mercy_angel_09 | A Hard Day's Night (Reply)

Today is the Winter Solstice (Yule, for those who celebrate it), and while I'm wondering if there's anything going on at our local (okay, it's not local, it's about a two or so hour drive from where I live) Stonehenge, I seriously doubt it because it's raining.

This also happens to be my brother's last day in town, so I went over to my mom's house around lunchtime and hand brunch with them (Swedish pancakes and sausage) before playing a few multiplayer games of

Diddy Kong Racing DS

and

Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I also watched my brother play a few different songs in the

Beatles Rock Band

(hence the title of this entry). Over all, it was nice to spend time with them, because I hardly ever see them. Now, I understand that with my brother, he lives in Miami. It's not like it's easy to see him. However my mom, youngest brother and younger sister live about a mile from my apartment and I still only manage to see them about once a month. Twice a month during the holiday season. Strangely enough, my step-dad often tells me that they never see me...but then he complains when I do show up to see them. Go figure.

Anyway, I'm finally done with my Christmas shopping. The last gift is currently hiding in my car and will be wrapped either really late tonight (after the person it is intended for goes to bed) or tomorrow afternoon. I also need to get going on

chaosblue's garters. The one that will be tossed will be fantastically tacky and weighted down so it will cause pain upon impact while the one that she'll keep will be very pretty. Mwahahahaha.

I'm more or less ready for the holidays. I just have to survive the rest of the week.
