Hmm… Okay. This was all we could think of as a Christmas Day movie for my mom, my little cousin, my grandma and myself. It was actually pretty cute and amusing. It wasn’t even really bad, although I almost fell asleep at times. I like Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson was adorable. There was a little Brokeback Mountain reference and the best part was a cameo by a certain actor of Chapelle Show fame. Carla Gugino was in it too and she is hot.

As for zee holiday, it was pleasant. I bought my mother a silver iPod Nano, David bought me a Cowon A2 30GB Video Player and I bought him a 20″ Dell Flatscreen monitor. Good Christmas.
Last Friday, Nancy H. and Kevin W. from work went Christmas Caroling with me at Scripps Mercy Hospital. Actually, it wasn’t as impromptu as it sounds. I actually sent an email out to all of DivX asking for volunteers to help cheer up patients who have to spend their holiday in the hospital. Unfortunately, a band of three is all we could manage. However with 4 extensive rehearsals, we got pretty far. We managed to have harmony or guitar accompaniment (I can only go as far as open chords) for every song.
It was a great experience. Jed, a hospital visitor who was there to see his parents, took some pictures of us. Nancy is getting me his card so I can email him tomorrow and ask for a copy. At that time, I will post more about our Christmas Caroling adventure!
Happy Belated Holidays!
