The Day Before Thanksgiving

I was originally going to post about a study that came out recently claiming the "Internet could run out of capacity in two years", then thought about ranting on about how the recently released first two seasons of Sesame Street DVDs are labeled adult-only...I even thought about writing up a review for another disappointing movie TLM and I saw this week called "In the Land of Women". Then the magnitude of today happened and I realized:

I hate the day before Thanksgiving.

I'm not sure if it's a consequence of getting older, and it certainly has nothing to do with what the holiday is supposed to represent. It's everything else about it that makes me crazy. The people in the stores, the pressure to plan out tomorrow making sure to be as inclusive of everyone as you can, and of course then there's the actual family members. As far as I can tell, any plans you make with them prior to the day before Thanksgiving should always be disregarded; they always seem to change at the last minute.

Ah, how I miss the days of my childhood, never having to worry about where or when I had to be somewhere for a family event.

Damn adulthood...
