Teehee, I just pretended I was foreign there. But, yeah, I hope everybody had a good one.

I made a pretty good haul this year...

--v. groovy 80s looking fur bomber jacket
--new bottle of Chance (as am down to the dregs of current one)
--"Everybody Loves an Irish Girl" t-shirt
--cute pink shirt w/blue and yellow stars on
--$50 Express gift card
--pretty silver Celtic crucifix necklace
--new Dropkick Murphys cd
--Two Towers dvd (the huge one w/4 dvds and all the documentaries and stuff)
--Singin In the Rain dvd (the collectors edition one)
--Mike & Merv, aka the quintessential Irish step dance practice music cd
--big warm fluffy slippers
--red sweater w/zipper down front and huge sleeves for my gorilla-like arms (it's a running joke in my family that I have monkey arms...seriously, my arms are like abnormally long)

So...yeah. WOO!

Also, went to see Return Of the King finally yesterday. It fucking ruled. Just wondering, can I be Eowyn when I grow up? :) I won't launch into an analysis, but it was fantastic. Just fantastic. My only issues? Way too many shots of characters (namely Frodo and Sam) looking at each other slowly and dramatically. It's OK once or twice. But that part at the end? GEEZ. It's like slo-mo HELL. Chill out with the longing looks, PJ!

Just talked to David. Was slightly funny as whoever answered his phone (his secretary?...this guy is rich enough to have his own secretary...like at his HOME...) sounded REALLY confused, probably b/c me and Kristen sound really similar on the phone. Eh, anyways, he was extremely sweet and kept wishing me a "happy Christmas" and wanting to hear all about Adrien (my nephew, Kristen's son) and was v. disappointed to hear that I hadn't seen Kristen in a few months and Adrien in over a year. And the accent, ahh, SWOON! I don't know what's wrong w/my sister. He's an Irish multimillionaire who worships the ground she walks on. And she's turned down his marriage proposal at least twice. DUDE. Whaaaaaaaat the fuck? But yeah, he asked when I was moving to NY and for my cell phone and he said "I'll do anything I can to help" and that he'd call me back in a week or 2. So WOOHOO! But man, what a sweetie.

Wonder if he has a brother...

Also talked to cousin yesterday and got details of impending wedding. As of May 22nd, my cousin Beth will be married to a Ralph Lauren/Abercrombie model. Cool, huh. I really hope everything works out and I get to be in the wedding since I *am* supposed to be one of the bridesmaids.

OK, well, I don't really have anything fabulously interesting to talk about so I guess I'll go take a shower and try and continue being productive. Kisses for everyone! Mwah! Mwah!
