Fay, I saw a Kock icon (which I will always associate with you) in fandom_wank (they were wanking scans_daily, which cracked me up. I've never posted in a wank before) and thought even more of you.

I got no pony. I did get a silver/onyx bracelet, a marcasite necklace, and a remarkably perceptive conversation about slash.

Merry Christmas/Appropriate Season Remark to y'all!

We celebrated last night by watching Phantom of the Paradise, which was much appreciated. My daughter: "Now there is totally no point in seeing the Phantom musical!"

I made it to NJ in one piece, traffic was pretty light. Saw several hawks in trees, and buzzards on the wing.

HI THEO!!!!

Just realized that I'm missing presents from both parents, and that the sucky presents (okay, not sucky, just... weird) are actually all from my brother. Christmas is going to stretch for a few more days, it looks like.

HI NOISEDESIGN!!!1!

Ooh, wait, let me get the volume control on my laptop set. I used it again as the world's largest mp3 player with a cassette adaptor for the car stereo.

Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas, Happy belated Solstice, and Seasons Greetings. Pick your favorite wish for the day, and have a wonderful one. It's sunny here for the first time in weeks, if not months. I'm taking it a sign. I'm not sure of what, but I think it's a good one.

HAPPY DAY WITH THE THING, EVERYBODY!

Also, while I was at the cafe around the corner grabbing some breakfast, they were playing some xmas music. One of the ones they played was the "Most Wonderful Season of All," and I have a question that's been haunting me for most of my life....

Why, in the name of all that's holy, would there be "scary ghost stories," at Christmas? WTF kind of effed up Christmas did these people celebrate???

Hey Sean!

What time is the show tonight? 8 PM? I think I might swing by after it. I'm heading back up from San Diego this afternoon.
