What are you doing this Thanksgiving?

I'm going to be watching a lot of Gossip Girl on Netflix.

"I'm Chuck Bass. And I'm wishing you a scandalous Thanksgiving."

Yeah.

It's a problem.

But I'm also going to do some more worthwhile things.

. Write a paper on Borges

. Read  a few capitulos of Don Quijote

. Start moving out of my apartment

. Try out this Yam Frosting recipe from the Carolina Chocolate Drops

. Eat some food

. Learn how to play "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire on the piano

. Sync my iPod

. NOT go shopping on Black Friday

. Go on my Avenues run

. Rock and roll all night and party everyday

. Get rid of all my belongings. Seriously. I need to de-clutter bigtime. Virtual garage sale? Maybe.

. Go to a birthday party

. Watch the Jonsi Go Live dvd
. Drink some mate

. Start cutting up old sweatshirts to make a quilt

. Play some kickball

. Put up Christmas decorations

. Visit the Timpanogas temple for the first time

. FINALLY go to the dollar theater to see Planet of the Apes*

. Oh yeah. And see family and eat food and stuff.

Man. I'm going to be busy! Maybe I won't have time for Gossip Girl anyway.

*You probably thought I was going to go see "The Help," didn't you. I do want to see that too. I'll get to it eventually. Do you want to know my opinion about that book? Ironically, there is a character in the story called "Gretchen". She has a short conversation with Skeeter; she has only one page in the whole novel. Anyway, we share the same name, and the same point of view. Check it out.
