Murray Christmas!

Happy Hollandaise and Murray Christmas! Stupid Delta didn't deliver my bag like they said they would on Friday, but I went to the airport myself and picked it up. Its totally ridonkulous! I mean, how could no one on that flight have their bags? Something totally screwy is going on and I don't know what kind of dog and pony show they're running there at Delta, but doesn't anyone check that the baggage handlers are putting the right luggage on the right flight?! I mean, one or two I could understand. But packing the flight with entirely wrong luggage, that's un-possible! But at least I got my bags and wrapped my X-mas presents and got ready in time for the Christmas Eve festivities, which consisted of me eating lots of pieces of honey baked ham and lumpia and singing karaoke. 7500centfish and isabel79 came over. T brought her ps2 as well, but she only had one mike, so still couldn't do duets/face offs in Karaoke Revolution 3. I shoulda asked her if she was bringing her ps2 up for the break, I coulda brought one of the jillion games I haven't gotten around to finishing, or bring one of my mikes. I got my all time highest score ever, a perfect 50000 for Hoobastank's "The Reason" (I know, I am such a dork) I thought 50k was like absolute zero, you could get close to it but never actually reach it. But now I know. Oh, my bro sparkyboy had some eps of Degrassi, the ones that haven't shown here yet as well as the Manny preggers eps, which were apparently too scandalous for the US.

( So I watched some of those. )

Anyways, went to the 11pm service. And da-yam, little bro's crush from back when he still liked girls is looking mighty fine nowadays. Totally mad cute. I was telling A to hook me up since she's of no use to him, but alas, she's going out with andyrichtersracistgirlfriendv('Some Jew'). Then we got back and opened presents. Yes, that's how we do it in our family, none of this waiting for X-mas morning. Hit the 11pm mass, then open up presents after midnight and just go to sleep when we pass out. It was good haul, got lots of bank, and don't have to worry about trying to cram things in my bag to take back. Made the usual X-mas trip to Jersey today. Not too bad this year. Went to a new house this year. It was pretty cool. As with Christmas Eve, had honey baked ham, lumpia, and some lasagna and won-ton soup. Oh, and salami and cheese and crackers to snack on. And a nice chocolatey cake for desert. And then Karaoked. Alas, it was all old stuff. Some X-mas songs, there was a Carpenters/Abba disk. And various James Taylor/Bread/Dan Fogleberg/Kansas/Eric Clapton songs. And the Eagles' "Hotel California". I do like that spanish version they do in the Big Lebowski though. Anyhoo, dueted a bunch with this snowflake girl, Allison, who's the sister of my mom's best friend's son's wife. I totally f'ed that up. She seemed to find me interesting, but I thought the other dude she was with was her boyfriend so I was acting slightly disinterested. I later found out it was her brother. Oops. Of course, afterwards everyone tells me what an asshole I was for being so aloof when she was being all friendly to me. Like I said, my bad.

And holy crap, I had a bunch of white hairs pulled out! I'm not that old!
