well here comes the holiday season, eh? some friends and i not doing the family thing this week are going to attempt our own thanksgiving feast, in my apartment no less, so i have the pleasure of heading home after our half-day of work to clean my kitchen. now THAT’S how you spend free time. although more paramount is procuring a couple of pumpkin pies, the contribution my lack of cooking skills has prompted me to promise the gathering.

of course, the only upside of not being able to fly home for turkey day is that you are free to add your own flair to the meal, which i am hoping to do with a generous equipment loan from our friend lawrence. that’s right, i’m making homemade mozzarella sticks for thanksgiving dinner and there’s nothing you can do about it other than be jealous. or come over and try some, i guess.

as far as what i’ve been doing lately, well, USC football is swell, heroes keeps getting better, i’m almost through guitar hero II, and i will forgo writing a review for the prestige because the opinions on it are so varied i’m not going to record mine for fear of rebuke. i really liked it to the tune of 4/5, i’d say, but am not sure my position is defensible.
