Thanksgiving

[catch22girl]

Today was long. Currently writing from my uncle's computer. I'm looking over the river from 34 floors up, it's really beautiful. Just lots of lights and traffic, lol. Just got back from dinner at La Caravelle - amazing food. AMAZING. Really great wine, great conversation, it was a really nice Thanksgiving. Only downside was no mashed potatoes, but the rest of it was so so good. I had this apple tart and yes...so good. So so good. It was the first Thanksgiving that I didn't eat at someone's home, but it's nice to not have to worry about cleaning up - lol.

Watching the beginning of the Joe Schmo Show...so evil. I'm enjoying it so far, LOL. I'm convinced this is what REALLY happens in reality tv.

Oh, so this morning, woke up at 5 am to get to the parade. Got picked up, came into the city. We got pretty good seats - and I talked with someone who actually is going to my former school. Then a woman from Australia who had never seen the parade before but she was really cool. I learned some things I didn't know at all, which is always good.

Saw the American Idol people -- thought of mosinging1986 when I saw Clay Aiken. Funniest thing? The float he was on was this like candy store place and there was this conveyer belt. Well, these "workers" were moving the candy from the front to the back...and then got messed up...and they started to have too many. It was hysterical watching how these people were trying to get the conveyer back to working order...and they were just stacking these fake candies and then throwing them...it was quite amusing. SO funny. I can't explain the humor actually - lol.

Oh and Ruben's bodyguard or whoever was on the float with him? lol - nice and social - really. The other "social" people, the drivers of the GMC trucks! Dude, their expressions...it's like they were protecting the President or something. Also found out that when Bush visited England they shut down mobile towers for about five miles around him...niiiiiice.

So, yes, today was good :) Tomorrow I enter study/paper hell, which I must do, but I'm too lazy to do - bad bad bad rachel.

Oh,I'm so glad you mentioned about Clay! I had passed by the radio and caught something about Clay and a parade, but I didn't catch *where*. I thought maybe it was at *our* parade here! Can you imagine? My boy being right near me and not even calling? I would've been heartbroken.

Good luck on the school stuff tomorrow. Ack.
