I'm not saying that Christmas could be over and I wouldn't be bummed out, but Santa is going to have a very difficult time topping the gift I received today. Today I went to the Mexican grocery by my house because they're now cooking super legit street meat. The grease means authenticity. I might eat there again tomorrow...and every day...until my heart explodes.

In other news, my cats just sleep all day.

So today is supposed to be the start of my two week mental health vacation/holiday break. It kind of still is, but I had to bring the little glowing box pictured above home with me so I can work when I'm not at work. That little box contains the better part of my career, and would probably ruin my life if I ever accidentally dropped it. It actually makes me really anxious having it my possession and being responsible for it. It is My Precious.

It's kind of funny that Nicole spent the day making Christmas cookies with her grandmother and I spent the day hanging out with this rowdy dog doing "hoodrat stuff with my friends."* And we both had the respective best days possible.

I've posted before about my obsession with chicken and waffles. Moreover, the majority of posts on this blog somehow reference me eating too much grilled cheese. When I found out that these two things were merging into something totally ridiculous, I pretty much scheduled my month around being there for it. This is a chicken and waffle grilled cheese sandwich with maple syrup and habanero hot sauce. I eat like a fat kid.

I risked getting yelled at by mall security for today's main picture because it's festive and seasonal. Here's something kind of festive, but completely unseasonal.

Amending yesterday's statement regarding sobriety and drive-thrus, drive-ins are totally different. I'm always exuberantly happy to eat at Swensons no matter what the circumstances are. Besides, I believe being intoxicated around children while shopping for Christmas presents at Toys-R-Us is generally looked down upon in our society.

My coworkers do cool stuff. Like make movies and have film screenings in fancy theaters. That picture doesn't show it, but they pretty much filled the entire place and showed a really good film. This lame blog is pretty much all I have to show for myself.

After the after party, I was reminded that there is a direct, inverse relationship between my sobriety and my level of excitement regarding fast food drive-thrus. Can you say "McDonald's Manager Mustache Man" three times fast? I really shouldn't make fun of him though, because he gave us this wonderful holiday confection. Thank you, McDonald's Manager Mustache Man for your seasonal gift of deep fried joy.

Do you remember this picture of Mushroom from 10-10-11? We're upping the ante a little bit.

...that's all.

I'm inexplicably terrified of having to set the security system at work. I feel like I'm arming explosives in a movie and have to run away before the building explodes.

With all this holiday partying, let's not forget the real reason for the season...Jesus is running for political office.

After ritualistic weekend breakfast, we went Christmas shopping, but I can't post any pictures of that because then nothing would be a surprise. Instead, you get to see yet another reason why Nicole an I are the biggest nerds you know. Yeah, we covered our ceiling with glow-in-the-dark stars and a moon light with remote controlled phases. Falling asleep looking at this every night may or may not compete with kitten tea party.

Unlike the hot chocolate holiday party from yesterday, tonight's slightly different holiday party focused on some less "cozy" beverages. My goal for the evening was to actually not drink at all and just observe/document the chaos. Generally, nights at this bar, especially when my friend Tony plays DJ, end up a little wild. I like taking pictures with the flash on in these situations. It's like a Where's Waldo game when you can actually see everything that's going on. I'm honestly not quite sure what's going on here, but it happened pretty much on top of us for the entire party. How could anything with drunk Santa and this guy crowd surfing not be a party?

I orchestrated an office holiday party with hot chocolate and marshmallows, and it's all entirely because of the strange paper toy spilling his eggnog pictured above.

Have you ever seen a truck full of corrosive poison? What would you even do with that?

That's nine (9) full pages of hand drawn storyboard over two days. My favorite pencils are stumps and my eyeballs are about to fall out.
