I get such a thrill from seeing the Christmas decorations going up around the neighborhood. I now live in one of those neighborhoods that ferociously competes with their light and other paraphenalia. I thought Halloween was excessive, but Christmas here is completely over the top. For Halloween, one house had a massive spider web covering the door with a giant spider hovering in the corner. Driving down Somerset, I saw at least three nativity scenes, four snowman stand up statues and one giant blow up Santa Clause. I feel like every family thinks they're the Griswalds from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
I ran some errands this evening and made a stop at the local Winn Dixie. After collecting my usual groceries, I realized I need deoderant and casually made my way over to the appropriate aisle. As I was searching for my reliable Gillette Cool Wave, I found the recent phenomenon that is body spray. I must admit that I've been sucked in by the Axe and Tag commercials. I took a deep breath and threw some Axe into my cart. Ladies...my trepidation grows with anticipation on my first outing wearing the body spray. I've seen the commericals of women throwing themselves at men wearing the marketed body spray. Should I be afraid? Honestly, is it a cheap cologne or is there something more to it that I am missing? Please express your opinion with zeal.
I finished The Confederacy of Dunces. It is drawn together at the end brilliantly. The climax has that satifying notion of bringing together all the subtle and not so subtle pieces that have been floating in the ether of the entire book. Well done John Kennedy Toole. I highly recommend the read. Even though he would need to wear a fat jacket, I do believe Will Ferrel could play a convincing Ignatius J. Reilly. We shall have to wait.
I also received my digital camera in the mail! It was like Christmas early! Or Hannukah for that matter. Maybe I'm turning Christian like straight men can turn gay, haha (okay, bad joke). Anyway, hope all is well around the world. G'night.
