On Darkon, Chinese Democracy and Thanksgiving

So I didn't feel like getting drunk tonight and instead chose to watch Darkon, a documentary about people with low self esteem who choose to partake in medieval role playing as a means of compensating for their social shortcomings. It made me glad that my self esteem is not so low as to dress up in chain mail and stage fake battles. 

Another exciting thing I did today was listen to the new Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy. It's bad. I only listened to two songs then had to take a nap. It took so long for Axl to get his shit together that Dr. Pepper promised to give everyone in America a free can of DP if the album was released by the end of 2008. Fuck yeah! 

So over the past few days I've received about 100 text messages from my brother as to Thanksgiving plans including one yesterday that read, "You are ruining Thanksgiving :(" The most recent says he got us reservations at a buffet downtown. Buffets ruin Thanksgiving, not Julia. 

Four eyes

So I got some new glasses in the mail today. They were only $15! That might explain why I have a pounding headache and want to vomit. It might also have something to do with this box I had to fill out which read, "It is very important that you obtain this measurement. Most people are 62, but don't guess!" C'mon, like I'm going to measure the distance between my pupils, of course I entered "62" who wouldn't? Well, now I'm just going to have to suffer constant vertigo. There are worst things, I suppose.

holiday!

Well, Halloween is over. Here is what it looked like: 

I know, unbeelievable, right.

Moving on to the next holiday, election day is tomorrow. So I made these:

No, this photo was not taken from a Martha Stewart magazine. Really, I made them myself! One of them has a candle in it because it's Alberta's birthday today. I thought I'd bee nice and give her an election cupcake a day early. I might even tell her it's a birthday cupcake. She probably won't know the difference.
