Ok so I spent the majority of my life not able to buy alcohol in Massachusetts, and just around turning 21 I moved away. I have returned to Mass this winter holiday season and spent way too much effort trying to buy myself alcohol.
MA has a stupid, stupid rule (not law) where most stores do not sell to any person without a valid MA license, and if you live out of state and do not have an MA license, you need a passport. Some stores even take this rule one step further and do not sell to one person in a party if another person in the party (the one not making the sale) does not have an instate license.
So as you can imagine, I ended up hiding in the car and sending my friend in to secretly buy me beer...like a 17 year old, not a 27 year old. wtf.

Home for the Holidays
I have made it to boston today. So far I've attended a xmas celebration, gone to redhook brewery, and tried to see the harry potter exhibit at the museum of science, but the museum was sold out and mobbed. I am now home at my parents hosue just enjoying the silence, cooking, and generally veging out.

Movie Review (not a rant!)
We finally made it to avitar in IMAX on our 4th attempt, and it was certainly worth it. The one drawback, is that the first half of the movie made me motion sick while I was getting use to the 3D etc. I thought i was gonna lose my movie nachos at one point, and after spending 11 bucks for a tiny bag of tostitos and cheese dip, I was determined to hold on to that. If i saw it again i'd probably not see it in imax hoping that would be less intense.
The bio-luminescent world that James Cameron created was beautiful. That alone is reason enough to watch the movie. The 3D was really great too (hence my motion sickness). It was cool becuase it brought oyu into the movie, like when wood burned, ashes would come out to the audience, or when the jellyfish type seeds flew around you could see them pulsing all around you like little tinafores.
The story itself was really good and very sweet and dont worry also full of action. The plot wasn't all that original, but I didnt mind that too much. I kinda think of it as a cross between lord of the rings and the matrix...both solid movie series (i dont want to hear any of you nay sayers about the last matrix movie).
So my advice: Go see the movie, bring gingerale incase you feel queesy, and buy your tickets in advanced (oh yeah, and try not to go during a snow storm)

What is today?
XKCD pretty much shows you how i feel in today's comic strip. I actually had to ask my office mate when xmas eve was last week.
Anyway, what do I call today? I understand its Christmas eve tonight...but it cant be that all day. Eve by definition is the evening. So for the past few weeks when people ask me which day I'm flying to New Hampshire I tell them "Christmas Eve Day". Everyone laughs when I say that, but really it makes the most sense so I'll keep saying that.
Anyway, off to the airport for a week in various parts of new england! Call me if you are around

Arts And Crafts Type Weekend
I spent a good portion of the weekend cooking, sewing, and shopping! How girly of me! Sometimes I guess I just get into super girly mode. I cooked Latkes and parisian macaroons, and "adult" sugar cookies (with tristan and mike), and sewed a table cloth, and enjoyed the outlet shopping.
