Gift Parties and Weekend Plans

Last night Sandy stole back a white elephant gift that is something I have been thinking of getting...a Sony headphone for my old-school G4 iPod™. When you go to these white elephant gift exchanges I learned that it is of advantage when you partner up with someone, say your significant other, i.e. your girlfriend. I'll call this the 'couple's advantage' rule. (NOTE: we didn't come up with this scheme as someone at the party suggested it.)

In return I stole from her what she wanted a: photo wheelset. Hopefully she will use that for our photos. Hint hint.

Two gift exchanges/white elephant parties down, two more to go. Tonight I will not have the couple's advantage...but it's not required as it is a Secret Santa gift exchange, then on to the family during Christmas Eve. Sandy and myself will be lost among the throngs of shoppers looking for gifts for my nieces and nephews and the siblings at the mall tomorrow. To those last minute shoppers good luck and God be with you. haha.

Narnia vs. King Kong

I willl be seeing Narnia this weekend with Sandy although King Kong looks pretty good, too. In the end good old-fashioned C.S. Lewis storytelling along with what I heard are lots of Christian themed ideas won us over. That plus the enthusiastic endorsement by Helen (wife of our church's senior pastor). BTW did anyone see the BBC version with the human scaled Beaver family. They looked pretty goofy. I hope the special FX will be much better in the film.
