I am sad I missed the rest of the discussion, but I had (HAD, I tell you) to go see The Prestige. Hmm. I'm startled by how little I knew of the movie going in.

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

Speaking of weird events, tonight I cooked at home and didn't have one of my traditional disasters! Nothing too elaborate, but I used the range top and the oven on both bake and broil settings. Broiled shrimp skewers (that the seasoning rub Maria gave me for Christmas worked great on), rice, and one of those coquille St. Jacques things.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congratulations on cooking without a disaster. That sounds like the name of a cookbook for bachelors.

Yay! It pleases me to no end that you are actually enjoying your gift, and it's still giving almost a year later.
(Why yes, I am a giant sappy fool. Carry on.)

I may be doing Thanksgiving this year. It will be the first time I've been in charge of the feast in about 16 years. I'm skeerrd.

Suzi, it will all be fine. Look at it this way, you can make what *you* want to eat, instead of eating what someone else thinks you should eat.
Besides, I wanna kiss the cook.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommyrot, you've never read any Charles Fort, have you?
Nope.
eta: Actually, I might have when I was in grade school, when I first became interested in the paranormal. Come to think of it, I first heard of the Tunguska explosion then....

Wacky.
Alan Moore is to feature in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons.
Moore, aged 53, recorded his lines at The Lodge studios in Abington Square last month for an episode which will be called Husbands and Knives.

I'm skipping preparing Thanksgiving this year to go to the mountains and have someone else cook. I may bring pie, though.

We normally go to my cousin's where that whole side of the family gathers. But after all of them flaked on my mom this month, I'm not feeling like spending the day with them. And yes, I'm tweaked enough to be willing to cook.

I'm making cranberry relish! Unless everyone hated it, and then I won't. I couldn't tell. It was weird making it without my usual tools and it is something I really like, but just a spoonful at a time, cause it is strong.
Fuck, I still have to figure out Xmas. I have an open invite from my brother. My parents are assuming I'm spending it with them. (They are doing Xmas at TG with my brother.) At this point? I hate to leave my parents alone, my brother will have company, but I just don't really give a shit about the holiday outside it being fun for the nephew and...it's a wash. Maybe I'll win a trip somewhere. I swear to god, it would be easier if I had a kid or SO, but I'm not willing to do that 24/7 365. Bleargh. I wish we could rent a compound or some shit.
