying to find some free spot with a view. So many people everywhere. The fireworks were beautiful, though. It was done to fit a music which was playing pretty loud all over the center. Some operas and with Beethoven´s Ode to Joy at the end. It was fun to watch the whole crowd to get through the narrow streets of Prague on the way back. The mass of people was moving slowly so we felt like we were in some demonstration.lol
And then we went ice-skating. Woohoo. It was evening skating so there wasn´t too many people, so it was fun. I wish I could skate better but I can hold my own.lol Our legs hurt really soon, though.Lazy us. We went back to my place and watched Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. It was way better than I expected. We laughed a lot and had a good time. Wish Lauren´s character was more in it.
We also managed to see two movies in the cinema. The Whip it! and The Couples Retreat.
I really liked Whip it! even thought I didn´t know the roller derby. I was like „Is this a real sport or did they make it up for the movie?“.lol. I like the atmosphere of the movie. I think this kind of movie can be either really good or really bad. Luckily for this movie it was the first. I think Ellen Page had a lot to do with it. She was very believable, I like her.
Well, and the Couples Retreat was kind of fun. Nothing to think about hard. I didn´t expect anything big from it, but I was in the mood to see something like that and I like some of the actors in it so why not. Nothing to remember, though.
When the girls left on Sunday I was left alone in very messy apartment with booze leftovers. Anyone wants to come to help me with the drinks?
Let 2010 bring lots of nice moments.
