I looked fab, pictures later.

We survived the office christmas shindig. It was fun. Same people, same food, same conversation. Nothing was terribly surprising but it was pleasant. I ate my weight in chocolate mousse had a number of cocktails then later on while terribly drunk Mr. Jenner and I watched old Popeye cartoons in our hotel room.

Today we went to a friends annual Christmas brunch. We ate our weight in food, played with a baby (the best cheap entertainment out there) and talked a lot.
Now we are having tea.
Yay tea.


Oh yeah...how about that Saddam being captured. Something else...

I secretly think they knew where he was for sometime and decided to catch him around Christmas to make Bush look good and to get some good ratings.

I know...crazy thought, but considering some of the things our government and particularly the republican party has done over time I wouldn't be terribly surprised if that is the truth.


Mmmmm tea!

woah...

Joseph Campbell just blows my mind sometimes.

Sunday evening with Gennie and Andrew

Andrew and I have the kind of arguments my Grandparents used to have. Their arguments went like this:

Grandma: Ketchikan is on the mainland.
Grandpa:No...If I remember correctly Ketchikan is an island.
Grandma: What do you mean? Trust me my friend Mercedes went with a sailor who was from Ketchikan and I distinctly remember it being on the mainland.
Grandpa: well...I thought-
Grandma:nope...you are wrong.

Only in this case. I am right about something.
Andrew says the week begins with Monday I told him he was wrong. We have been arguing about this most of the evening and we have said something rather..."cruel" things to eachother. He said something about "where I am from the week begins with Monday" and I said something along the lines of "yeah well where you are from people eat parts of the cow that you really shouldn't eat."
Yeah even I admit it was below the belt.
He said that I was crazy for thinking the week began with Sunday.

The thing is we do follow the Gregorian Calendar set down in the middle ages and I did a little research to prove I was right.

The Bible clearly makes Saturday (the Sabbath) the last day of the week. Therefore it is common Jewish and Christian practice to regard Sunday as the first day of the week (as is also evident from the Portuguese names for the week days mentioned in section 6.2). However, the fact that, for example, Russian uses the name ``second'' for Tuesday, indicates that some nations regard Monday as the first day.

Okay so Mr. Jenner is slightly right too because I looked a bit further

In international standard ISO-8601 the International Organization for Standardization has decreed that Monday shall be the first day of the week.

same source as above

I said something to Andrew about Godless heathens think the beginning of the week is Monday.

So I think our problem is slightly solved, but still I would like to hear other people's opinion.
