Tim Allen was maybe in it but I think it might be a different one
This Christmas, I'm going to watch my favorite Christmas movie. It's about a person who gets caught up in the commercialism and the busyness of Christmas, some things happen to this person, then this person realizes the true meaning of Christmas, and then saves Christmas at the last minute. I can't remember the title, but I'm sure the person at the video place will know which one it is.

Rock Around the Clock
.
Oh how I hate my alarm clock. I was up till 2am at work last night. I did manage to watch four episodes of "24" yesterday afternoon, though. I had my radio alarm clock set for 7:30am. So it went off this morning, and I decided that I desperately needed another hour of solid sleep without hitting snooze six times.
So I was trying to reset the time on the clock, but I held down the wrong button. I thought it was the button to hold down to reset the alarm time. It was the button that you set to make the radio play for an hour or more longer and then automatically shut off, like you would use if you wanted the radio to play you to sleep. There's no going back, after hitting that button just once. You have to hold down that button and then hit the minute button sixty times or more to get the minutes down to 0:01 so it will shut off the radio and stop the awful Christmas music. Otherwise, the only option is to unplug the clock or turn the volume way down.
I chose to turn the volume way down, thereby sleeping too long and getting to work later than I needed to be. Luckily for me, I'm not actually really employed.
This is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
Worst Post Ever.

I am lame.
Why haven't I updated my blog?
Excuse #1: I've been so busy with work lately.
Why it's not true: While I do occasionally get busy with work for short periods of time, I do not have a real job. I watched 8 episodes of "24" in a row the other day.
Excuse #2: It's the holidays, and this is just a really busy time of year.
Why it's not true: I ate Thanksgiving dinner by myself at Wafflehouse. (Don't cry for me, this was on purpose.)
Excuse #3: I am not online very much these days except to check email occasionally.
Why it's not true: Internet = breathing.
Excuse #4: Nothing else funny has happened to me to write about.
Why it's not true: Funny stuff is constantly happening to me. TV producers should come spend some time with me and my friends, now there's a sitcom.
Excuse #5: I am very lazy and never finish anything I start.
