R&R at 44666...
well it has been a looooong time since i have updated this beast, but for the record i have updated more often than my even LAZIER sister sarah. i guess its just a by-product of the end of the semester and being on Christmas break.
as the title implies, it's been a lot of lounging around and relaxing going on here at my parents place north lawrence (aka 'nolo'). and yes, that is the actual ZIP code...for those of you who don't know why that is funny/ironic, i am not going to explain it to you because it's just too late and all i will do is make fun of you.
anyway, it's been a lot of sleeping in, eating, watching movies, and the occasional trip out to church (Christmas Eve & Christmas services) and shopping (yeah, i even entered hollister yesterday...it's like shopping at a club - i haven't been in there in 6 years). i finally decided it was time to update, not that anything really out of the ordinary has happened (at least from what one would expect from a david's family break).
Christmas was really good, and although we had church services on consecutive days (reminds me of Easter sunrise and the regular service following) my dad managed to make the sermon on sunday really short (we are talking record-time short) and we were all able to enjoy the choir music and all that stuff.
the previous day, after the Christmas Eve service my family went out for the usual tradition of going out to eat at a 24-hour open restaurant (used to be denny's back in Ashland...thank goodness we don't go to that restaurant anymore) and now it's IHOP since moving to nolo. during this time my sisters were able to convince the rents to let us open all the present that night instead of the next day (Christmas day). this was actually anchored by the reasoning that we could take a nap and not have to worry about the present-opening festivities on sunday afternoon, if we just opened them Christmas Eve. well they caved and we had fun...taking 4-hour naps on sunday afternoon...oh and the presents were cool too.
i got a lot of new clothes, luckily picked out with the consultation of my sister sarah, so they should work pretty well. i also got this really cool figurine from rachel, i would never have guessed one could combine the OSU vs Michigan rivalry with fish, but she somehow found a way to do so and pulled it off. i'll have to post a picture later when i get the chance...it's really something to behold, and i know my roommates will be very jealous! i also got the next seinfeld seasons that i had asked for and some other movie stuff. overall it was a great Christmas and nice to spend time with the whole family once again. i hope you are all enjoying a good break as well.
ok well i have a lot of other stuff to do today, so i'll have to continue this later...especially to report on the indian movies (courtesy of rakhi) i have been watching with my family recently. i must say that the actors are very entertaining, the actresses are very attractive, and the bollywood style is quite addictive, so i'm definitely not complaining so far - especially about the actress part-! <:><

Amrita Rao, one of the main actresses from 'Main Hoon Na' (means -I am here now-), definitely one of my favorite indian movies so far.
