Dec. 25th, 2008 10:18 pmTwo days of family Christmas over & survived, presents exchanged, three more completely free and lazy days to go. Ha.
It's kind of funny (or maybe not), my (four years younger) sister tends to get the useful household stuff from my parents (gazillion pieces cutlery set this year), I get things like the new Doctor Who DVDs. Maturity and grown-up-ness ahoy. Clearly. Also got a box of chocolates from Altmann & Kühne, which I've wanted and whined about for years, but so far my mother has always balked at the cost - not because of the cost as such, rather the money vs. what you get for it ratio -, so I really love her for having remembered & now I've got this tiny cute nostalgic box with three drawers filled with very tiny chocolates, which is completely adorable, and also delicious.
Came home, watched Ice Age 2 on TV (kind of cute, but much less so than the original), and then channel surfed into Victor/Victoria which I hadn't seen in a long time and enjoyed rewatching until I realised that he does in fact know for certain she's a woman before he kisses her, which I'd somehow managed to miss before, at which point I pretty much lost interest, because it makes the movie kind of safe and boring. I liked my version better. Julie Andrews is still fabulous, though.
