this semester has been a hectic one for me. being the brilliant person that i am, i decided to take four literature classes. why? it’s beyond me. fortunately, though, after 4:15pm this afternoon, i will be on a short three day break. that means i don’t have class wednesday or thursday and, even better, no work wednesday through friday! amazing. i love thanksgiving. i know it’s a total immoral holiday to celebrate with such enthusiasm, but it’s the best. really. i’ll break down its amazing-ness. first, you get the day before the holiday off, too. you’re feeling good, because for the past day you haven’t done anything except pick at the delicious food that’s been bought for the special day. if you’re a good person, you’ve also been considering what you can contribute to the big dinner yourself. personally, i like experimenting with desserts. yes, delicious, carb-filled, desserts. on wednesday, you can also catch some awesome marathon on tv. it’s either james bond films or clint eastwood movies or trilogies (star wars, lord of the rings, etc) or, my personal favorite, the Twilight Zone marathon on the sci fi channel. after you’ve watched the same show or series of movie for about six hours, you realize you have to go to bed. you get under your sheets, all excited and jittery but then you drift away dreaming of turkey and pie and stuffing and cranberry sauce and gravy fairies and football gods. then it’s thanksgiving. i would describe all the warm feelings this word inspires in me, but no. a simple mention in an ol’ run-of-the-mill post is not enough. that’s why right here, right now, i’m promising a Thanksgiving Special blog post coming this thursday, right to your computer screens. awesome. it will be great. i promise.  (more…)
