i'm sitting at work on what is widely regarded as the busiest shopping day of the year. thanksgiving has come to a wrap, and now the holidays truly begin. i ended up deciding to go spend some time with my family for the turkey day. i guess it wasn't too bad. the overall experience was made easier by the fact that i decided to have a couple of whiskey sours before i even put any food in my stomach. the coolest part of the day being the point where i was sitting on the couch, sipping on mixed drinks with my grandmother. after i actually got some food in me, my alcohol stupor quickly faded away, leaving me searching for a good reason to hit the road. that reason came in the form of the family firing up the ol' pictionary. as my cousin steve put it: "they might as well put a gun on the table, spin it…whoever it's pointing at has to draw. if no one guesses it, they have to take a shot." so that was our cue to exit.

i ended up at steve's for a round of beers and a few matches of tekken tag on the big screen. nothing beats 60 inches of playstation2 in dts surround. wow.

i got home in the early evening to take care of my "real" family shit, including calling paul to have him come over for some timesplitters action.

and that new movie, unbreakable? worst ending ever.
