it must be the madness

Okay, here’s my real Christmas post.

Let’s start off with gifts, shall we? I got:

• Adobe Photoshop Elements
• Photoshop Elements book by Scott Kelby (it rocks!)
• La Vie Boheme Sweatshirt
• “God Uses a Mac” T-shirt
• “If you need something, don’t heistate to ask someone else” T
• Blue Old Navy fleece
• Rent DVD
• Lost Season 2 DVD
• $45 in iTunes Music Store gift cards
• “Wacky Websites” Page-A-Day Calendar
• “Without You”, Anthony Rapp’s Memoir
• Subscription to Wired magazine!
• TICKETS TO WICKED IN FEBRUARY!

There’s probably more, but that’s all I can remember as of now.

Christmas Day was pretty fun. We opened presents at 8, and until 1 in the afternoon I fooled around with Photoshop and the book. I didn’t really make anything special; I was still learning.

Then, we went to my aunt’s house for Christmas dinner. That was pretty fun. I saw my three cousins again. They are crazy, lol, but I still love them. She gave my $45 in iTMS gift cards in exchange for teaching her how to use her new iPod/iTunes. That was a good trade-off.

Over the past few days, I’ve mainly been fooling around with Photoshop and working on a web design project (see below), which is almost finished. It looks very good and I’m proud of it!

My little iTMS binge has introduced my to a new band; Hellogoodbye. They have that “Here (In Your Arms)” song that’s getting airplay. I really liked it, so I bought a few of their remixes and other songs. I also bought a song from Plain White T’s (”Hate [I Really Don't Like You]“) and a couple of Reba songs (yes, maybe I am getting into country music. Shoot me!). I love music.

I hope everybody had an awesome holiday…I don’t want break to end. I have to start working on my Grease audition, which is next week. This is going to be a stressful few days until [next] Friday, when the cast list is posted. Wish me luck!
