i am so happy that it's friday and that i only have a few more hours of work left until i can go home. working just drains the life outta me, i tell ya. well next year i plan on getting a new job that will hopefully be less life sucking.

i have been trying to get my christmas knitting done but it seems to be neverending. my roommate also just got back which means that i have to work on her present in secret. we also have our friend staying with us this weekend (the one i made the convertible mitts for) so i also have to hide his christmas gift. i plan on making him a london beanie to match his gloves with the leftovers. i started it last night while he was out at a party and am halfway done! i still need to make my brother his hat and start my mom's shawl/scarf and her mittenettes. not to mention all the regular christmas shopping i need to do. i am so screwed.

i got to see a screening of a very long engagement on wednesday, too. i liked it a lot although it is very different from amelie. it's about a woman (audrey tautou) trying to solve the mystery of what happened to her fiancee (an adorable gaspard ulliel) during ww1. it has the jean pierre jeunet sort of strangeness but it's very gritty and serious. lots of bloody battles and trench time. unexpected actors like jodie foster, tcheky karyo and marion cotillard pop up as well as the usual cast of actors he likes to bring on. very enjoyable and beautifully shot.

well i am off to finish off my work before the day ends. i think we're going out to see closer (with gorgeous jude law and dashing clive davis) tonight and are having dinner at zankous chicken. mmm tasty! oh fun note- my roomie checked the messages on the machine today (i never do) and said that there was a message for us reserving a ham that fed 16. on investigation we found that our home number is only one digit off from the honey ham store's number. oh the holiday mischief we could do (but we won't). :)
