Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really really really need to start christmas shopping. I really really really don't want to. No magic in my heart.
I did that today! Of course I only bought presents for people I wanted to, and absolutely none for the people I need to buy presents for (ie family).
I'm just in a curmudgeonly mood when it comes to christmas. I think brought on partly by knowing it is going to be a stuff heavy one courtesy of the in laws. It makes it feel perfunctory, not fun. I need to get over it. And get some ideas.
Best Thai food I've had is Amarind, in Chicago (across the street from Oak Park)--the chef there had trained at Arun's downtown (highest rated Thai restaurant in the country) for nine years, and now cooks meals that cost under $10 per plate, instead of $80. Best mung bean custard I've ever had!

Me too, sarameg, except for the stuff heavy part. That's why I spent today buying things for people I wanted to give presents, rather than people I have to exchange gifts with. It made me feel much better.
I think I may have to do that. I just wish I was crafty, but sadly, I'm not. I just have to come up with a good concept. One year, I just got everyone unique kaleidescopes, and enclosed a letter with each. That was fun.
Hec, dude! Book. Is. A. Hit! No less than 5 people hve told me "I must have this!" Those weren't even the people I was pimping to.

So tonight is turning into a very nice catch up on tv night. 2 Alias' down. I think VMs are next.
I have lately been working with graphic artists. There is something about this experience that has made me doubt my sanity, or the sanity of graphic artists, or the existence of sanity altogether.
GUS!
