Oh, and I meant to say, we're in NYC this year. We'll be in Bellport on Friday, but possibly in the city on Saturday and defintely on Sunday - church, you know, at First Pres at 5th Ave and 12th. So I'd love to see folks who might be in town/in the area if we can swing it.
Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
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.
Oh drat! I just realized that leaving San Diego means that Thanksgiving is a total crap shoot this year. My aunt and uncle not only saved me from the other side of the family but aunt always cooked some of the stuffing, out of the bird with no celery for me. I love her for that.
Seriously, anyone who want company, but no big TO-DO is welcome to come to my place. Well, really only if you are willing to deal with my stressy packing and possibly help with last-minute stuff. But there will be pie and parade watching and football and dips and chips.
I don't understand how people go out during the week!
Aha... this is why I... don't. Or when I do, I make damn sure the plans are worth the fatigue.
Bah. I am so tired. Plus gravity is extra-strong today.
I went to bed early, but then woke up at 3:00 am and couldn't sleep. The internet was down, so I rewatched last week's BSG. Then I had weird BSG dreams once I got back to sleep.
I think I also kept having dreams about waking up last night. That didn't help any.
We now have reservations for our last 3 nights in Africa. It is a start. I just balked at booking for the night we arrive. AT 3:30AM!!! because it was the uber expensive place and was gonna be over $400 a night. I just cannot stomach that. That would sponsor a child for almost 2 years to stay with their family rather than coming to the orphanage. yeah, can't do that.
I also dreamt that for some reason I was living in a dorm (even though I still had my current job and was not in school). I wanted to sleep but my roomate was there with some other guys from the dorm. And they could all see what a slob I was, so I started picking up stuff. And then they let my cat out - he went to chase the cats that were hanging out in the dorm hallway. All the time this was going on, I was thinking, "Why did I decide to live here?"
Yikes! That is insane msbelle. May some rational choice appear.
Thanksgiving has always been a big deal for my family. I've done the hosting most times the last couple decades or so. This year I booked a camp site and marina slip in Key West. We will drag the boat down there with tons of junk food and air mattresses and so forth. I'm thinking fresh snapper with key lime pie might be on the menu.
I just wanted to get away. Told the rest of the family they could come to the keys if they want, or figure out some other plan for themselves. 4 days and nights! Not exactly roughing it since the campground has pool, and spa, and tiki bar, etc. But sleeping in a tent, or on the boat! I can't wait.
I think amych should do housewarming/thanksgiving for orphans, and cook something sophisticated and French. And I'll come eat it.

Also, in fair use news I learned that the Looni has been put on the short list of people to sue by publishers, so that's why we're cracking down on e-reserved big time.
