Butterflies and Chucks

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Oh, Christmas.. we get so excited about you months and months in advance.. yet you arrive quickly and after one day, you're over.

My family and I spent Christmas at my house this year, and it was fun. We used to live in an apartment and we very rarely invited people over because there weren't enough square feet to accommodate more than 4 people at a time. (Okay, I'm exaggerating.) It was great because aaall my relatives from my mom's side came over- my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. There's nothing like preparing your house, doing last minute cleaning (i.e. vacuuming like crazy, making your bathrooms presentable and running around hiding things under your bed), then waiting at your front door and watching everyone arrive, family by family. But the best part is watching everyone laugh and have fun while being at your house. The night consisted of lots of food, dessert and Guitar Hero: World Tour. Oh yes, I plugged my wii in and we started playing at about 6pm.. and turned it off at about 11:30. I think I must have heard Eye of The Tiger at least 40 times last night. Everyone had a go, even my (colourblind) grandpa. He was surprisingly better at the drums than me. I can't even complete one minute of a song.

I ended up going to bed at 1am, and woke at 11. Mike bought me the season 1 boxset of The Monkees and I watched the first disc today. Knock it all you want, I don't care. I love it. Same goes for Perfect Strangers, which I found at JB Hi-Fi for $16! Now I'm just waiting for Welcome Back, Kotter. I wanted to check out the Boxing Day sales today but I really could not be bothered leaving the house. I do hope there's still some good stuff in my size.

I'm really enjoying my holidays. So far, I've spent most of the time watching tv shows on my laptop. I've just started watching Chuck (Josh Schwartz, you are amazing) and I've almost finished the first season of How I Met Your Mother. Yes, I know- but better late than never. I'm rather upset that Pushing Daisies was cancelled. It's quite disturbing to know that quality shows are being flushed down the toilet while Two and a Half Men is in its sixth (?) season.

I'm enjoying my holidays so much that I kind of don't want to go back to uni. I don't even know what units to do next semester! I was planning on majoring in Cultural Studies, but on second thought, I didn't really enjoy those classes that much. I really loved Linguistics, but job opportunities are there for grammarians?

I've noticed lots of my friends have been joining Twilight fangroups. Yeah I'm still not buying into that sparkly vampire shit.
