It's all good
After Christmas, there wasn't a lot of activity in the house. We did go to watch Spellbound, said to be "The greatest magic show on earth," although I'm not sure I agree with that. It was a really fabulous show, with dancing girls and (mostly gay) guys in various glittery apparel, magicians, tricks, and even a human design performance, etc. But I'd seen all the "magic" before, on TV. Nothing beats the real thing, yeah, but the fact is that they did nothing new. I really enjoyed it, though.
The other days, I killed time reading Twelfth Night by Shakespeare and a lot of other books, most of them useless ones such as Gossip Girl's latest novel, Nothing Can Keep Us Together, and Rennison's Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging (which I've reread twice already). There was one book I didn't enjoy at all, and that was the required reading for English 12, The New Anvil Guide to Research Paper Writing. I managed to finish it, and now the idea of a research paper sounds even more intimidating. I mean, a whole book was dedicated to the process!
Anyway, my dad bought a new DVD player, which also had 10,000 songs that you can sing along to. This was good news, because it meant the old Philips DVD player downstairs was now available to be relocated (to my room). Obviously, that translated to hours spent after midnight rewatching our old DVDs, plus some of the new ones.
I played tons of NFSMW as well. I'm still playing Blacklist # 6's requirements, though, even after all this time, because it is seriously not an easy game. Also, long periods of doing nothing (and getting slightly bored) caused me to play hours of Scrabble, sometimes with myself, sometimes with other people.
Mom bought some fireworks for the new year, which we promptly set off at midnight on the last day of December. It was beautiful, and so were all the other fireworks that made a hell of a lot of noise that night. My family and I watched from our terrace, then toasted each other to a prosperous year.
Happy New Year, everyone. It's 2006 already, can you believe it?
