I'm trying to figure out which X-mas was shittier. I vote for this yr. Sat night we went to bubba's aunt and uncle's place and they did their family thing. They decided to do a white elephant exchange which was pretty fun. All the gifts were useful.

Sunday we finally went and checked out the new Outdoor World not far from us in Garland. Pretty neat place, if there is ever one near you, check it out! They had a restaurant (Islamorada Fish Company) adjacent to the store that we decided to eat at later on in the evening (had to build up an appetite first). We sat at the bar since they had a 1,200 gal. salt water fish tank though they only had a handful of fish for the time being since the place is still brand new. The inside of the restaurant was cool, between the thatched ceiling, seashell lights, etc. The prices are pretty decent for the amount of food you get. I had the seasame encrusted salmon since I hadn't had salmon in awhile and damn was it good. They have good french fries too. That was pretty much our X-mas Eve dinner.

We also had a nice bit of much needed rain going on all of Sunday.

Monday was just another paid holiday. Treated it like any other boring day, did mostly housework while bubba vegged out on watching Court TV marathons and the Cowboys. His family did their own separate thing again this yr. Pretty sad that the only thing that makes my X-mas worth while are the gifts I had received from friends. We didn't do anything for each other since we really don't have/can't afford it right now. No biggie though, the trip to Chicago was good enough for me.

I guess I'm just so sick of the holidays in general. Unless there happens to be a shining moment in the coming yrs, I'm forever going to have a scrooge like attitude. Even mom has been feeling it as well. My older sis doesn't mind it too much just cause she's got two young kids to keep the spirit alive in her household....for now till they get older.

Tues. I had to go back to work but this week is a short work week for me since I'm taking my 3hrs on Thurs night that the company gave us for the holiday and I'm taking Friday off.

Since there probably won't be any new Bleach dub eps till Jan. I found a torrent for #16 that has yet to be shown. I've uploaded the eps to my flist so ppl can hear for themselves on why I'm so horrified by Renji's dub voice. This eps has him talking more than the little bit we got to hear at the end of #15. I swear to god it takes all I have not to throw something at my tv when I hear half the cast open their mouth. There is very few of the characters in the dub that is tolerable. Ishida sounds very dull and nerdy and Stoned!Urahara speaks a bit in this one too for those who haven't heard him yet. I cringe when I heard Rukia say Byakuya's name. I don't know if it was the way she said it or it all sounded garbled but it didn't sound right. I mean hell, it's bad enough they can't even say KON's name right. Where in the fuck are they getting the pronunciation CONE from? What little hope I had for this series went down the shiter pretty damn fast.

Bleach dub #16 "Encounter, Renji Abarai!"
