Happy Holiday Season, Bitches!

Ahhh, Christmas is upon us. And I must admit, it's my favorite time of the year. I love presents, I love snow, I love trees, and dammit, there are times when I love crass commercialism. So a big fuck you to all the grinches out there.

Though I confess, I went to my wife's office Christmas party, and lemme tell you... coming from someone who works in the public sector... the corporate world scares the shit out of me. And her job isn't even that corporate - she's a vet for a large hospital. But there was all sorts of insane pressure on the staff to go, and they had a bunch of weird games and "team building activities", including (and I am not making this up) Corporate Family Feud. It was utterly bizarre. Really, truly made me appreciate what I do.


In other news, I saw The Departed last weekend which was completely awesome. It was the first movie where I've ever really bought into DiCaprio. I mean, I liked The Beach, and Gangs of New York, but I never truly believed him to be a grown up, let alone a tough guy. But I'll tell you... he's something of a bad motherfucker in this. Highly recommended.
