   Some people corporations mostly, think that the christmas season begins sometime on the evening of October 31st. Some people believe in the day after Thanksgiving, which is a lot more reasonable, but still kind of stepping on the previous holidays heels I feel.
   I believe the "christmas season" legally begins on the first of December. Among other things, around this time I don the hat you see in my icon and pretty much wear it all month.
   Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it until I notice people at the grocery store looking at me funny. Then I realize I don't really care if they think it's weird I'm wearing a santa hat.

   Its a nice warm hat. It's with some reluctance that I accept that I no longer have an excuse to wear it once christmas is past.


Movie Reviews!
   This weekend I saw Scott Pilgrim Vs The World at my friend Rob's place. I had never heard of this movie but it was pretty awesome. Its kind of a love story told in kind of the style of a videogame. Sort of. I liked the love interest a lot less than the girl he was dating at the beginning of the movie though. Said love interest never really did anything endearing or awesome or cute or otherwise meritious, whereas this Nives girl he was dating in the beginning is fairly adorable. So wtf Michael Cera? Anyway altogether I give the movie an A

   Then I saw Social Network with my parents. It was very interesting. Its interesting how a guy with basically dismal interpersonal skills managed to get the subtle social attributes right that rocketed facebook beyond other social networks to become a fundamental part of life. B+

Apparently the extras section of the Scott Pilgrim DVD will feature an alternative ending where he chooses to stay with his original girl.

Oh really? Thats good to know. I found Nives infinitely more likeable than Ramona. So his whole pursuit of Ramona over Nives was a big "no no no no no what the hell are you doing????" for me

I am in the same camp. I feel I can only truly appreciate Christmas guilt-free from 1 December-26 December. And I pack in as much as possible!

When I was little I remember nobody put out Christmas stuff until December 1st where I grew up. I was disturbed when I saw wrapping paper for sale at Costco in August!

Yeah, a friend went to resupply on halloween candy the night of halloween, not even midnight yet, and they were taking down the halloween stuff and putting up christmas stuff. ridiculous!!!

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: I saw this very recently with the fam, we all loved it, I especially liked the style, a mix of video game, as you mentioned, and manga or something similar. My husband would completely agree with you about the love interests, girl A was far better than girl B, but girl A wouldn't have made for a very good movie really, no one to conquer so, so I vote for girl B.

Hopefully next time, you will post 2 random photographs to make up for the one lacking for today, right?

I was hoping maybe at the very end he'd choose Nives over Ramona.. and they kind of made it look like he was about to do that, which made me on the edge of my seat for a moment hoping he would. :D And I think I heard there's an alternate ending where he does?

I loved Scott Pilgrim. I just saw it last night. I laughed a lot. I liked Ramona, her style and all. Hooray for 7 evil exes.

I just didn't find Ramona very endearing, she came off as icey and uptight, imo.

But I too loved the movie (:
