This week I was going to do a list of crazy things my Poli Sci T.A. has said, but it turns out his insanity does not translate well into list form. Perhaps sometime this week I will post some of my transcripts. Example: "So we colonize their country and force our religion on them and make them eat a bunch of cake or something. No, no, I didn't mean cake. I meant slavery and oppression." And then he starts talking about his new iPod Touch or whatever. He's NUTS. Also, he is exceptionally well dressed. He wears cuff links. Who the hell wears cuff links? Rich dudes from Boston apparently. Fun Fact: Everything I know about cuff links I learned from Peter Pan.
ANYWAY, since I am not going to do that I have to make a list about something else. I have been thinking a lot about Christmas lately (it all started with that crazy guy at the Modest Mouse show...) so I could talk about that, but Christmas is important and I am not mentally prepared. THAT is what I will talk about next week. I saw red and green wrapping paper in Wal Mart yesterday and it complete warmed my heart. I am soooo excited for Christmas it's crazy. Which brings us to an (admittedly kind of lame) list:
Stuff Other Than Christmas That I Am Excited About In November and December
- Going to Saskatoon this weekend for the purposes of seeing Cuff the Duke and generally hanging out. If it were going just to see Cuff the Duke that would be absurd, because they played in Regina on Friday.
- The end of classes. Don't get me wrong, I love my classes. Part of the reason the end of classes is exciting is because it is followed shortly by the start of new, different classes. But I also love not going to class. The end of this semester is awesome on multiple levels, obviously.
- Stars on the 23rd!
- Knitting lesson this week! Or maybe next week, in the event that I have to go out for supper with my sister tomorrow night. Not that I don't want to go out for supper with my sister, but the timing is unfortunate. I am a terrible person. Today is her birthday. Happy birthday sister who will never read this!
- Seeing all my Edmonton and Calgary family during holidays. I miss everyone a lot.
- Christmas. I know, by definition of this list Christmas should not be on it, but I can't help it. Did I mention that there was ribbon beside the wrapping paper?
Anyway, I should probably go, as this is getting less coherent with every sentence. I have been not writing an essay all day, which is exhausting. I did clean the hell out of my kitchen though...

I LOVE Chistmas! I just do, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. So what is actually great about it? Well there is all that family bonding for one and the food is awsome and there is presents! What more could a holiday need?
Now that that is out of the way
(whew)!
Anway, thanks for the post it was a pleasant surprise on a Wednesday morning.
Love Christmas. (And cufflinks.)
All the school stress is gone and you don't even really have to worry about driving when it's slippery out because you can just camp out in your house and look at the tree and wait for your family to come with lots of food and presents. What's better?
