JayMoney’s Neighborhood

I decided to stay in Seattle for the holiday after much hemming and hawing and then more hemming and a little waffling. I feel bad about it. I would like to see most of my relatives, but not in conditions that are hostile to sanity. So I'll be spending a quiet week in (and out of) my quiet apartment. Here's what I plan to do:

• Catch up on laundry
• Read Proust, Rorty, and Murdoch
• Write my year/ decade - end lists, analyses, etc.
• Find some new music to listen to
• Clean the bird cage
• Vacuum
• Go to a movie (which one? dunno)
• Watch the 2 Netflix I've had for 6 weeks
• Re-order my Netfilx queue
• Send a holiday letter to my uncle Phil in Sweden
• Drink some brandy & eggnog
• Do yoga
• Sell some books
• Make a mix CD to give to friends
• Plan a quick trip to Portland next week
• Go to my ex-husband's xmas-eve punch party
• Go for a run or 3
• Make myself a nice meal
• Figure out what I'm doing with my life

Well, that last one may extend past this week...

My hubby bought me an awesome pair of boots the other day. I was so happy. I nearly cried! When I worked for myself, made my own money, and was unattached, I spent my money on my car payment, movies, and a few other things that I wanted. I never really thought about the shoes on my feet. I never looked into what Christian Louboutin specials I could get my hands on. I am glad that my husband thinks about everything, not just what we have to do as a married couple, but everything down to my very feet. Thanks again, hubs!!!

Making a list, checking it twice... How's your holiday shopping going? Who's left on your list?

Thanking God, Gamestop, and Sears sales...we are done all shopping for Christmas. Thanks to Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and our dear friends: we have all our family presents for us 3 for Christmas.

After seeing and being out in all this: 

UGH! My husband and I watched this movie last night and I was not impressed. It was like Nick Cage took his Face Off character and went retarded with it. It is not for children at all. I do not recommend anyone to see it ever. I think it should be burned. Just because Nick Cage and Eva Mendez are in it, as well as a few other good actors, it isn't worth the time. It was horrendous, and I can't even tell you all the details as to why. It was just BAD in general. The ending was worse. Just terrible. The only good part about the movie was the twist in the story, even though you couldn't really understand all the stuff around it, and the credits rolling.

What would it take to get you to start a new life on a new world?
Sponsored by AVATAR. In theaters December 18. Buy tickets now.

The end of the one I currently live in... LOL

Just hand me a toothbrush and an extra pair of skivvies and I should be just fine :P

Ok, I don't have an income or any idea of how I am going to have one over the next year, BUT I would like to take 6 weeks to travel in Europe next August/ September. Iceland Air has ridiculously cheap airfare. I would start with 5? days in Iceland, then fly to London and take the train to the south coast for my friends' (The Wedding Present) music festival in Brighton on 8/28. Then fly to Copenhagen and spend up to 2 weeks at my uncle's place in southern Sweden, reading, writing, and relaxing. Then maybe Paris? It has been a few years.

All I need is several thousands of dollars and a birdsitter. I've got 9 months to find those things. No problem.....
