Every new year, usually the first day where we are home but the kid goes to stay overnight with grandma, I set aside the day to watch the entire collection of Alien movies. I've been doing this for over 20 years now. I do this because I could never get through the first Alien movie, it was too gory for me. I was in my late 20s when I was finally able to sit through the whole movie, and I watched it on TV on New Years Eve. It was almost a rite of passage for me.

I don't just watch the original Alien movies with Sigourney Weaver, I watch them all, even the spin-offs. Except there's one that I watched this time around that I thought sucked so bad I won't watch it again... I rented it from Amazon Prime and I am SOOO glad I didn't buy it. I don't even remember the title.



Neither of them are quite done yet. I still need to add my embroidery details and he still has to finish his. But I'm sure they'll be done and ready to cuddle come the next new year, when I do this all over again!
