After all, there's only one more sleep 'till Christmas...

Oh, right. I have a blag. I'm sorry.

Well, I will do a quick recap of the past week:

Friday: Spent the day with Rin, went to a party, met people, had fun. I ended up shirtless at the party, like I always do. It was fun.

Weekend: Went to New Orleans with the band. What happens in New Orleans STAYS in New Orleans.

Week: I wrapped presents and hung out with people. Saw Avatar, too.

Actually, I'll take this time to put my thoughts about Avatar on paper. Er... in text.

It was a beautiful movie. The CGI was stunning, and the effects were amazing. It also had one of the best action scenes I've EVER seen in a movie.
But...
It was slow. Very slow. It didn't feel like a movie, it felt like a documentary. I know that was the direction they were going for, but all it did was make the movie drag more than it needed to. Also, the plot was pretty weak and extremely predictable. Predictable to the point where EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED AT THE END, I called a hour earlier. That bad.
Avatar also villainised the wrong person. Instead of making the head-of-operations there the bad guy, the made the leader of the military the bad guy. Sure, he loved killing and mercilessly attacking the natives, but what do you expect? HE'S A MILITARY LEADER! And I must note here that he was also only acting on the orders OF THE GUY IN CHARGE. Blech. Little things like that bug me.

Overall rating: 8/10
I'd certainly watch it again when it comes out on DVD, but there's no way in hell I'm going back into the theatre to see it.



And then two nights ago was OPERATION: DRAGON ROLL. Macey, Hannah, Chis, Erin, and I all stayed the night at Macey's house and played Dragon Age: Orgins the whole time. I was the last person to fall asleep, at around 6:00 AM. It was a good night.


And now, today is Christmas Eve. Woo. Tonight, I'm going to the Davis household for food, and then to my grandparent's house for holiday stuff, and then to church to play music. And then, it will be Christmas and I will post again tomorrow.

So... Yeah. I'm sorry for letting you all down by not delving into the mundane details of my life more often over the past few days. This problem will be alleviated in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience.
