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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Damn.

Spirit Airlines is having sale for Jan 9 - some other date later than that that goes from LA to Kingston or MoBay for $159 each way. By my reckoning, that's cheap.

The evil is this way?

This is the strangest place.

I was reading about letters to Santa today. My favorite letter to Santa came from a lawyer's website:

Dear Santa: Define "good."

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

Donkeyskin is cool if you're into noncon incest threats and stuff. Some versions I guess it's not just a threat.

Dude. It's like Dewey for fairy tales.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What is it called, the thing one uses to keep books propped upright on a bookshelf? It's a totally anodyne thing but I'm writing my christmas list.

It's a bookend, on the end of the shelf.

Hee! We made a candy stop at the 7-11 today, after torturing the children with flu shots. They had stockings with funny messages, like:

Dear Santa: Boys will be boys.

Dear Santa: I can explain everything.

I think there were four, in all. The one I liked best said something along the lines of, "The other kids are partly to blame," but that's not quite it.

A bookend-- thank you!

When I was little, the TV stations always used to play animated versions of the Little Mermaid (NOT the Disney verison) and Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince back to backat Xmas. Oh what a fun night that was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dagnabbit -- after several days of ignoring them, my cat just discovered the "toys" on the Christmas tree. We'll see if I can keep everything on there and away from his reach.

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

Am home now. The most exciting part of my journey home was that a man barked at me. We were walking towards each other on the sidewalk - he even changed his path to be closer to me - then he said, "Arf! Arf! Arf" in a somewhat high-pitched and very loud voice. Kinda' startled me. As I was walking away I heard him barking at someone else, which made me feel better that he handn't just singled me out.
