Breaks been.. interesting. Not much has really been going on. Spending a lot of time with the family and whatnot.
My Christmas gift got stolen on my doorstep when UPS dropped it off.
It was a backpack for my camera, and it was the only thing I really wanted, and I didn't ask for much else because I knew my parents didn't have the money for an elaborate Christmas this year.
After two weeks of it being late we tracked the order, UPS had delivered it over a week ago. Later that day I was reading the paper only to find out that there was a guy driving around in my neighborhood stealing peoples gifts from their doorsteps.
Awesome.
It's been nice having time off, but I'm starting to feel like a bum. I've been staying in most of the time watching films from my netflix account. Next week I'm getting back to work though. Preproduction on a music video for the fireflies and some shorts for the school.
I also saw an old friend for the last time before he goes to Iraq for seven months. He's excited to go, he's never wanted anything so bad in his life. I didn't get it for a long time, but I kind of do. The idea of getting away from staten island, the idea of getting out of this mundane and repetitive state of apathy.
That's been my break, plus a lot of red wine. My mother got about 12 bottles for christmas that were going to go to waste.
