Instantly wants a Golo

On the other hand, we also get presents from Golo, who is the giant that lives in Granddaddy's head. Golo is far more real than Santa.

This reminds me of my father's "evil twin" who lived in the basement, but would come out when the boy next door was over. He was very convincing.

There's a whole menagerie that goes along with him, the most talkative being Sven and Olaf the Norwegian rats. They recite poetry.

Golo sounds awesome.

Tom, I hope you had have found something for you niece by now, and that the rest of the weekend=less stress.

I want a Golo. Not necessarily in *my* head. But in general.

Taught class today. I think it went pretty well. I'm picking up an assload of classes covering for people on vacation, plus I now have three classes on the schedule. I think I am for real.

Tom, yes, hoping what everyone else, that you are having a peaceful if not fun time.

Okay, now I must prep my nails. Krav girl disappeared before I could paint her nails. Je suis bereft.

Nails prepped.

I expect my definition of religious symbology derives from "if a vampire would recoil from it"...

Do you think a vampire would be more likely to recoil from a yarmulkah than a Mogan David? I'd totally be thrusting the Star in front of me, if I believed. NSM a menorah or a prayer shawl.

If the menorah was lit, then I'd go with the menorah.

ETA: We opened presents xmas eve, and just did stockings xmas itself. Eve was the big deal, with the presents, walking around Mesilla at night and whatnot. 25th was pretty much for eating.

I braved the hoards. Still haven't found anything good for my brother, but he just wants gift cards, so that's what I'll do. Tomorrow. When I brave the mall in case Safeway doesn't have the right cards. Got a dinosaur pop-up book (I think msbelle was the one who showed me it existed) and the teeny Sendak trio of books. Discovered Ulta, which I need to remember whenever I need makeup or stuff. They have all my stuff and then some. It's like a mini-sephora. Got my mom a bat. Saw them years ago in ABQ airport, but getting them back through security seemed iffy, so I had to pass. But I found one here!

I need to clean, but the a&w cheeseburger seems to be sapping my ambition. Maybe I'll just dye my hair tonight and straighten up (ie put shit away) and do the cleaning and laundry tomorrow. Aiyiyi.

a baseball bat?
