I’ve blogged before about my lack of Christmas spirit (see Silver Bells), and this year has certainly been no exception. In fact this year might be the worst. It could be the fact that I’m in a new location which is already ruining any sense of familiar, or it could be that I’ve just grown …

My Random Thoughts
Snow!
Ah the romance of the first snow of the year. Love it. Hear’s outside my window.
Lincoln Square Christmas
There is something incredibly romantic and heart warming about Christmas in Lincoln Square. Now I’m just waiting for the first snow.
Me Neither, I Was Just Asking – Family Events
Have you ever met a girl at a family event, thought to yourself “hey, she’s pretty cute, maybe I’ll test the flirting waters a little bit,” then after about two hours have it suddenly occur to you that though you haven’t met before, you are in fact related to her? Me neither, I was just …
Some interesting TV content
By the way, I’ll be posting lots about Chicago stuff soon, however, I just wanted to quick mention something. So I already have cable and internet installed (Comcast). And when flipping through the channels there was a program called “Totally Nude Divorcees.” What an oddly specific show. Unfortunately I apparently have to pay to watch …
Goodbye Grand Rapids
(I did write this on Wednesday night October 31st, but couldn’t post it until now) I’m sitting here in my almost completely empty apartment, with my whole life in a truck outside, trying desperately to figure out how to say goodbye to this place.

So I’m now moving to Chicago in less than a week. I went apartment searching last Friday and Saturday, and we ended up finding a place. I’m planning on posting pictures of everything later, but before I do that, I need to be a little more sentimental. I was having this conversation with my friend …
New Car’d
So I bought a new car. My last two cars now have both had transmissions die, so let’s keep our fingers crossed for this one. It’s a Hyundai Elantra 2005. And as always, with the dawn of one age comes the death of another (and I tend to be sentimental about this kind of stuff, …
Horror Movies
So since we’re getting close to Halloween, I’m going through my annual “want to watch horror movies all the time” phase, so I tivo’d a bunch of random horror movies, and just in case any of you were maybe expecting otherwise, Tremors 4 is really really bad.
Monster Channel?!
Am I seeing this correctly? I was just scanning tivo.com (Online Scheduling) to see what good horror movies I could Tivo in the next few weeks to Halloween, and I noticed that Dish apparently has a “Monster” channel. I’m looking online, so I’m actually not entirely sure if I get that channel or not, but …
