Where am I these days?

Huh... A glance at the ol' calendar on the sidebar informs me that I haven't exactly been posting very consistently lately. That's understandable: Two weeks ago I was trying to get my semester's final projects done. The next week I had finals up through Thursday. Friday I did some Christmas shopping--which is a pastime I loathe above most others; I like giving gifts, and especially when I find good ones, but it's the time-consuming finding process that I really don't like. Saturday I spent most of the day (noon-11 pm) working, and Sunday I had regular church stuff.

Highlights of today:

My brother finally got his driver's license. This makes me very happy, as I will no longer be called on to retrieve him from basketball practice or from church functions.

Did some Christmas shopping, and ran into a couple of acquaintances from high school and a friend of Jason's. Pleasantries were exchanged.

Went to a Sunday School Christmas party tonight. Lots of fun. We had one of those "white elephant" gift exchanges; I received a giant PEZ dispenser decorated with the head of Woodstock from the Charlie Brown comic strips on the top. If you pull Woodstock's head back, not only will it dispense an entire roll of PEZ candy, but it also plays the little theme song. It's cool. Other notable gifts: A keychain from Korea, a roll of toilet paper, a pen that delivered electic shocks to anyone who attempted to use it, and a beer stein from Germany. (Yes, a Sunday School Christmas party.)

A new Decemberween Homestar Runner cartoon is up. Go see it! You know you want to.

Um... That's about it. Tomorrow's agenda: Finish Christmas shopping already! And maybe write a blog post that's full of witty insight into politics or religion or something. Or not. We'll see.
