happy

what's up? i've been feeling crappy lately. crab cakes? crap cakes?

maybe it's because of all the traffic, and the crowds. i just haven't really gotten into the spirit of Christmas, have i?

my brother and i went DVD shopping yesterday. discs and a player.

i watch discs on my laptop; my brother watches on his PS2. he tells me that we should get a player because if his PS2 lens breaks, it'll cost us 4thousand to replace it. aren't PS2 games DVD's too? should there be a difference?

i thought it doesn't matter if he's conning me. maybe we Do need a player. so we looked for a machine and divvied up the cost. he spent the whole night watching some anime i haven't even heard of.

"do stores still sell Flight of Dragons?", i ask him.

"what's that?"

"what, you're too young to remember?"

"i don't think i was already born." he yawns, wanting to dismiss me.

"what about Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind?"

"don't know that either."

"Galactic_ something Express?"

"nope."

okay. the nice thing about Christmas is that it gives families an excuse to get together, and to avoid getting on each other's nerves.

maybe if we weren't all guys, maybe the household would've been more peaceful. as it is, we are what we are, and Christmas being what it was, it provided what isn't possible on any given day of the year... togertherness. and watching some anime (Naturo?) i haven't heard of in my entire life. it was fun.
