I went to a movie and started making marmalade. (The tangerines have to soak in water overnight before they get cooked.)
DH is doing the laundry, but sadly I can't take credit for that.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What movie did you see, Jess?
I did Christmas shopping and got snitty with my mother at Target. That's productive, right?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
went to the cafe.
watched some TIVO.
went downtown to a friend's house . Ed is an artist and has collected somewhere in the neighborhood os a couple hundred nativity scenes. Including an avon set that had been chewed on by a child , a lego one, one very modern Bethelhem ( including soldier) and one that has Elephants and no camels. ( and I can't forget Jesus in the soap dish) He charges food donations and/or cash donations to a local food kitchen. Yesterday, durring the home tour he got lots of $$ and half a truckload of food.
and then we wandered up and down the street.
and I just watched more TIVO.

Hey, I can go to Wakefield/Reading/Lynnfield/rt.1 and hang out!
Just tell me when and where!
And, I brought ONE other Buffista with me.

The New World, which I liked a lot. Didn't love, mostly because of the wholly unnecessary voiceover -- the images were stunning and brilliant and wonderful, and telling the story just fine on their own. There was no need for Colin Farrell to have an inner monologue on top of it.

I'd be wicked glad to visit New England, Cindy, but it has not worked out yet.Someday, though, despite Dennis Lehane making Boston look like The Place To Be To Get Disemboweled, I still want to go. I have to see if Victor's been posting the man that came with the frame all this time!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've been fairly productive in that I just posted this...
1. "Merry Fucking Christmas (live)" - Denis Leary. A charming ditty by our favorite foul mouthed Mick.
2. "Me And Mrs. Claus" - Mike the Maintenance Man. Naughty Philly soul update for the holidays.
...at Buffistarawk for erika (and anybody else who wants them). Look for Xmas 3 (for erika).
Emmett and I got his xmas present for his mom. We also dug out all his Christmas Playmobils (from the Playmobil Advent Calendar which is in disarry). We also made sugar cookies. And when JZ gets back from Dickens Faire, we'll all troop out to the giant lighted tree in GG Park with cocoa and ginger men.
I need to point out to y'all that "clearing things off your TiVo" in no way qualifies as "being productive." It's the opposite of productive. Also, watching your DVDs? Not productive. Fun, yes. Indulgent, yes. Entirely justifiable? Probably. Just not something that warrants a check on your "to-do" list.

yarg. I need to remember that making chicken pot pies from scratch is a LOT more work than I think it is. I do not want to make more pie crust. But I have a huge bowl of filling left. I may try the shortcut a friend suggested, and get good-quality flour tortillas, coat them with butter, and line the wee pie tins with those, instead.
Do I feel up to putting on some powder, mascara, lipstick, and proper clothes, just so I can go down the street and watch the Christmas carolers from the local church? They're performing in the park that's a block down from us in about an hour.

Another good shortcut is to just use biscuit dough for the top crust. You can whip it up with Bisquick very quick, or even use poppinfresh style biscuits-in-a-can.

I vote Yes for Jilli All Made Up.
Also you should listen to that xmas parody I sent based on (faux) Tom Waits Meets (faux) Peter Murphy For The Christmas Misery Fest.

Good point. I just need to see if I can find organic versions of Bisquick. Or look at my biscuit recipe again.

This does not surprise me, but thank you.

Eeeee! I've been trying to track that down for years! I'll download it as soon as I'm back from the park.
