Vacation Staycation
Returned from Christmas vacation on last Thursday, but not going back to work until next Thursday. Since getting home, I've been getting back to cooking and exercising and wrapping up some chores.
Christmas vacation was fun and relaxing. The best part was getting to spend time with my niece, Emilia, who's much less of a newborn now. She's such a friendly baby. Not quite walking yet, but getting there any day now, she has the strength but not quite the balance and coordination.
I saw a few movies: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire during the break (good adaptation of the books, I thought; the theme of the previews seemed to be "now with more CGI", including this one), Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters on the plane there (actually pretty entertaining, makes me want to go back and watch The Lightning Thief), and Paranoia (the 2013 one) on the way back (not very good, but sure captures the cultural zeitgeist with regard to tech companies).
