Monday is Christmas Day. I bought a few things for people, and I know I have quite a few things under the tree and will recieve even more during the party. Number 1 on said list is an Xbox 360 or a Zune. Down the list I have a couple DVDs, giftcards, games, calendars, etc. The standard list to me: same types of items that I usually want. Today we made cookies and prepared for the Christmas dinner. Apparently our church isnt doing a candlelight service tomorrow night so we arent doing that… Anyway I always get to open a gift or two on Christmas Eve, so I have a couple that would be perfect. Some look like books so they seem to be ones that wont spoil any suprises too early, but are still cool to open.
What else is going on in my self-centered life? I started Eragon (the book) and I gotta say for a 17 year-old author, that is great writing. Chris Poalini uses vivid imigary to bring his story to life. I’m only in about 50 pages, but I can tell this is a pretty awesome book. Too bad the movie sucks, though. I have been reading some reviews and there have been some dismal comments. Most critics are saying it is “borrowing” a lot of stuff from Lord of the Rings and other movies of the genre. I can see some Narnia elements as well.
