wow...though it's been just a little over a week between blogs, it feels like much longer. in the last week - i still got no rest...busy...working, shopping, working, shopping, going to christmas parties... the plan for my vacation is to sleep as late as i can without dipping into extreme laziness, so in essence, sleeping till about noon everyday sounds good. :) it's been a fun week despite the lack the sleep.

the two towers added to my lack of sleep, but it was so worth it...so much fun and enjoyment! aragorn and legolas...enough said. i can't wait to go and see it again. and because i seriously lack any sort of patience, i'm going to read the trilogy while i'm at home...because i need to know how it ends and i can't wait another year until the third movie comes out!

i left for portland and i got home earlier this afternoon...after an extremely inefficient drive home. detour was the key word of the day. i guess being tired really doesn't help, since i kept missing the turn-offs and exits that i needed to take. but 6 hours later, after stops at krispy kremes and an ill-fated search for an alternate route to ikea - i made it home. yay! and then after getting all cleaned up, hitched a ride to a christmas party down in west linn. it was fun, with lots of good food, and very random company. my old roommates were there, and other friends who are back from school or wherever they moved to. and the hosts even prepared party games - with a fear factor type round, which involved caroling to ja hye's parents (who are korean and choir directors no less) to guessing a food purely by it's texture (it was tripe - good job mark!)

and...there are always those kinda funny things that happen at parties, like people... and their quirks...hehe.
