No maps for these territories

My side hurts from laughing so much; my cousin has grown up into a spitting image of Daniel Radcliffe; I turn out to be more lucky than ten of my relatives at dice; my dad looks more confused than ever when I try to explain his new computer to him; my inflatable sumo wrestler secret santa present was a big hit; and someone gave me a Batgirl poster for Christmas.

I’ve missed my family.

And now, my grandmother’s house plus wireless internet: a++. The 21st century has come to the boondocks; it’s a small and pleasant miracle.

happy holidays.
