Merry Christ-mass
If anyone puts "X-mas" again I will scream!!! How blatantly obvious of an attempt to take Christ out of Christmas can one get?
Christmas wasn't too bad. I think it will get more fun when kiddo realizes what is going on.
Maddox had a great first bday party. Flu and cold hitting many people hard so about half couldn't attend.
I started playing WOW on our own server and like it a lot. Contact me if you would like to join. My character's name in the game is "Luscious". It is totally hilarious b/c now everyone says "Greetings Luscious" in the game.
If attending a birthday party for someone get them a GIFT. And if you don't, then that is fine, but do not go running to the store in the middle of the party to buy yourself crap you don't need.

Books and Movies
Deception Point by Dan Brown I read this book also in two days. It is like 736pp long. He probably could have/should have made it 2-300 pp instead. The book follows the same outline Dan Brown does in all of his books: the prologue has someone die, you find out about that someone halfway through the book, the unexpected person is the guy behind everything, there is a romance, there is some conspiracy of global proportions. If this guy is such a "great" author then why can't he write a book that doesn't follow the SAME outline. It gets old and I'm not reading any more of his books. He has hundreds of chapters - many of them a page or two. Every major woman is "gorgeous". Michael Crichton has MUCH better research. His books are entertaining for the first novel or so but after that he is just Blah.
Movies I watched:
Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End: I always end up needing subtitles on this movie - it is difficult to hear all the words and figure out what they're saying. I understand the plot only halfway through the movie. Also very disappointed that Disney marketed PotC items in their stores when this movie is clearly not for small children. But I liked it much better than #2 and would watch it again.
1408: Strange movie. I'm glad I saw it but wouldn't watch it again.
Mr. Brooks: in the middle of that movie so far - so far it is really good. I think the actors, whom everyone has seen on TV, do a great job of acting like different people than they normally play.

New Book: Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
Finished it in two days. A good, fast read. Not as much non-fiction as Dan Brown's more "famous" works and it works well.
Laura Igraham went off on Christmas cards yesterday on her show. It was pretty funny. How people include letters dripping with "oh, our life is so wonderful, much more than yours is". And how they compare what their paper was, gold leaf, etc. It is even difficult to find cards that actually have Jesus on them! Crazy.

Ken Jennings' Blog and the Pagans Celebrate Christmas
Even Ken Jennings has his own blog!
Also, I retract my going off on Aldi b/c of their OJ prices. Everyone else's is higher priced, too. Perhaps I have been in a time warp. I used to spend maybe $40 on groceries in a two week period. Now I can't leave the grocery store without $90 and that doesn't have to include baby items either.
PBS - St. Louis is raising money once again. I taped Celtic Woman: Christmas to see if they had any good numbers. Then I realized: the Celts were pagans... so why are they celebrating Christmas and singing happy Christmas songs? They were polytheists in fact. Oh the irony. But Celtic Woman Christmas is selling their tickets and making their money so they do not mind the contradiction.

Movies to See
Must See Movies either on video or the theater: Sweeney Todd and Beowulf, oh and "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Three great movies!!! And Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman cannot make a bad movie.
No video tonight so have nothing to report on the "Truth Project". The only truth I learned was that I was not the only person extremely frustrated with a certain event last month. Holding a baby for 3 hours is not my idea of fun. Nor having nothing to eat for that period of time.
