"Only the beginning of the adventure."

As you've probably guessed/noticed, I haven't done much during this little vacation. Friday I watched countless hours of DVDs. Ah, it was enjoyable, but it seemed like a waste of time. But I guess if that's what is relaxing to me then I should be able to do it during my vacation... right? I would've liked to do more stuff with my friends, but I don't like being the one to initiate it. If they want to do something, then let them call.

Vanessa showed up on Thursday. Later in the evening, Ross and Ryan came over and we played games. Dutch Blitz is addicting. It's like a big, heavy ball... once it gets rolling, it's easier to just keep it rolling than try to stop it. Then Ben came over and we watched The Island. That was an ok movie. Many parts of it reminded me of other movies (Star Wars, The Matrix, and others), but I liked it anyway.

Last night I went with Ross, Isaiah, and others to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It was pretty good. I thought it was going to be corny, but it was definitely good. I especially liked the music in some parts... and that would be why I bought the soundtrack.

Afterwards, Ross came back to my house and we basically did nothing until midnight. Happy New Year.

Ryan and I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tonight. I liked it, but the book was much better. I guess the movies are just going in the same direction as the books did. I liked Voldemort in the movie. He was kind of freaky in the books, but in the movie he was a fun bad guy... like Hannibal or the killers from Scream.
