Holy Mackrel Batman, it's ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!

That wonderful time of the year is almost here. Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up with the count down chart this year because I've been insanely busy (how unusual). It has been nice relaxing over the last two days but that of course comes at the cost of having two finals on Wednesday. Who are the bastards that decided to schedule the finals period up until two days before Christmas? And why do my professors have to go ahead and schedule them on that day? Blasphemy!

I'm sure Wells Fargo is enjoying my patronage at this time as I've been forced to put Christmas gifts on my credit card over the past couple weeks. Yep, I'm dead broke. I don't know quite how it happened but when it was time to pay my rent this month my checking acount had about $100 less than expected. Funny how that happens.

On a really good note, tommorow night is the long-awaited Motion City Soundtrack and Limbeck show at First Avenue and it's going to be f*cking awesome (the censorship was for the kids). I always love seeing MCS and Limbeck play but it's going to be even more dope seeing them at the legendary First Avenue as I haven't been to a show there in over a year. YAY!

Finally, I've been fixing to watch some Christmas specials lately. Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer was on a few weeks ago - yes the original, Claymation-style special with the lovable Bumble. Ever since I've been thinking about all of the great specials I used to watch as a kid. I'm not sure which would be my favorite but I've narrowed it down to a top 5. *Drumroll*....

Top 5 Christmas Specials of All-Time (In no particular order)
- Rudolph
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas (animated)
- Charlie Brown's Christmas
- The Muppet Christmas Carol
- The Family Guy Christmas episode

I need a video or DVD with all of these on. And Mickey's Christmas Carol if only for the snowball fight short between Donald Duck and his nephews. Someone hook it up.

That's enough for now I think...there's NFL on Saturdays now. Happy Holidays!

Oh yeah Santa - this year all I want is a Packers Super Bowl appearance, a car, and a gig at a great ad agency upon graduating. (If that's too much to ask I'll settle for Green Bay beating Minnesota on Christmas Eve and an internship).

CURRENT LISTENING: Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Wow...it's been a while!

Sorry to anyone out there who might actually be checking this thing for new posts. I know I've been MIA for a day or 16. Bars...final projects...finals. WHEW! That's the sound of a semester winding down.

I'll be back soon.
