Act Swiftly Awesome Packyderm

Not too much has happened in the past two days. Yesterday Josh came over and we watched Horton Hears A Who which was hilarious. It truly was one of the funnier movies of the year. I found myself being lost in its simple fun that gets away from us as we mature. After the movie was over Josh, my dad, and I all went to Salsarita's for dinner because Josh had a coupon for it. I had never eaten there, but I recommend it strongly to people who like Tex-Mex food. It's a lot of like Moe's Southwest Grill except with a little more variety on the menu. I ordered a Steak Burrito as did my father. Josh ordered some enchiladas; all of which were delicious (I tried them all). After our meal Josh went home and so did my dad and I. Once home I just relaxed and enjoyed some music until I went to bed around midnight.
Today was more of the same. I watched The Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson which wasn't that bad. The story wasn't very deep, but how could it really be. The plot is that Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson's characters are diagnosed with cancer and both have about six months to live. They make a list of all the things they want to do before they die and they go do them. What really stuck out to me was the exceptional jobs Freeman and Nicholson do with their characters. Morgan as a grandfather who is struggling in his marriage of sixty-six years and Jack as a lonely, angry billionaire seeking a connection. The movie does come with a heart felt ending that does make you value the meaning of life a little more.
After the movie I was trying to get a little human interaction going with a pathetic outcome. I called up Chelsea to see if she wanted to hang out but it turns out she was having a bad day and didn't want to do anything. So I tried to text Maggie to chat with her on the phone but she was in West Virginia on her way to Chicago so she couldn't really talk. Inbetween these my mother did call me and told me that it would be better if I spent Christmas Eve at my dad's house so I could have Christmas dinner out there with her. This suited me quite well as now I am able to attend Mike L's family Christmas Eve party they have every year. I'm excited to go and mingle.
After all of this I called Alex to talk to him in Georgia and he was just as bored as myself. We chatted for about half an hour or so before I went to take a shower. After the shower I took an hour long nap. When I woke up my dad had food from Steak and Shake and we watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. It was ok, but we watched it via bootleg so the quality was horendous.
Kristina, my sister, was supposed to come eat dinner with us tonight, but I guess she forgot. It kind of makes me sad, I'll admit, that I try to stay in touch with her and do things, but it doesn't seem like the effort is always there on her part. I mean, I'm sure she is trying her best but it is always me that calls her; never the other way around. I just don't want to be one of those adults that sees his family only on some holidays.
