Am. Tired.

Went to my parents' for dinner with family.

Left here at 5:30.

Got home seven hours later.

Am tired, am very tired of family, but have to wake up at 11:30am at the latest to go to BRUNCH with the family.

God, all this family crap right before CHRISTMAS? Insanity.

Good news is that I am the proud owner of Lost, Season 1 on DVD, courtesy of my uncle. (Christmas came early, so to speak, since he and his GF are leaving on Monday and won't be here for Christmas.)

Bad news, I may injure every member of my family before the end of brunch tomorrow, because they ANNOY ME TO DEATH. <insert bright smile here>

Bed. Very soon.

(Relatedly, one of the most frustrating things in the world is dreaming about hanging out with someone you really care about, and they start to say something that you know is extremely important, and then YOUR ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF, shattering the dream into a zillion pieces. I would like to recapture that dream tonight, please.)

Hee.

Happiness is watching Pilot Part I of Lost with the audio commentary on, then being disappointed when the episode is over and then being elated when you remember THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER EPISODE WITH COMMENTARY to follow!

I have a confession to make. I generally hate audio commentary. Drives me mad.

But I love it on this. I guess it's because I know the episodes so well (or at least better than most of the things I've watched) that I can keep track of where we are in the ep while listening to the commentary. It's awesome.

I still love Locke's orangey smile. Hence the use of this icon.
