Question of the Day

Actually we already have our tickets for London (British Museum here I come) as a wedding present. And a professional baker owes my mom a favor so the cake is also free. Mostly it's the invitations that are intimidating me. After that it will be the caterers. Then the dress. After that it'll be praying for nice weather.

There is all this crap that I have to think about that I really don't want to think about. Guys have it easy - you pick out your tux for the day and then your strip club for the bachelor party. That's it.
 
There are a lot of strip clubs out there, and most of them aren't the classiest of joints. All of the freedom we lose in the chance to screw up a tuxedo is recovered in the odds of picking a bad strip club.
 
Question of the Day:

Are you sad now that the holidays are over?

I am. I didn't have the usual Christmas with my family this year and I keep thinking that Christmas hasn't happened yet. Somehow the Nascar Christmsa I had in FL this year didn't quite cut it.
 
I am a little sad. It seemed that most people were in a rushed state of mind. They didn't want to just hang out, but had major schedules to keep. It was like "I'm here for about 3 hours, so let's make the most of it." Then we tried to pack in as much meaningful conversation within that time frame and eating too.

I am a little glad it's over too. We've been visiting with friends and attending little get togethers for a month now. My wife even had some friends over last night. I'm tired.

Not really. I used to celebrate Christmas, (from a purely secular standpoint) but decided to drop it altogether this year. Although, it was somewhat awkward recieving gifts from relatives when I didn't intend to participate in the first place. It almost seems mandatory that I should give something in return. Oh, well. If my loving affection isn't good enough, then screw them. :silly:

How the hell can you conscionably drop Christmas?

I just don't see the point anymore. It seems like the holidays have become far too commercialized.

At the end of the year, I'd prefer to simply relax and take it easy -- not worry about who wants what, and having a ton of relatives crowd your house. That's just me, though.
 
It's only commercialized if your sole association with Christmas is getting presents. I enjoy Christmas because of meeting with my whole family. Granted, giving and receiving presents has become a big part of it, but I'd enjoy Christmas even without it.

I believe my friend Olga sums it up best in her blog. (which is mostly excerpts from some of her husband's articles) Give it a look when you have the time.
 
Right...

I'm a little sad, because the relaxation of the holidays is over. I know that can sometimes seem like a paradox, but during Christmas it felt like I could just chill (most of the time).
Now I'm back in school, and I'm just not in the mood to do anything...
 
Question of the Day:

Did you send out Holiday Cards this year?

No way. I am so not organized enough to pull that off.
 
Question of the Day:

Are you looking forward to shows coming out of reruns?

I for one am dying to see what happens on Heroes.
 
Not really. I've kind of lost faith in Lost--about the only active program I follow. Funny how the show seems to be in part about losing faith...

I guess since watching Twin Peaks recently, my idea of what good TV is has shifted. Lost suddenly seems less mysterious and inventive in retrospect.
