Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I really wish when they run out of something you've ordered they would bring a substitute and give you the option.

Giant will do this, if you check off the right feature in your profile. Well, they won't bring the substitute and give you the option, but they'll just include the substitute in your order.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sure there was consent, but I think it must have been a last-minute change, unless they used old footage to keep her name out of the credits?

Either way, I'm standing by my she was never on set that day assertion. It just looked too weird.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Either way, it'd be nice it Peapod did that. It's really annoying. No Giant around here.

Freshdirect doesn't substitute either, they just leave shit out. It's annoying as hell.

I thought Peapod and Giant were the same company. Or, anyway, the place I order from is "Peapod by Giant" or something like that. The option is buried way under some menus, and for a lot of things, you have to manually specify what the substitute should be, but it's there. (I discovered this when I realized that they only ever actually had one brand of organic milk, but listed two, and I finally just put each one as the substitute for the other, since their software didn't automatically do it.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Letters to Walken

As Artist-in-Residence at Cornell's arts dorm, I'm expected to come up with stimulating art-related programs for the students here to participate in. "Letters to Walken" allowed them the chance to write their yearly Christmas letter to Christopher Walken.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

That is hilarious! "I'm Chinese" has to be my favorite. Or perhaps "An acquaintance?" Oh, everywhere Christopher Walken goes, goodness follows.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have discovered that I will be short on cards this year. I am not sure how this happened. I need a better holiday card system. The good news is that all the cards I have will get done tonight and mailed tomorrow.

If I only had a brain...

I have a head cold, so my family went to the "Pickle Family Circus" without me. They were surrounded by tiny San Francisco toddlers, lured by the "Circus".

One of the acts was a lady in fetish gear (quasi-Nazi + hot pants) skipping a rope. My daughter was highly amused. I said San Francisco toddlers needed to get sophisticated early.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have done nothing remotely Christmassy yet this year.

Not because of Grinchdom, just a lack of capacity.

I will eat Christmas cake, listen to "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and make donations to charity.

Soon.
