I haven’t spent much time on the computer over the past few days, but I wanted to throw a quick Christmas post up here because… Well, it doesn’t seem right not to.

I didn’t ask for much in the way of gifts this year. I realize how cliche and lame this is gonna sound, but after seeing how little people in Ghana had (and how they were still happy) I really couldn’t justify asking my parents to buy me something like a Wii – So I just got the usual: clothes and etc, which is fine. I don’t get as excited over Christmas as I used to (obviously) so it’s no big deal that I don’t have some shiny new toy or gadget or whatever to play with all day. I do wish it would snow though… I haven’t seen a single snowflake since I got back from Ghana.

To be honest though, for Christmas, I’d really like nothing more than to be forced to play this game all day. It just looks so easy, doesn’t it?

I heard they’re celebrating Christmas in Japan… And by celebrating, I mean dealing with a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. That must be fun.

I rarely see movies in the theater (I probably see less than 5 a year), but over the past week I’ve seen three. Juno was pretty good – I knew next to nothing about it when I saw it, and it definitely held my interest, which a lot of movies don’t tend to do. It’s not for everyone, but I think a lot of people would enjoy it. I also knew next to nothing about Sweeny Todd when I saw it. I knew that it was a musical, but I guess I just didn’t prepare myself (or whatever) to sit through 117 minutes of pretty much nonstop singing. It was pretty gory and had some funny moments, but I don’t know if I’d want to sit through it again. And this past Sunday I saw I Am Legend, which was pretty badass. That’s a pretty mature way to describe a movie, right? It was definitely entertaining, and I’ll probably end up buying it on DVD (or downloading it) when it comes out. I could probably do a much better job writing actual reviews of these movies if I put some time into it, but I’m too lazy, so that’s all you’re getting.

I really will try and get the next part of my Ghana experience up in the next day or two, I just need to set aside a couple of hours (and an adderall). Have a wonderful Christmas (or non-denominational holiday) everybody.
