Today is Friday December Twenty Fifth Two Thousand Oh Nine. Happy Xmas ! I went for a walk this morning with the parental units and it was invigorating. We hiked to the top of a small mountain that overlooks the seacoast of Maine and it was very pretty at eight in the morning. Its cool to be able to wake up and be present and involve myself in life once again. We are going to do the gift exchange thing and then are leaving to Freeport to have dinner with some friends of my folks. Should be interesting and while I am not psyched they are serving Turkey I suppose its better for me than the usual Christmas roast. I love roast beef tho and I will need to make up for it sometime next week. I think a visit to a local steakhouse ought to do the trick.
My fucking camera that I just bought in October broke at some point in the past few weeks. I don't get any image from the back of the thing and every picture it takes is all black. At least for once I bought it at Best Buy so hopefully getting an exchange won't be too much of a hassle. I can hope any ways but I was very much hoping to take some pics of the holiday because thats what a fucking camera is for. Grrr.
Brittany Murphy died this week, no reports as to the cause but what a bummer. While she wasn't the most famous actress in Hollywood she was in a few cult film hits and also played Marshall Mather's love interest in the movie 8 Mile. She was a cute but edgy chick and what a bummer it must be for her friends and family. I have no doubt that dirty laundry about her life will come out in the media and that sucks as well. I mean she is no longer living and exposing her past life just isn't cool.
I got a Amazon Kindle of xmas today and I am totally psyched. I read roughly three books a week and I have had my eye on the Kindle for some time now. It the smaller and less fancy one and that is perfectly fine with me as all I need it for it to download and read. I also got a fancy leather case for protection and its pretty stylie too boot. I think that I will get much use out of this gadget and its awesome that my folks gave it to me. The thirty bucks at amazon.com is pretty cool as well.
Times are a changing in the Miller household. My pop gave mumsie a Nofriendo Wii with a balance board for xmas. Mumise gave pops a Porsche Boxter for his seventieth birthday and I am pretty certain that he got the better deal. I of course made mention that when it comes time to pass along this convertible that it shouldn't go to my brother. Maybe a crass thing to say but it was a joke because my mum gave my brother her Fiat convertible when he graduated from Harvard and moved to California. He still has it and has kept up with the maintenance which is an impressive feat considering that its a thirty year old Italian sports car. Maintaining cars was never my strong suit because previously I would spend all my dough on drugs and alcohol. That will not happen again, I can promise you that.
