Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Heh. Perkins is going to have Holly Jolly Hiccoughing Giggling Burping Weave Around the Room and Staggering Christmas, is what.

It's been a long time since I bought tequila, like, thirty-plus years. So it was eye-opening to look at what was out there. All I remember from the old days were the then common-or-garden (Jose Cuervo) and the then high-end (Comemorative Gold).

There are eighteen zillion varieties of tequila available in the 21st century. I was very surprised. Hoping the one I got (Tres Generaciones, I think it is) is nummy.

I was hoping someone would say that....

Want to hear Mlle. Perkins' opinion of the Patron tequila coffee liqueur. I don't drink anything except dry bubbly, but it sounds good, somehow. Coffee tequila: gets you snockered and sobers you up at the same time?

One very cool thing was, I didn't have to mail it. I got to hand it over the dinner table last night. Saves a lot of work, having the local giftee.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Whee, my gift arrived today! Thank you, Nicole! I now have three tantalizing varieties of rooibos tea, plus a jar of equally tantalizing body butter, and an awesome magnet that says "Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History". It's perfect! Thank you so much.

Happy solstice, everyone!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You done good.

Oh my yes.

I may not get to try the coffee Liqueur until NYE, but hopefully J and I can give you our opinions soon after. I also want to try the lemon cream liqueur soon, though probably not at the same time as the coffee.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hey, Juliana, this seems like a good time and person to ask. I have a bottle of bitters, which I think you like to add to drinks, but the last time it was used was by Plei during the Wolfram and Hart party visit. Does it go bad?

If I only had a brain...

Blessings for this year:

    • Nobody in my family died.
  • Nobody in my family got laid off.
  • We still live in Northern California
  • I got a shiny new job at a shiny new company

Relative to most of the people in the world, we are unimaginably blessed.

HowEVER, the vampire ducks have been out in force. One kid has been having adolescent weep-fits over homework; the other has simply not been handing his homework in; on investigation, it turned out that he was being bullied at his school. The chronic migraines remain chronic. There are some new-job bumps I haven't navigated gracefully.

So, I wish for 2006 what I always wish: some serenity, some space to relax in, and (as ever) more writing accomplished.
