A Dickens of a Day

It's Charles Dickens Day, everyone! Time to pull out your favourite Dickens book and/or movie and read and/or watch it with friends and/or family. I just so happen to have A Christmas Carol on my phone, so I can read that wherever life takes me today. I also plan on watching A Muppets Christmas Carol because... well that is just a great movie. Be sure to really appreciate how inspired Dickens' books were, and how they have greatly affected generations of readers. If you have a child, maybe today is the day to introduce them to one of the most renowned authors in the world as if you shouldn't have already! These novels are filled to the brim with things that are referenced in every day conversations, and if you haven't read any or at least "school-read" them, then you are probably missing out on quite a few intelligent and expertly placed references. For those of you who aren't as big of a nerd as me, that's like not being "in" on a joke. The difference is: Dickens is not a joke. It's serious fun.

Back from Vacation

My family vacation to Florida was quite a fun time! We went to Disney World the first day, Universal Studios the second day, and we spent Christmas together at my dad's sister's (my aunt's) house. We played a game of picking and stealing presents (it has a name I just can't remember it at the moment), and I ended up with a starbucks mug that I stole from my dear mother. We went to the beach, played card games, went inside of a large christmas tree in a park, and told stories of what had been happening for the 8 years we hadn't gotten to see each other. All in all, a very fun vacation. I will be posting videos I recorded while I was over there to my fancy-schmancy YouTube account listed right here:

There is already FOUR new vacation videos up right NOW! Enjoy!

Christmas Trip Begins

Well I flew out with my family today into Florida to visit some relatives to go to Disney and enjoy Christmas with. We got here at the hotel at around noon, and I have been eating chocolate all day with either ginger ale, tea, or Dr. Pepper (which is alway a good diet for vacations). My room, to the untrained eye, would appear to be a closet until you open the door, and it reveals a full room, albeit oddly placed. I like it, though, and as the middle child, have come to expect to get such odd living arrangements, and thusly just claim them before they can even be assigned.

We just finished playing poker (using pretzels for chips), and I was the second one out, but not too sad about it, as we were all getting a little tired of playing. Anyway, everyone is winding down and either watching t.v. or heading to the pool. I have no suit for swimming in, and I don't really want to watch T.V. on a vacation. Feel free to head over to my youtube (username kylegoesplaces) and see a match of poker that my dad, brother, and I played. Until then, I will see you next week with all the details of the vacation in full.

Thanks for reading!
