December 2006 – Minimal Effort

I have never seen this movie before which make shock people? [I don’t know why it’s so shocking.]

I’m finding updating this journal on the road is a bit more difficult when you’re hearing yourself get fatter from eating out so much. I also find that I like taking bubble baths on the road. Why I don’t take bubble baths at home …who knows.

I’m currently watching “Miracle on 34th Street”. I have never seen this and feel obligated to watch it because it’s a classic and one of the dudes won an Oscar but in all honesty, I’m not really ecstatic to watch it. Perhaps it doesn’t help that I’m typing an entry while “watching” it.

Other movies I should watch but haven’t gotten around to [because they’re “classics”]

–A Nightmare Before Christmas
–Ben Hur
–Chariots of Fire
–All the Godfathers
–Scarface
–Casablanca
–My Fair Lady
–Breakfast at Tiffany’s
–Brokeback Mountain
–Capote

Ok, that’s all I can think of at the moment.

As I am a connoisseur of chicken and rice, I am currently testing fast food chicken in other states. Here are the stats so far:

–Bojangles [North Carolina]
–Popeye’s [Florida]
–Church’s Chicken [New Mexico]
–KFC [everywhere]

Thus far, I’m a fan of Popeye’s. Bojangles is too spicy, Church’s and KFC is a bit on the greasy side. Popeye’s just has enough salt. However, my quest for the perfect chicken is not finished.

Gifts received so far:

–Little Miss Sunshine
–Thank You for Smoking
–Season 5 of 24
–cd of The Unicorns [listened to the other day….THEY ROCK!]
–Decemberists cd
–Lindt Truffles

Woohoo. I swear I’m the easiest to purchase for. Loving all the gifts thus far.

Ok, I’ll have more rigmarole next time.
