Hey what do you know
Christmas is here and for some very odd reason the high festival of consumerism has not left me as bitter as it usually does. For that I think I must thank Peter Jackson. The whole town has been so involved with celebrating its most famous son that holiday hype has been seriously sidelined. So thanks! Hope we can do it again next year.
I also want to make a confession.
I have been sucked into the whole Survivor thing.
I have never watched a whole episode, lets face it the truly appalling tribal councils are the blood sport and best bit, so I tend to switch it on in time for the immunity challenge, and watch to the end.
I got into this pattern because during the first one that was when I'd get home from a Philosophy lecture and it was a good way to unwind.
I don't have that excuse anymore and I am ashamed to say I'm still watching.
There is just some thing addictive about seeing just how badly people will behave.
Speaking of which, time to go see my family.
