home again home again

Back in the apartment, where we still really don't have any warm water. But there's a marathon of Last Exile episodes on today, and I'm going to curl up on the couch with the laptop and the cat.

We ate dinner and exchanged presents with Alan's family in Bryan. The drive home last night was frigid but clear. I like to see the farm houses in the middle of empty fields decorated with lights. A cat ran out in front of us, but Alan managed to dodge in time. The drive doesn't seem as long at night.

We drank champagne at my mom's and watched the hysterically bad and entertaining Chronicles of Riddick. I mean, who approved that script and talked all those big names into acting for it? We spent the night there, because she had hot water for bathing.

My most favorite present this year came from my mother, who gave me the Lord of the Rings backgammon set. It's beautiful and I love it. We came home with lots of coffee, candy, soap for me and socks for Alan. Alan got a set of blue and white rice bowls with chopsticks, and a bottle of sake for cooking. We have a new kitty toy, and money for shopping so I can get myself the extended edition of ROTK. My mom also gave me a tiny SpiderMan lunchbox.

I really, really want Chinese food. You just would not believe.

The beauty of Christmas is that you can get Chinese food today (because they don't celebrate Christmas). I just got back from having very yummy Dim Sum at T&S on N. Lamar - their Chinese food is fab as well. They do deliver but I'm not entirely sure where you're located and I don't know if they'll be delivering today because they were wicked busy. But if you feel like heading out of the apartment I'm sure you could easily find chinese.

I ended up at Golden Bay, which was delicious as usual. Just the other day I was joking that none of my Jewish friends lived here so I had no one to go get Chinese with. ;)

Poor Karl Urban. "I am a Necromonger warlord!!!"
Rm and I were howling when we went to see that.

I had forgotten he was in that, until we were watching. I looked really hard at the TV and then started twitching. So so so funny.
