I boycotted Thanksgiving this year. Well, technically I boycotted turkey and the whole social thing. I was still thankful and all that good stuff. I turned down an offer to spend the day with a good friend and a few of his friends. Instead I made it a day to pamper myself and focus on my art. I spent several hours processing photos from New Orleans, took a nap, hung out in the Castro, met a hottie model who's agreed to pose for me, did a self photo shoot, and watched Little Britain Abroad followed by Project Runway. All in all in was a very artsy and fun day.
And another thing about Thanksgiving: I've never been a huge fan of the traditional turkey dinner. For years I've been trying to convince friends and family to forgo that tradition and do something like a huge Thai feast for the day. Everyone has been extremely enthusiastic "as long as I get a little turkey, cuz it's just not Thanksgiving without turkey... oh and we have to have mashed potatoes... and maybe just a little cranberry sauce and stuffing..."
Right.
So basically we're going to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with a side of pad thai?
While I didn't cook a huge Thai feast for me, myself and I, I did go out for dinner and had myself a tasty Asian Pear and Gorgonzola Salad. It's not quite Thai, but I felt all wild and rebelious eating it. It was just a froo-froo California hybrid salad I know, but to me it was my "damn the man" to the whole Thanksgiving institution.
Oh. And... Happy Thanksgiving.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
Happy UN-turkey day, Bro.
I'm sure I ate more than my (and, your) fair share of turkey-bird at dinner. Regardless, you can, still, be thankful that you're still alive - like the celebration of the pilgrims after they were on the continent for a year, with about 50% mortality rate....
