So this is 2005?

Is it safe to come out yet? Probably, but I'm staying in one last day since this is my final day of vacation for quite a while. I didn't really feel like I got that much vacationing done though! I had wanted to do at least one old-school late-night bender but every time I planned an evening to do so, family obligations would crop up early the next day...and I'm getting a bit too old to smell like booze when around young 'uns.

Come to think of it, the only times I really felt like I was on vacation was when I saw The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (highly recommended since it got me all teary eyed) last week and Spanglish (much much better than I anticipated and Photogal loved it) yesterday. That's less a statement on movies as a consumerist form of escapism and more a realization of just how few movies I actually paid to go out and see this year!

So, I hereby dedicate the remainder of this day to becoming a total house sloth. Right after I get back from the gym and take down the Christmas tree and wrap the decorations and...I think you might be getting the idea as to why I haven't gotten much vacationing in, eh?
