The best thing about the movie is Jude Law playing Dr. Watson. It was very nice to see a Watson who was in the military and is in many ways Holmes's equal, which is, you know, as he was written. Holmes being a member of fight club was a little silly and I knew the surprise!ending before the film even started (well, almost that soon). It was just like receiving the Joker card at the end of 'Batman Begins.' It was a silly movie, but I'm glad I saw it and will probably accompany Bryce to the sequels.

I'm watching "Manos" The Hands of Fate. We'll see if I can get through it without the MSTing.

We were snowed in for Christmas. I was a little sad Luke didn't go to my parents' house for his first Christmas. We're also not going to St. Louis tomorrow. Nichole said she was crying all Christmas morning when she found out. We told her we'd go down for Spring Break and Luke will be more entertaining. She said she wants to see him now when he can't get away from her.

I didn't go to work today due to the four foot snow drifts in the ally. It wouldn't have been any better if we had parked on the street because that hasn't even been plowed yet. And church has been canceled tomorrow.

Bryce got me the soundtrack to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode ('Once More with Feeling'), 'Home Movies' season 2, 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter', and 'Drawn to Life the Next Chapter' DS game.

We got Karolin's package today, which had some cute little Hamtaro figures, a couple of shirts for Luke - one says 'My Dad's a Geek' and the other is 'My Mom's a Geek', and there's a pair of pants to match, and there's an adorable figure of a girl holding an s-word. Please forgive me if I should know who she is, but I like her a lot.

Kent and Beth gave Bryce and I a set of DragonLance books. I don't know what to read first!

I struck the motherload thanks to Kyle. He gave me the first season of 'Connections' (which I remember greatly enjoying on TLC), the Dexter and Watchmen soundtracks, 'Manos: the Hands of Fate', a CD of the Batman musical, and a CD of jazz music by some of the B5 cast. He also gave Luke Boo and Bowser plusies.

We got Luke his New Years Eve onesie, a toy cell phone, a VeggieTales CD, a toy steering wheel, and a ball popper thingie that looks like it will entertain me as much as him.

We're going to my parents' house tomorrow (snow permitting). Driving home from work was a little on the slow side, but not bad. It depends on how long it takes to dig out.

A reality show that has an actress come on to cause problems is really lame. I'm just sayin'.

There's a Swedish Silent Hill stage play. What a great idea.

I really liked the Sopranos segment.

I remember some of these.

I don't know why I'm staying up so late. I need to get up early.

But my Christmas shopping is almost all done. I have two or three things to buy and that's it. :)

I got Luke some bowls with suction cups on the bottoms. That's probably more for me than him, but isn't that how it works at this age?

I got done with my shower and started reading my friends page when I realized I heard water running. I immediately thought of the day I came home on my lunch to feed Jacks and the washer hose had broke and water was spraying everywhere and I called Bryce at work crying. I was about to run downstairs again when I realized Luke's white noise machine was still on. Duh.

Luke got a pirate costume in one of his boxes of free stuff. Score! Bryce was a mafia gangster and I was also a pirate. We went to the photographer who takes free pictures, so I'll post that of us when we get it.

We went to my parents' house so they can see us and then we went to our friends' house, which we've been doing for the past couple years. Bryce read 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and we watched the Vincent Price movie. Those are two completely different things.

kc_anathema gave me S.

How awesome is it to gain an hour on Halloween?

Bryce's subbing is going well. He's back at a school today he had a bad experience at. He was subbing a bunch of economics classes, and economics is a required class at this school. I think that's pretty neat, but the kids were uninterested and uncooperative, and then some guy and girl started beating on each other during the last hour. They got out and security ended up chasing them around the parking lot. He's giving that school a second chance, unlike the school with the open technology policy. But that day and the open tech day were the only two bad days he's had so far, which is honestly much better than I was expecting.

I'm working 40 hours this week and hate it. I feel like I only see Luke when he's tired and crabby. But he's been having trouble settling down to nap during the day now that he's sleeping about nine hours a night.

Luke and I are going to be pirates tomorrow. Arrrr.

The happiest Luke's been tonight was getting his bath.

Mickey's first speaking role.
