Not surprisingly, my lower back hurts today. It's not really noticeable unless I'm twisting or bending so that is nice but every now and then it feels like the early stages of a kidney stone, which I'm not a fan of.

Today I watched YouTube videos and the Yogscast livestream with Lewis and Turps, which was one of my favorite streams so far. Turps is hilarious and I need to look into the podcast he does. I also started crocheting a hat, which I nearly finished by working on it off and on throughout the day. Years ago when I first started to crochet I made a bunch of hats but had forgotten the pattern I used. The one I tried out for this hat feels very similar to the one I used to use. And it seems to be working out. I just wish I had gone with a bigger stitch than the single crochet because I would have finished it a lot sooner.

I also started watching Christmas stuff. I haven't gotten around to that yet this year. I started with Fred Claus which I recorded the other day. Instant classic. Tonight I watched Power Rangers: Super Samurai – Stuck on Christmas. Wow. I have never seen this version of the show but it is just as cheesy as I remember the old show being when I was a kid. It was pretty awful but I watched all twenty-three minutes of it. I ended the night with Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger because it starred David Tennant. Who played twin brothers. I have never seen the first Nativity but now I am intrigued. The second one was interesting. The target audience was obviously little kids because it is about a group of school kids trying to get to a Christmas song competition, and there is a lot of juvenile humor. But I actually liked it. Maybe a new Christmas tradition.

Tomorrow I want to watch The Polar Express because I don't think I have seen it since I previewed it almost ten years ago, and working with the book in second grade the past week got me interested again. So far I haven't watched any of my regular Christmas movies (Elf, Surviving Christmas, and Love Actually). Maybe I'll look into those tomorrow as well. Or find more random ones on Netflix.
