Holiday November Cheer

I decided to type on my Linux computer today. You know when you get a dash of inspiration to do something- but cannot figure why. My guess is I needed to write. And I have been writing by hand lately. I haven't typed something since August. I try and journal with a ball point pen everyday though. I needed to do something creative. Writing it is-- creative writing. I should expand on where I am doing this too. Because this is a treat. Usually I express myself in private at the kitchen table or at my desk. But this time I changed scenery at 'Starbucks.' Now I'm not a Starbucks snob. You know those ones that have to have a moca-chino or drip coffee. They need it. Some people have there crack and others have there Starbucks. This fall season it gets festive here too, with the 'holiday drinks,' and red cups. I'm actually listening to Christmas music right now.

Here at "Starbucks" listening to the 'Home Alone” score. It's brand new. It opened last month and moved from down the street. This one has a drive-thru. And I will never get my coffee to go like that. I'm not in that kind-of rush. When I buy coffee I do it because I want to soak up the atmosphere. If I wanted it 'to-go' I'd make it at home and put it in a to-go-mug. At the moment there's people on there laptops like me. Some guys checking his charts- I can see. And I'm close to the bathroom so I can hear every time someone walks in and out. The door squeaks. Thank goddess I brought a sweater too, it feels like I'm under an a/c vent- burr. It's nice because I got a hot drink. I know the sugary-xmas drinks here are good-- anything with sugar is delicious. But they are calorific. One small cup 200cal. That's too much for a beverage. So I always get a coffee.

I ordered a half-calf, but they didn't have decaf on drip- so she suggested something else. Taste like water down coffee. Since it's the afternoon I shouldn't be having full on Starbucks coffee or any coffee. So I get the half. The coffee here is strong. I could probably write a short ebook in an hour if I was on a Starbucks coffee-buzz. I'm listening to 'Home Alone 2' on YouTube. It's magical and nostalgic. I saw the movie last week too. Those 90's holidays movies get me every time. But more so this time of year. Happiness happens to me when I create cheer like this and writing about it makes it real. My childhood lives on. I'm cinematic like that. I enjoy scores that bring me back. I know I should be in the moment and I am when I'm writing. But you see I love to be time warped. I miss my mom and family. And being a kid. Listening to a score or watching a movie is magical for me.

All this holiday cheer is making me want some eggnog. I also would love to visit New York this time of year and listening to 'Home Alone 2' is all about New York in Christmas. How the fuck did they know my childhood obsession with that city. I was intrigued with N.Y. My dad took me there twenty years ago in the fall. I would love to go in the winter someday. It looks fantastic. The airfares around $400. I could manage and maybe I will. But I think I should take Ashley to Disneyland instead. Disneyland during the holidays has a reputation-- as it should it's $100 a pop. That's the golden ticket. It's not about the money though. The rumors are that the place is the brightest and most lit up place in the country. That's essentially what you're paying for. The energy bill. You'd think they'd go solar. Edison wouldn't like that very much.

Any ways I should wrap this up since the score is ending. I came here to write about the pumpkin pie I had last night and ended up going in a different place. Well I was going to talk about pumpkin pie and it's that time of year. So I suppose I did that. I just wanted to share some holiday cheer. The fall season is a special time. Enjoy!
