Plastic Pine Trees

Just a few more days and it'll be Christmas. And somehow, the family has conveniently forgetten to put up the decorations and (horror of all horrors...) the plastic Christmas tree.

Frankly, I don't even know why I'm writing about it. I'm the last person who should be given that I've always thought that the idea was (and still is...) a dumb one. Why insist on having an artificial version of a plant that doesn't exist in this hemisphere anyway?

And talk about space wasters.... Whenever that "tree" is around, I'm forced to take a detour around the living room just to get to the kitchen. Just imagine the manhours lost in TV/Movie snacktime just because of that delay... That in itself merits a constitutional ammendment or something of that sort...

But I guess people need symbols. It's just sad that many choose to have THAT kind of a symbol over the one that really matters.

And I TRULY HOPE none of you have to ask what that is.

We can always hope, I guess...

My Best Friend's Wedding

So the title isn't original... then again, what's original in this day and age, anyway?

In exactly, 65 hours and 49 minutes, one of my best friends is going to get married.

Seems like a marker on my path somehow.... that at this point in my lifetime, these kinds of things happen.

Even now I still don't know what to say...

I thought I'd just let it out into the void.

Here void....

Random Thoughts While Staring Out of the Glorietta 4 McCafe Store Entrance From 12:40p-1:50p

1. Michael Jackson's Thriller playing at the height of the Christmas season. How Burton-esque...

2. Crossing my eyes at people at random. I wonder if they notice.

3. Lunch break over. Considerably less people walking around at the mall on a weekday. Yes, Virginia, there's a bundy and you forgot to clock in....

4. Japanese women and their Louis Vuitton handbags... a picture of materialism with a hint of class.

5. corny jokes seem a WHOLE LOT funnier when you've been waiting an hour on your butt. Personally, I prefer this over the frown lines you'd otherwise acquire fuming over the fact your date is SOOOO late... "Lucy, YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DOOOOOO....."

6. bumped into people from different areas of my life in the most unlikely of places - TWICE within a period of an hour. What are the chances?
