For those of you what that celebrates it . . .

Merry Christmas!

(And for those of you what that don't, um, Happy Thursday.)

I got to watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the Chuck Jones animated version, not the excremental live action version) with my six-year-old niece and her parents. My niece had to keep telling her father to stop reciting the dialogue as it played.

Now I'm off to go watch presents being opened, have Eggs Benedict and munch cookies.

Pleasure and learning later, it's too early in the day now.

Attempting a post via the iPhone...

My nieces had many prezzies to open. Eggs Benedict was fabulous.

I went to the movies with the David family. I didn't particularly want to see The Tale of Despereaux, so I settled on The Spirit. Peter, my brother-in-law, grudgingly agreed to watch it with me on the basis that people were inevitably going to ask him what he thought of it anyway. I also talked my niece Ariel into going with us.

Best surrealist comedy of 2008, people. I laughed all the way through it.

Dinner and Daveparty tonight. I even get tomorrow off. Woot!

Today I took pleasure in a ridiculous film.

Today I learned that posting on my LJ via the iPhone not that easily done.
