I'm recovering from my birthday with a bloody mary at the bar. In addition to my beautiful black iPod, my girlfriends, Linz znd Sarah, got me a silver necklace from Tiffanys. There may have been tears at the sight of the little blue box. They also tried to surprise me with FE.

What should I do?

Watch Toy Story 2?

::waves back at Consuela::

Emmett and I are back from playing tennis, playing catch, stopping at the French bakery for a Quiche Lorraine and a PERFECT almond croissaint. Now we're back at home watching the 18th consecutive hour of Zim. All Zim all the time.

Also I have discovered a brilliant new plan to vary my turkey sandwiches. Serve them on toast! Bow before Zim! the sandwich!

We're supposed to get the laundry together but despite my fervent efforts at telekinesis it refuses to assemble itself while I jam turkey sandwiches into my face.

If you figure it out, give me the heads-up, bunky.ETA: But I have had a turkey sandwich and a haircut so I figure as far as you're concerned, decent Sunday, right?

Vacuumed the house and came to work to move furniture and put up holiday decorations (unpaid, bah humbug). Not tons of fun so far. But I will be having turkey for dinner and Deadwood DVDs to watch, so the best is yet to come.

Yes! Another of the earworm song I couldn't identify bites the dust, as I just tracked down "The Groove Line" by Heat Wave. I think for years I'd been mis-hearing the last line of the chorus as "We put the groove out tonight," preventing me from actually finding the song with a lyrics search.

No sandwich should taste this delicious!

I need to forage for dinner, myself. I'm thinking I'ma order in tonight. Indian, perhaps. Mmm. Yes. Lamb Korma. And naan!

Mmmmm, naan. t homer

This cold is kicking my butt. I have mostly been asleep or hopped up on cold meds. (Sometimes both at once.) Noe I am trying to do laundry, because the pile is threatening to take over.

Hola! I just ate some popcorn, but I'm afraid that won't be enough dinner, which is ridiculous considering how much I've eaten in the last five days.

Happy Thanksgiving you crazy Americans with your extra holidays! C'mon, you can tell me, you guys just crammed it in before Christmas for an extra day off, right?

I've got to say, I think it's annoying that the two big Christian American family holidays are so close together. I just saw all those people!!

My mom always used to say that "in the stomach you can't feel that it doesn't look so pretty". I'm sure it's yummy.

This was a common theme of my weekend, although I like to say, "You're just going to chew it!"

(Except for what looks like Brussels Sprouts, ew.)

BRUSSELS SPROUTS YUM.

Hey, ita, have you seen this Jamaican magazine called First? There's a thing about it in Vanity Fair because all the tourists apparently love it, even though it isn't for them.

Happy Belated Birthday, Daisy Jane!!!!!

::takes issue with phrasing "Christian American family holiday"::

I'd never heard of it, Jesse, but I just googled it. I can't say it's something I see my parents reading, but now I want to ask them about it.

Okay, must take out garbage and maybe tidy a wee bit before company comes over.

::takes issue with phrasing "Christian American family holiday"::

Yeah, yeah. I was trying to hurry so I could actually get the post posted. What I mean to say is the one big US family holiday and the one big Christian family holiday. Neither of which needs to include blood relatives.
