Early happy holidays to all, i'm feeling festive

So it's been a very busy week playing host, site seeing and eating eating eating. Oh and if you all didn't remember, i'm now down to 9 turkey legs, yeah for brothers who eat lots oh meat!

Anyhoo, i'm not about to attempt at informing you of the past few days and the great times i've had with my visitors, but here are a few thoughts.

1) Who remembers "Parenthood" with Steve Martin, 1989 movie, yes you all remember it...you're sliding into first when you feel a sudden burst, ____. This is probably one of my favorite movies, so funny, so real, sooooo bad and not to mention some classic actors. Now who remembers Martha Plimpton...yes who is she...she played the daughter who dates Keanu Reeves, shaves her head in the classic undercut, oh and her mom is the one with the vibe. Well i've had my most recent celebrity sighting, if you can call her a celebrity. It was one of these i looked at her, looked away because man, she isn't aging well and then was like, saweet, just saw Julie Buckman. Sorry, so not exciting, but still what do you think it means, i'm a huge celebrislut and this is who i see...yeah, i hope it's not a reflection of me.


2)Northface-the city is finally getting cold and now people are pulling out their heavy duty jackets. I'm the type of person who really doesn't like joining trends, but every so often it makes sense (ie: northface long down jackets which will undoubtedly keep my constant freezing a$$ warm all the time). I may be retiring my northface jacket it's too much to bare. Evan pointed it out to me the other night...did i notice how much northface gear was worn in the city? Maybe it's one of these things that since it was pointed out and it's one of these things that really bug me i've now started to notice it everywhere. Ie: you buy a new car, dog, pair of shoes and then bam, you realize so many people have the EXACT same item as you. Anyways, New York is a HUGE advertisement for Northface winter gear of all kinds, hats, vests, jackets, fleece...the items are everywhere!!! I may need to buy Patagonia. Ps: has anyone (minus those from Denison or C.L.C) ever heard of Patagucci?

3) The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year. It is also the first day people start playing christmas carols and also pull out their xmas trees. I have to admit i love the holidays (please refer to my halloween posting asking what point is too early to decorate, oh and once for halloween i dressed up as xmas...i looove the holidays). Righteo, i have yet to hang lights or put up a tree, but my wreath will be hung December 1st and i will be playing Mariah Carey's holiday album while i do it. Back to the point while surrounding myself this weekend with the shopping mayhem and waiting patiently for subway cars i let my mind relax, in the background of all the chaos and over heated stores i heard Christmas carols and inside i had a little smile. Maybe i'm being sentimental, nostalgic or overly in the spirit, but i feel like spreading the holiday cheer a bit early.
