So I’m at my parents visiting for the holidays… and I start reading a paper down here… and the thing about the guy on the flight from Paris trying to blow up the airline is on PAGE 5!! What the hell is that? Page 5? On the front page they had some story about “what we’ve learned from the guy with the fake heart…” Ugh. Can’t wait to fly back home…

Feeling melancholy… doesn’t really feel like Christmas. Blah.
