Come and join us in the trenches

The last couple of weeks have been busy but fun for me. Went to the Walkmen/Dodos show on the 16th which was EPIC! I'd never seen either band live and rarely do I go to a show where all the acts put on a great performance. Earfarm took some great photos which you can check out here and here. And if you don't have Visitor or You & Me you really should get them, like yesterday.

We had our work holiday party a couple of weeks ago and it was a blast. A lot of pictures were taken.

The rest you can find on my flickr.

My mom is in town for Christmas and so far I think she's having a good time. We saw the Rockerfeller tree the day after she got in town. Afterwards we rushed over to Katz's Deli to get pastrami sandwiches before they closed. It's a Christmas tradition!

Christmas morning we went to church. Afterwards, we drove around looking for Captain Morgan. Couldn't find any in the stores that were open so we settled for Rasberry and Strawberry Smirnoffs. Had breakfast at Aunt Angelas where I was forced to watch the Yule Log. What's the big woop about that thing anyway?

Headed back to Aunt Angelas for dinner later in that day. Ate lots and lots of food, watched "A Christmas Story," hung out with the cousins and had a wicked tissue paper fight!

On Saturday, we went to the annual Christmas dance that my Aunt's church puts on. It was fun as always. We got dressed up, took lots of pictures, ate a lot of food and sweat out our clothes and hair from jumping up and down to the Vision Band. Proof below.

For New Years, my cousins and are are going to White Plains to a bar and hanging out there until about 11:30. Then we'll head on out to see the ball drop. White Plains does their own ball drop. I would never go back into the craziness that is Times Square on New Years. The out of towners can have that. Anywho, I hope that you and yours have a fantastic New Years Eve and I wish everyone the best for '09. Make it count!

I couldn't speak except to say how gorgeous that I thought you were to me

Beth Ditto has new hair and it looks amazing!

What do you think I am or do you think at all?

I saw Snowden at Mercury Lounge on the 3rd. Photos here. Their new songs sound awesome and I'm looking forward to their next record.

Christmas is around the corner and we've yet to do the necessary shopping. I'm afraid we're gonna be at the Galleria at 8 pm on Christmas Eve. Oh yeah and covering everything in tissue paper and putting them in bags til 1 in the morning. When will we learn?

I'm looking forward to the Walkmen/Dodos show on Tuesday night. Should be pretty wicked, especially since EVERYONE is going.

When I was in Atlanta, I saw Milk with Will and it was phenomenal. Looks like Sean Penn will easily pick up Best Actor nominations for all the major awards. Global Globe nominations were recently announced and of course he's nominated in that category. Thankfully, Heath Ledger is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category so voters won't have to choose between him and Sean Penn. I definitely want to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road and The Wrestler in the near future. All of those movies are nominated. I finally saw Four Minutes the other night and it was as good as I thought it would be.

Randomness over.

Helena Bonham Carter must be so comfortable all the time. I'm jealous.
