So last week was Thanksgiving week. I pretty much had the whole week off. I did as little real work as I could get away with. After pouring more money into my car, I drove it to Jackson and didn’t have any major problems. Whenever I started hearing noises, I just turned my music up louder so I wouldn’t hear them.
Some of the highlights and lowlights of the week:
watched season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
started season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (“I hate that girl.”)
watched Empire Falls
ordered tons of crap online
read Salem’s Lot
watched all the episodes of Smallville that I had missed
watched almost all the episodes of Lost that I had missed
cleaned my apartment some
everybody noticing how the weight I’ve lost
got to see my sister and brother-in-law
my mom and I watching one of her bowls shatter in front of our eyes
being able to sleep as late as I wanted to 6 mornings in a row
got gas for $1.97 a gallon
It was weird seeing all the changes that some parts of Clinton have gone through since the last time I had seen them.
I finally moved into the 21st century and got a DVD burner I’m sure I’ll be burning stuff like crazy over the next few weeks.
Finals are next week and then the semester is over.

The week after I saw Serenity I started watching Firefly and when I finished I was left wanting more. Too bad there are only 14 episodes. I want to watch the whole series over again. I need to buy the box set so I’ll have my own copy. I checked Amazon.com and it looks like Serenity will be out in time for Christmas. That’s pretty good turnaround considering the movie just came out in September. This week I hope to begin watching season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I hear that it’s not the best season, but I have to start somewhere. If I like it I may watch Angel.
The new book in the George R.R. Martin series “A Song of Ice and Fire” came out last week. I hear that it’s only about half the story it was originally intended to be. I’m not in any hurry to buy it. I have enough books that I need to read first.
Gas prices are dropping.
It looks like I’m going to have more free time beginning now. I’ll have to find some way to pass the time. You know what they say about idle hands. It’s weird because when I was a student this would probably be the most stressful time of the semester.
I started on Mercenaries for the second time the other night. Maybe I’ll finish it this time. No, I am not getting an Xbox 360 when they first come out. It can wait.
I’m looking forward to the new Harry Potter, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, and something else I can’t think of right now.
If you own a PS2, you might want to look here.
