Christmas Party

How was your office Christmas party? Mine was 15 days before Christmas, but besides that it was actually pretty nice. I got to rent a tux and such. I haven't dressed up like this really since my junior year of high school which was to my surprise - 7 years ago. I'm well on my way to middle age. Elizabeth and I took loads of pictures of ourselves all dressed up but unfortunately none of them came out the way we wanted them to. We have decided that neither of us is particularly photogenic.

Nevertheless (in case you couldn't tell) this is me in my tuxedo.
Dressed up - yes.
Stunning - no.



The evening was pretty enjoyable. There was an awards ceremony sprinkled amidst the eating. This was pretty smart. They'd hand out some awards and then give you another course of your meal. I felt slightly like a pet being trained not to pee on the carpet (or something). The awards ceremony was pretty tolerable except for the price-is-right announcer and the cheesy "you've won a brand new dinette set" music.

After the dinner Kevin Pollack did a stand up act. In case you didn't know, he was the short guy from The Usual Suspects. This is quite possibly the first and last star I'll ever see. When they were introducing him, they welcomed the star of the Usual Suspects -- KEVIN -- (I totally though SPACY!!) but this one was good too.

All in all, a good experience.
