My Thanksgiving Break, In A Nutshell

I went to Houston to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. Here are a few highlights:

*On my flight from LA, when the man sitting in the aisle seat in my row remarked to me that it’s nice our middle seat is open, my response was YEAH-YUH! He looked at me weird and then didn't talk to me the rest of the flight.

*We ended up renting a few movies to watch while I was there and my dad was absolutely enchanted by the Redbox box.

*Trying to explain what the Tesseract in The Avengers is to my dad is hard. Seriously, you try explaining what the Tesseract is.

*We went to see Catching Fire on Thanksgiving morning, and so did about 10 other people. Two of whom were full grown men, sitting by themselves. No judgement! Good for them. Katniss can be a hero to all ages and genders.

*Thanksgiving buffet at Golden Corral is not as glamorous as it sounds. I know it doesn't sound glamorous, but it’s even less than what you’d think. BUT there’s a lot of food, turkey and ham and pizza and mac & cheese and fried fish and clam chowder. Not to mention, the 3 kinds of fountains - chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel. Did YOU have chocolate fountains at YOUR Thanksgiving? I didn't think so.

*Duck Dynasty is basically the exact same show as Keeping Up With the Kardashians in that they both feature rich families doing really unimportant things. Also, way too many product lines.

*My BFF who lives in Houston and I went to a restaurant that we went to last time I was in town and it was worse. Guess who’s getting an updated Yelp review with fewer stars?

*It was SO AWESOME to be able to use electronic devices during take-off and landing. Finally, amirite? Like my Kindle Fire being on was going to bring the whole plane down.
