It's cold in this house. I guess it was a bad call on my part to remove my hoodie. But sometimes I make bad decisions, and just have to stick with them. Know what I mean? But I think I'll survive. It'll just be that much nicer when I get under my covers after I write this damn thing. So what did I do today? Oh yes. Well, I spent most of the day playing video games with my brother, but I had to take a break from that in order to shower and shave. Why was I making myself so pretty? Because I had an eye doctor appointment, apparently. But I got some good news from the eye doctor. The drops have been helping with the infection. So now I get to spend this week taking them three times a day instead of four. And next week, I get to take them twice a day. Also, I get to put the ol' contacts in next week, as well. Except they aren't the ol' contacts at all. They're a brand new kind that I've never tried before. They aren't the hard lenses I had thought they were going to be, but I am just fine with that. After finding out all of this fancy stuff, I took a ride to CVS to pick up some more eye drops. While there, I also did a little shopping for personal hygiene products. I got myself some cotton swabs, a two pack of deodorant, and some contact lens cleaner. I'm all stocked up on products used to keep me presentable in public. Good for me. Then I made my triumphant return home, where I had a lovely turkey burger for dinner.

Can we talk about how turkey is probably the greatest meat around? Oh man. Just thinking about it is making me really psyched for Thanksgiving. I didn't even get to have a proper Thanksgiving dinner last year. I had a vegetarian Thanksgiving. And that was down in North Carolina with my grandparents, too. My grandmother on my dad's side is quite the cook. So I was missing out on some pretty great turkey, and various Polish foods. So not only did I not get any turkey, but I missed out on kielbasa, and bigos, and gwumpkies, as well. For those who don't know, kielbasa is Polish sausage, bigos is a stew made with sauerkraut, mushrooms, various other veggies, and whatever meat is laying around. Gwumpkies are stuffed cabbage. So yeah, I was missing out on some great stuff. But my grandmother did end up making me some fantastic vegetarian dishes. She made me some sort of southwestern casserole that was great, and an even better casserole that featured zucchini and squash, and was covered in a layer of cheese. That ended up being the highlight of my meal. I also ended up having about a ton of mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. So last year's Thanksgiving definitely wasn't a bust, but it would have been nice had I been able to eat a little bit (lot bit) of everything. Oh well! I wised up, and now I have this year's Thanksgiving to look forward to! This year I'm going with my family up to my cousin's house. Now I won't be served all of those delicious Polish dishes, but I'm pretty sure I won't be let down. And if I am, I'll be sure to make my way to every one of your houses, and feast on your leftovers. Either way, I hope to be eating Thanksgiving leftovers for awhile after Thanksgiving. Man, I need to stop talking about Thanksgiving. Not only am I making myself very hungry, but now I can't make a neat Thanksgiving post next week. Well, except for after Thanksgiving when I let you all know how great Thanksgiving '09 was. But who knows when I'll even find time to post during Thanksgiving break. I'm going to be trying to fit in as much hangout action with friends as I can. Unfortunately, that leaves this hear blog on the back burner. But it should also make for some wild stories when I do get back to updating the blog. I already have some fun plans lined up for Thanksgiving break. It should hopefully be a pretty eventful couple of days. You know, unless I end up working a ton. Alright. Well now I'm just rambling. I'm very sorry about that.

Oh yeah! Remember back in late October when I said my brother was going for his driver's test. Well he didn't end up passing. But he just retested today, and he passed. Of course, it's easy to pass when you take the easy Danbury test. His first try was in Waterbury. That sounds like it would suck. But now my brother has his license, but still lacks any desire to really drive. Oh well. I'm sure that's all going to change now that I'm going to stop giving him rides to places. I'm not a god damn chauffeur, dammit! But it's cool that he passed his test.

Well I think that's about all I have for you guys today. I'm going to go to bed now. And tomorrow I'm going to try my hardest to get back to work on writing and finishing up new songs. I said I was going to do that today, but I didn't. I'm a jerk. But you guys need to keep me on track. So remind me throughout the day that I should be making music. Keep me focused! Also, remind me that I need to make an appointment for a haircut. I'm counting on you guys! Alright. It's bed time. I'll see you guys tomorrow!
