My Break Re-Cap
Break rocked... I thought about ending the post here, but what the hell, I'll keep going.
I really can't remember the beginning of break, it's sort of fuzzy. I know we went to A Series of Unfortunate Events, and a couple days later we went to, I Heart Huckabees, which I had already seen but liked more than well enough to see again. I'll probably buy it when it comes out.
Quick change of topic, movies I need to buy:
City of God
I Heart Huckabees
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Being John Malkovich
Back to break.
At some point Christmas was in there, as were a slew of family things and such. I saw the Aviator, not a bad movie. I failed, on multiple occasions, to be able to rent Flight of the Phoenix.
At some point New Years Eve worked its way in. It was sort of surreal, lots of loud drunk people I didn't know. I wasn't feeling particularly social that night, which was unfortunate.
Oh yeah, earlier that week I had wicked stomach flu, Brooke and Jen saw me, I thought I was going to die at one point.
Extreme levels of arty were witnessed on several accounts, I even got in on it, though not until much later, and in a much less interesting way. (I liked my vaguely morose snow writings and pictures.)
I finally went down and saw people in Lincoln, I've been meaning to, but it just never happened until this year. I hope I can do it again, it was fun, though the second visit was unfortunately timed, there wasn't anything that could be done about that.
I became addicted to Iron and Wine and I listened to them incessantly on my iPod. I became addicted to them to the point of annoying Jen and Brooke.... Brooke actually with-held it at one point when I was driving her home.
I miss everyone in Omaha already, especially Brooke, Jen and Alan, who were more or less with me during all of my free time, of which there was quite a bit.
So I've been back for about 30 hours or so, and I've already spent all of a day in training and put up 4 bulletin boards and planned a floor activity.
