A calm before the travel storm

This blog is well overdue for an update...I am sure I will have more tales to tell once Christmas passes, but here is the lowdown...

Beth and I threw the first annual Ho Ho Ho Bash in cooperation with Melissa and Kelly. Despite some post party drama that I will not go into here, the party was a huge success. Oh yeah, did I mention that we forgot about half of the ingredients for svarene vino and Melissa did not bake the cookies she had initially promised? Of course, no one danced except for me, ha ha. How is it that people can actually stand still when 80s tunes and the Jackson Five are being played? I do not understand. I certainly have never been able to. I jump out of my seat every time.

If all goes according to plan, I will be traveling to Augsburg, Germany this coming Friday, where I will spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my German relatives. I am getting a little nervous as this will be my first major travel excurison outside of Prague, save for the Kutna Hora day trip that I took last month. The train trip is about 7 hours, and includes four major stops, which is kinda long considering the fact that it only takes about 3 hours to drive there. I guess the train waits at the Czech borderline and what not.

Mikki arrives in Prague on December 28. As of right now, I have no classes scheduled that day so hopefully I will be able to pick him up at the airport. He will be here until January 16. In the meantime, we will be traveling to Paris from January 6th through the 10th. I cannot, cannot wait.

The twelve days of Christmas -- revisited!

"The Twelve Days of Christmas," or "All Men are Jackasses During the Holidays and the Rest of the Year"

(written and performed by Beth M. and Curtis W.)

On the twelfth day of Christmas, this jackass gave to me...

...twelve stood-up dates,

...eleven ambigious e-mails,

...ten cold shoulders,

...nine mixed messages,

...eight used rubbers,

...seven missed calls,

...six toilets to puke in,

...five hostage CDs,

...four Polish vodkas,

...three warm beers,

...two battered egos,

...and one blank SMS back!

It's beginning to look a lot like...vanoce!
