Hi, Owen!
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Ginger, Owen says, "Hi! I want to watch Olive [the Other Reindeer] and break and eat the candy canes on the Christmas tree!"
I can't wait until they understand the carrot-and-stickiness of Santa Claus.

Aaargh. I just had a nightmarish flashback to a train ride I took last Saturday back to Salem. Some grade-schooler age boy kept screeching "All of the other reindeer!" - just that one line - over and over again as loud as he could, with his mother barely shushing him or keeping him in check. The only mitigating factor was I couldn't quite tell if the kid was being maniacally obnoxious, or if he had some genuine issues. Impossible to ignore, either way. shudders at the memory

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I need a new coffeepot, too, but I'm thinking of getting a french press. For the quality of coffee, and because it doesn't require power over the heating of the water, which I could do over a wood stove if I really wanted to.

I get on a plane in 26 hours and I'm in complete denial. OK, must start shoving things off to the side now...

I'm a huge fan of the Melitta cone -- cheaper than a French press, and without the grittiness factor.

That's what I use(though mine is taller.) Which reminds me, must remember to pack spare.

You know, in my heart I really do believe that if I could drink coffee, I'd be an adult. That and a couple way more significant life passages, but scarily that's one of the prime ones.

Okay, I take it back about the Melitta cones -- I want one of these! Vintage!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
so tired omg. The night before a six-hour drive is just the best time to have insomnia.
