Yesterday was Asarah b'Tevet, but I didn't fast. Emoji dejected I should have set an alarm and woken up before sunrise for breakfast, but I stayed up too late. Sigh.

Like I mentioned in my last post, I'm on vacation now. I tend to save up a big chunk of my vacation and take it at the end of the year, since I get Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day all off, so it's easy to get a long string of days off without using too much time off. That said, I'm not really doing anything exciting. Tomorrow [twitter.com profile] lisekatevans and [twitter.com profile] kryptowright are coming over for dinner and to watch Dark City, and then [twitter.com profile] lisekatevans is having her 40th birthday extravaganza this weekend, so there are events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I went out to Armenian food at Sayat Nova with [tumblr.com profile] goodbyeomelas last night, after Japanese class, and then walked over to Millennium Park to see the holiday illumination. On Christmas Eve I'm participating in the ancient tradition of my people and going out to Chinese food with friends, and on the 27th [facebook.com profile] aaron.hosek and I are continuing our annual year-end tradition and going out to brunch at Svea. I don't have any New Year's plans yet, but we'll see what comes up.

...a lot of these plans are about food. Emoji Kirby smile

Last weekend, my sister [instagram.com profile] wanderluster_kp had enough time off to come down from Michigan, so she and I gathered at my parents' house for the weekend. We ate delicious family dinner, went on a walk with her three dogs, and my parents loaded me down with chocolate and leftover turkey and frozen fish and then [instagram.com profile] wanderluster_kp drove me back into the city. It was nice, since she and I almost never get a chance to talk. This is partially because we never used to want to, but getting older has changed that. After she dropped me off on Sunday, I did chores around the apartment , went to my Call of Cthulhu game in the evening and finished up our run of The Sense of the Slight-of-Hand Man, and then went to sleep late. Definitely been going to sleep pretty late.

Today, I'm planning to get a haircut. That's it. Hooray for vacation. Emoji Weeee smiling happy face
