So last night the option was 1981 trivial pursuit, or Star Wars trivial pursuit.
We opted for 1981 trivial pursuit. WRONG CHOICE. not only were the categories all difererent but they were all dated, and unless you were around then you cant answer almost any of these 27 year old questions.
So after attempting that we moved over to star wars trivia...now i knew peter knew a lot of star wars stff, but this was ridiculous! he could quote any scene the questions were taken from. wtf. Next time i'm bringing a book

On Stolen Internet
Well, i've almost made it through christmass. All I can say is that its world longest holiday. First you have christmass eve dinner, then you just sit around chatting all night. And then you have the morning stockings and presents and brunch etc. Then you have a little downtime during the day awkwardly waiting for another meal.
I'm used to one meal and then maybe hanging out a little after and thats it. The presents do help though :)
Currently everyone is reading to themselves in the living room while i was sitting there eatting cheese, so i decided to come back upstairs and play on my computer a bit for lack of anything else to do. Next year, I"ll bring a book. Lesson learned.

Almost the holidays
This weekend was pretty fun. some of which I cant blog about. some of which I can.
We went to Lindsay and Chris's holiday party "cookies and cocktails" which was delish all around, and enjoyed playing guitar hero.
I mad a LOT of latkes. my entire apt smells like them. it was nice at first, now it sucks.
Also I got to see the Mann/Farmer/Criss/Gwinn contingency. Had lots of balls. LOTS. and got lots of wonderful presents, most of which I cant blog about either.
The next few days might be a little sparse on blogs. Tomorrow i fly to new hampshire, and unless i can figure out how to get my computer on peter's parents' wifi i probably wont be able to blog, then I return to dc for the weekend and Dan and Beth's wedding at the rod and reel (hehehe, thats for you jessica, since its no longer called the rod and reel) Then BACK to new england but Boston this time. so its going to be a busy few days.
Thats all i have for now....

Girls Night
Last night i went out with the girls, and paul who was a stand in for a last minute cancellation.
after some "holiday festivities" our night ended at coco sala which was AWESOME.
The mac and cheese "main course" rocked. it was a perfect little mac and cheese tartlet. Oh and i got a pear martini thing which was out of this world.
A ms mathers and i split our dessert because it sounded overwhelming. we were right. we got coco grownup. you can see one of the courses on my tumblr rsoxrach.tumblr.com
The first course of the dessert was a gellatenous coffee thing and a boston creme donut.
The second course was some malted chocolate drink, a peanutbutter icecream thing covered in chocolate, a chocolate cupcake, and bananas foster
The dessert of the desserts was a cheesecake lolly pop covered in pop rocks, and a chocolate cone filled with mint chip stuff. DELISH. Thanks lindsay for being such a great date.
I got home to a very tired peter awaiting a cuddle, to his dismay I was "pre hungover from all the chocolate". lol. I'm still feeling it today.

West Wing Season 2
Costco was selling west wing seasons for 15 bucks each, so we bought season one as i mentioned earlier, but waited on the next few seasons because i figured it would be there when we needed the next few seasons.
I was wrong
So we ordered season 2 on ebay (since normal stores sell it for 50 bucks). It arrived last night with NO protective packaging. The DVDs were ok, but the box was ruined. We were annoyed to start off with.
Now comes time to watch them since season 1 ended with a cliff hanger (which i'd seen before since i watched the series when it first aired on tv).
SEASON 2 DISC 1 WAS MISSING! wtf. They gave us TWO disc 2's :(
So i've emailed the guy to see what he can do about it. I'm NOT happy.

Holiday Party
Every year there is a holiday party in my building, and every year I skip it in all its awkwardness.
Not this year!
This year i had a partner in crime so we swooped in, got lots of food, and left. It was worth it. We only chatted with one person, and he was pretty nice, so all in all it worked out pretty well :)

Weekend
For starters the Dark Knight on Blu Ray is beyond awesome. We had some drinks, and some chips and dip and all that fun stuff and mike, tristan, katie, and treon ended up coming over. The Imax scenes were so crisp and clear it was ridiculous. Then we watched one of the bonus features on the gadgets in the movie. The car is pretty cool.
Sat we spent the day over the bridge with the Mann/Criss/Farmers. It was Jonas's birthday which as predicted was a lot of fun :) so many cute little kids running around.
