This video is strangely compelling. It's so cool how the text moves like that.

Just because it made me laugh like a crazy person.
Day 25 :: Your day, in great detail
I am going to do Xmas, because that's the 25th day.
Day 26 :: Your week, in great detail
Monday was my first day back in CT. I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday hanging out at the house, spending quality time with my Grandmother and the poodles during the day, and eating yummy dinners with my Grandmother and my parents in the evenings. My grandmother and I at breakfast and lunch together every day and we had really great conversations. I've especially liked hearing her talk about my paternal grandparents who died when I was in elementary school, and stories about her and my grandfather, or stories about when she was a girl and a young woman. Thursday I went into the City. I met my sis for lunch and we ate at this really yummy ramen place that was playing a very random selection of Namie's songs the whole time! Then we went to a Japanese bakery and got montblanc, tea and macarons. She stayed out with me for way longer than she probably should have but we had such fun chatting. Then I wandered around Barnes & Nobles and got a call from Subsy saying that she'd finished work early! I met up with her and then we went to Kinokuniya where she got the last copy of Hiro's book, and I got a fun looking mystery story about an ojousama sleuth and her sarcastic butler. Then we went to a favorite Chinese place of hers where we had the best Peking duck I've ever had in my life. It seriously blew me away with deliciousness. We also had a hot pot, which was yummy and spicy and hilarious because the staff came over to discuss how amazing it was that we, like Chinese people, liked to eat hot pot on a cold night. Then we went to Karaoke with J, and sang for 2 and 1/2 hours. We wanted to sing more, but alas, we couldn't get anymore time. The next morning Subsy and I accidently woke up at 7:30 AM, but it was nice because we got to have a leisurely morning chatting before I had to brave the public transportation back to Grand Central Station. I'm so glad that both Em and Subsy are in NY now because it means I get to see them whenever I go home to visit my family, which happens at least once each year. When I got back to the house, I baked my Xmas cake, which was a three layer gingerbread cake frosted with whipped cream.
Christmas morning I wrapped the presents I'd brought and put them by the tree and then we all got coffee and opened presents. I got my new iPod which is an i-Pod touch that I have christened G-Dragon. I also got the most fluffy blanket in the world from my cousins, various sweaters, some more pink cooking accroutrements for the kitchen, etc. Everyone like their presents, and my mom wore her Adam Lambert shirt I got her for dinner that night. Most of the rest of the day was spent cooking with Mom and Grace, who is a co-worker/friend of hers who came for Christmas dinner because she couldn't got back home to Australia for the holidays. For dinner we had Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding, turnip souflee, potatoes and fennel gratin and green beans. We opened Christmas Crackers, and there was nothing in Hank's, which he said was a metaphor for his life. LOL. The next day was the blizzard, so we stayed inside and watched the snow.
