It is entirely too late, considering I have to work in the morning, but I figured now was as good a time as any to write my 300th blog post, it's not like I've ever said anything actually meaningful here so why start now?
I saw Ninja Assassin ... that's all I'm going to say about that.
I am pretty excited for Trans Siberian Orchestra on the 29th, Ben Mary Claire Kate and I will all be going and it shall be a wonderfest. I watched a video of them on tour last year, in which they broke out into Layla part way through Sarajevo. I ... I can't stress enough how incredibly awesome that is. Just imagine Bruce Campbell on his knees wailing on a guitar that is constantly exploding into candy and also the Ninja Turtles are his band, that's how awesome this would be to see in real life.
Jay got me all 3 Starship Troopers movies for christmas, the first and third are awesome, the second ... was definitely a movie, I think? It was pretty bad. Did you know the first one won an Oscar? I mean, for special effects, but still.
I want to download all of Cheers, I think this is a good idea. I think this is a fantastic idea.
Oh god, I just thought about brownies. I had a bad experience with a type of brownie last week that has resulted in my getting a sort of a queasy feeling when thinking about them. *shudder*
So I guess it's almost Christmas again. Cool, I guess. I'm not going to Clinton at all this year because, well, if I was going to put myself in a place full of bad memories on purpose then Shelburne is closer. Also there's the whole thing about me not having a bed in Clinton, that weighed heavily on my decision. It sucks that I'm not going to see Sam's parents or go to the Annual gaming extravaganza, I will miss that, but there's not enough for me out there this year. Most of my friends will be here, and we'll be having New Years goings on in Toronto instead of Mary's place in Clinton for once, so that's good. Also Mary and Ben are going to be here as of the 27th anyway, so that we can go to TSO on the 29th. Sam can only be there until the 26th, and Jay and Rory aren't going to spend a lot of time at their respective homes I'd imagine. It'll be cool.
It's gonna be sort of weird, though. Waking up here on Christmas Day and being the only person in the house. As much as I've spent Christmas apart from my family over the years, I don't think I've ever woken up alone in a house on Christmas morning. That's gonna be a new one.
So far so good with Christmas though. I am still waiting for the old Christmas curse to come by and work it's magic on me before school starts again. Kill someone or something like that. I guess it usually either takes something away from me or gives me something I don't deserve. But I don't know, I've got a good feeling this year. I must have contracted some optimism somewhere, it's nice, I don't mind it. I think I could get used to not always expecting the worst — he says before a grand piano drops out of the sky onto his head.
(I missed a typography class where we talked about dashes, and I'm not entirely sure that I used that em dash in the proper way in that sentence, but I just wanted to use it because I figured out how to type the glyph on a mac)

Em dashes are a bright spot in a cruel world; use them always. Your usage is fine, but surrounding it with spaces is unusual. I'd also add a comma for the sake of improving flow, but that's a much more subjective point of contention:

In any case, Merry Christmas. I'm a little surprised that we aren't doing anything.
Brim over I to but I about the brief should prepare more info then it has.
