merry christmas!

Every year my family watches "Scrooge" on Christmas Eve. It's our favorite movie version of A Christmas Carol. We've been watching it since I was 4 years old. My mother had recorded it off the tv onto a vhs tape, which may still be hanging out in a closet somewhere in my parents' house (we've finally upgraded to a dvd version). If you haven't seen it you're missing out. Seriously. Albert Finney is so great as Ebenezer Scrooge, and this version may have my favorite interpretation of Bob Cratchit ever. Here's a little taste for you. 

Also, someone has uploaded the entire thing onto youtube, if you feel so inclined to watch it from beginning to end.

what the &@#!

Things I expect to happen while at the beach:
-get a tan
-maybe go in the water
-catch up on my magazine reading
-listen to some music


Things I don't expect to happen while at the beach:
-have my half-eaten lunch taken suddenly from my hand by a seagull and two if his wing-men. (No pun intended)


Merry Christmas to me. Thanks Seagulls.
