Thanksgiving is/was today. And what a great day it has been...

I suppose I've got quite a lot to be thankful for. I've been provided with a great many opportunites that most other people never get, and for that, I am thankful.

I am provided with some wonderful friends and family, and for that I am thankful.

All in all, I'm actually quite well off in the grand scheme of things, and for that I am thankful.

Ok, I think that's enough for now.

I haven't written anything in a while, and so I've decided to finally. Today, the day before Thanksgiving, has been fairly boring. People are pouring into this house, and by tonight, 18 people will have arrived.

Regarding my prior post, the election is still not resolved, however I personally think that in the end, Bush is going to win, although I may not want this to happen.

Anyhow, yesterday, I was watching this movie, Being John Malkovich (sp?) and it was a pretty good movie. I'd have to say it's the strangest coherent movie I think I've ever seen (I say coherent because something like Monty Python's Meaning of Life, which I just finished watching (oh the joy of DVD on a laptop), is terribly weird, and by far the weirdest thing I've ever seen, but it has absolutely no coherence or sense to it at all.). Being John Malkovich was a great movie, however I continue to think that it was an awfully weird film.

I've also been giving some thought to the blog that I wrote a while ago (read it here) about my leg, and... I think that I'm probably going to try to go forward with surgery. I've decided this for a number of reasons, and I guess it just comes down to the fact that the possible loss is outweighed by the possible gain. I also have to consider that by doing nothing, I end up in a worse situation no matter what. So, that's what it comes down to.

Hey! Speaking of potentially life altering decisions all before the age of 16... it seems that there was at some point in the last year, some discussion of the possibility of my family moving to China, or Singapore, or some other asian country for a year. I actually think it would be a good experience for me. I've been living in Harvard all my life and I've never really gotten to experience life outside of it. The fact of the matter is, it's a very limited view of the world. I think it would be a very trying experience to suddenly temporarily sever all ties with my life here, and move elsewhere. I do worry though, if I were to move to China, would I just end up in some school with a bunch of other english speaking people, which would result in me once again being in a very limited situation. I don't know. I've put far less thought into this than I have my leg.

Finally for today, umm. Nevermind. I forgot what I was going to say. I guess it's back to playing with the settings and with layers in order to get this blog working, and in a new layout.
