8 things

Oooh, I've been tagged. I've never been tagged before. Class is ultra-boring tonight, so it's the perfect way to kill a little time.


8 TV shows I enjoy watching when I have time and would like to chill:

1. 24
2. The Office
3. Star Trek
4. Rome
5. The Sopranos
6. Mythbusters
7. Boy Meets Grill
8. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

8 Things that happened yesterday:

1. My business ethics course ended.
2. I got an "A" on my term paper.
3. I spoke with a friend in Bulgaria.
4. I had an uncomfortable conference call for work.
5. I played "Burnout" on my PSP before class.
6. I ate the work cafeteria's phony Chinese food for lunch.
7. I ate rice again for dinner.
8. I finished moving files between my three external hard drives. Major pain.

8 Things I am looking forward to:

1. Graduating!
2. Christmas with my parents in LA.
3. Christmas lights.
4. Christmas music. Well, I'm already listening to it, but I'm looking forward to more.
5. Thanksgiving with my brother and sister that live in the Midwest. My parents are also coming, which is great.

  2. Why do you like Christmas music if you don't believe in God? :)

  3. You're such a troublemaker.

    My favorite Christmas songs are:

    Silver Bells
    The Christmas Song
    White Christmas
    Greensleeves/What Child is This?

    Notice they're all fairly secular in nature. That doesn't mean I don't listen to more religious Christmas music (I do have some MOTAB, for example), though. In any case, I thought a lot about whether or not to celebrate Christmas when I...um..."re-evaluated" my beliefs, and decided it made no sense to discard my favorite holiday simply because I was no longer a believer. After all, the roots of the Christmas celebration (date, trees, etc.) aren't Christian in nature anyway.

    To me, Christmas is about peace, love, friendship, giving and lots of other good things--all positive things. You don't have to be Christian to appreciate the positivity of the season. Christmas, for me, is also about good memories--family, lights, special gifts, dreams that came true, etc. Christmas music is often a walk down memory lane.
