12/01/2002 Archived Entry: "Thanksgiving"

Song: Sea of Love, Fly to the Sky
I'm alive. Yes I am. I'm also glad for Thanksgiving break. I haven't been to the mall in half a year, seriously. O.o; What a social life I have. <.< But I went to the mall the other day and ought two comfy 'activewear' pants and a sweater. I'm in one of them now and lovin' it. >D

We got a new monitor today xD I love it...well, most of it anyway. It's a flat screened, 17" super-thin-high-tech piece of device. :D Only thing is...it's optimized for 1028x1024 resolutions. O.o;; I currently have it on 1024x768 res., and boy does everything look small. *is used to 800x600 res.* Things look blurry already >< on top of which the screen is incredibly bright, making my eyes hurt x_x Our previous monitor had a darkened protective screen in front of the monitor screen, which made it a lot better to stare at. I've already adjusted the brightness and contrast, but it still seems bright on lighter backgrounds. Black backgrounds and such are fine, however.

Don't you just love crappy dramas? O.o I was on my way out of the washroom when I witnessed what was perhaps the fastest death I've viewed yet:

Trin: *strides out of washroom* *glances at TV screen*
drama: *man gets shot by an arrow while riding on a cart* (think old fashioned Chinese drama)
Trin: *strolls over to kitchen and pours tea into cup*
drama: *man's companions carry him by a doorstep and sets him down on ground, man in agony*
Trin: *sips tea* *glances at screen again*
drama: *man's companions weeping by his grave*
Trin: O.o; *sips tea and goes to do homework*

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. :D I was sure busy as heck. x.x For four days, I don't think we were in the house for anything but sleep. <_< Thursday we went to my uncles for Thanksgiving, which was fun since I haven't seen my cousins for about 3 months. Friday was the only day we stayed at home, and I was completely bored. x.x My dad was also home because of the holiday season, although my mom had to go to work. Having my dad home meant no prolonged usage of the computer and no freedom whatsoever. x_x We talked and ate, and I watched The Princess Diaries. xD Saturday was my mom's birthday, and I was decorating the house Friday night so I didn't get up till 11am. We were scheduled to go to my dad's friend's house for a party so we drove for a half an hour to his place, since he lived in a different city. We left right after lunch and strolled around the *huge* mall in that city for 3 hours, then headed over to his place. Today is probably the only day where I do my homework while watching some TV on my couch, while I'm downloading on the computer, :P like any other Sunday. All the best shows are on on Sundays. xD X-Men evolution, Alias, Charmed, etc. Anyway..I'm off to do my homework now xD I can be so easily distracted. @.@ Bet you I'll be doing my homework tonight when I'm watching Alias. xD

You better do your homework young lady, naughty naughty you for putting it off for so long...^^;;

*laughs* Actually Hispanic dramas are the funniest. They have so much over acting in them that it makes me laugh so hard I tear up. I mean it's just ridiculous to watch them.
