seriously, japan?

I’ll be honest. I have not being keeping up my side of the bargain with this blog here. I mean you, valued reader, I know check every moment you can to see if I have any updates. But you come here and there’s nothing…. For a month. Pathetic really. But let’s not be coy here, I’m in love with you, dear reader, just you. Don't give up on me now.

So the month of December literally flew by. It was my birthday and then before I knew it, it was New Years. But before that was Christmas. I went down to Texas for it and had a great time. Besides seeing family and some extended family, the best parts were the following: fireworks, sunsets, a mini bike. Going down there was so nice. The weather was warmer and the food is always good. We had a plethora of tamales and smokehouse turkey. My dad’s theater room is ridiculous. And really I can’t describe it anymore than that…. You’d just have to see it.

But anyways. Came back to Chicago and it was new years eve! Which was both fun and irksome. And it happened in that sequence. Just fun drunk turned into shit show drunk, but I still think it was a lot of fun. But the next day my parents visited! Which was really nice. I hadn’t even seen our apartment yet. They thought it was cute. We also spent about 2 hours trying to get some Gino’s Pizza. But it was worth it. They also saw that we didn’t have any table and chairs so we went to Target and they bought us a little dinette set, which is much appreciated. Then while my mom and I put it together matt and my father both fell asleep. Geesh.

I have one book recommendation: My Custom Van by Michael Ian Black. If you read just the chapter titles and you don’t laugh then don’t talk to me.

Right now on the tv is Godzilla 2000, a Japanese film that is dubbed over and probably the greatest thing I’ve seen so far on tv. Not only does Godzilla have the same sound effect and look that it’s had through out the years, but the people of Japan STILL don’t know how to deal with Godzilla? I mean it took Americans only one try and Matthew Broderick took care of it. Japan get your shit together.
