Well, I’ve been having a good time with my long weekend. I bought a DirecTiVo box on Wednesday night from Circuit City for $50. They’re normally $100, but this one had been returned to the store. There really aren’t that many shows I like to watch on TV, but it seems I’m never home for the ones I do want to see, so this should work out pretty well. I’m already rather happy with it, since it’s recording Invader Zim as I sit at work and type this.

For Thanksgiving, I went to my mom’s house for turkey dinner. It was just my mom, Ralph and I, so it was pretty cool. I’m not entirely thrilled by big family get-togethers. It was a great meal, with turkey, stuffing, canned cranberry sauce (the best kind), mashed potatoes, lima beans, my mom’s home made rolls (very tasty), and probably some stuff I’m forgetting. It was great. Ralph was sick though, which kindof sucked.

After dinner there, I went over to Andrea’s parents’ house, where I watched Andrea play some freaky game that involved cards and grabbing little squeaking dolphins. I have no clue what was going on. After a while we wandered over to her apartment and hung out for a while. It was fun.

Friday I didn’t really do much of anything. Just loafed around the apartment and watched TV and fiddled wit h the TiVo box.

Saturday, I went to Jason’s house for a bit. We watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, which I had not seen before. I thought it was pretty cool. After that, I went to meet Andrea at Uno’s by the mall after she got out of work. Then I just kindof wandered home and went to bed.

And today, I’m sitting at work typing this, getting ready to go back home to get Simon’s birthday present, then wander to my parent’s house for cider and stuff, then it’s off to Jason’s house to deliver the present. Then I’ll probably meet up with Andrea when she gets out of work.

It’s been a good relaxing weekend I think. I havn’t done any of the things that I kindof wanted to do, like clean the apartment, but I don’t really care that much. I did talk to my Dad, and it sounds like he’s going to be coming out this way around Christmas with some furniture for me, which will be cool. I guess I’ll have to clean before then.

Hmm… I need to do my gift shopping too. And soon.
