Well, Thanksgiving dinner was a gathering of four Americans and three Bulgarians. The Americans did the cooking and we made porkchops, applesauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, and apple pie. It was a great meal. To simulate watching TV in America, we watched Die Hard on DVD, guessing that USA would probably be having one of their "Action Thanksgving" weekends. Unfortunately, we were left without any kind of football to watch, but losses had to be felt somewhere.
The cat, Yuli, had some problems with the sudden massive influx of people into an apartment that is usually pretty quiet. She started out checking everybody who came in, then started getting frisky and nibbly to the point where Jody thought she needed to go into the bedroom for a while. While she was in there, she impressed everyone (myself included) by jumping up, pulling down on the door handle, and walking back into the living room with all of us. Later on, she still stayed in the living room, watching people, but she did it from her hding places around the room and started to freak out whenever somebody got near her. The next day, she was back to her normal self in a more quiet apartment.
Summary: Good time had by all, minus the cat, maybe, but otherwise another successful Thanksgiving.
On the administrative front, I've decided to stop the comments section. It's just a bit too high maintenance for me when I only have an hour or two to spend at the internet club every day (I can't get cable internet at my apartment and I don't really want dial-up. Plus going to the club gets me out and about). So if you have anything to say, go ahead and send an e-mail and we can chat that way. If it's particularly important, I'll toss it up on the site.
So that's that. Should be more to come tomorrow. Pictures probably, too.
