Long time no see

So it looks like I haven't been posting here much. One possibility is that I'm getting deeper into the semester and thinking less about the blog. Another (more real) possibility is that this was all simply an excuse to vent about the Sox. But now, there is no more venting. There is only joy. Thus, it's been sort of a blank slate of late, and for that I apologize. Things on the radar of late:

-Blockbuster, although evil/corporate/scum, has been friendly to me recently. "In America" was outstanding. Many gorgeous moments. Yes, I know you've already seen it. Screw you. "Triplets of Belleville," although I felt I was maybe missing something, was juicy cartoon fun. I like watching old women eat frogs. And "Supersize Me" made us wonder if we'd ever go to McDonald's again. Laproscopic surgery is something we need to see more of in movies.

-I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time ever in my brief time on earth. I cooked a turkey. I basted. I stuffed. I carved. I did not carve well. But there were pieces of turkey on the plate at the end, and that, my friends, is the point. In attendance were my mother, father, sister (Kate), Kia's sister (Kristin), me, and Kia. All in all, a very good time. And I will be eating turkey sandwiches until Christmas.

-I turn 26 in 2 weeks. Some of you who have done this: suggestions?
