Christmas/New Years etc

I've been trying to do a video blog for a while, but it hasn't been working out too well.  My computer hasn't been cooperating and my digi camera needs a mini tripod or something to sit straight on.  I guess I'll make due with my written words once again.

Christmas was a good time.  I'm used to 20 degree weather and snow on the ground, but here it was like 78 degrees and definitely no snow.  I watched about 5 Christmas movies in a 2 day span to get in the spirit.  Elf, Bad Santa, Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and Charlie Brown Christmas did the trick.  I had dinner with a few friends at Dukes, which is solid American cuisine.  It was similar to Thanksgiving, only a few more options and was all you can eat.... obviously made some money back that way ;) .  Late night my friend Matt and I tried watching NBA, but NBA.TV was acting as the Grinch apparently.  We did get to see some hoops though, so it was a very merry Christmas after all.

I don't have any firm plans for New Years Eve, but will likely go out for a little while.  I hear it gets pretty crazy downtown so I'll likely check that out.  Going into 2012 everything is still very much up in the air.  I grabbed a bunch of brochures of things to do in Chiang Mai, which I may or may not partake in.  There's zip lining, rafting, atv-ing, elephant stuff, and more.  All of it costs decent money, so I guess I'll see how things go.

My island trip has been put on hold as our friend is no longer coming.  I still might do something on my own, but no plans as of yet.  I have complete freedom, so I might just catch the next plane somewhere, who knows.  I'll probably at least wait til after New Years so it's not quite as ridiculous to travel.  That's it for now, have a good New Year everyone!!!!
