Hey, you are asking the wrong person! And totally ok, ok? I've gotten two gifts for each of my parents! And they are MY PARENTS. (If I was totally greedy, I'd direct you to the local homemade tamales place, but that's my thing. Heh.) I'll try to brainstorm in the next couple of days, okay?

jeez, I ought to go to bed...

Huh, was 30 Rock moved to Thursday? Because I thought it came on Wednesdays.

NO! Tell me now, sara! NO BED.

I'm all about instant gratification today. Okay, every day.

I think so, sumi. I'm not 100% sure but that's what I thought when I glanced at it. I could so be wrong.

Oh, you could bring them Kuma. falls over laughing, both at their cats' bewilderment and mom dealing with dear sweet Kuma's weirdity on walks in the desert.

edit: that was an odd crosspost. Heh.

don't be mean to your parents, sara. Kuma's just a cruel gift.

Though actually he's doing much better these days then Bear. Bear is, I'm pretty sure, deaf.

Hey, Kat, can I have Kuma to give to B? Sure, there might be logistical issues, but who cares? Christmas miracle!

Aw, poor Bear. Such a sweetie.

Hey, your dogs actually had me thinking having dogs isn't so bad, so give even Kuma his kudos.

OK, I'm really going to bed now. Planes to catch, cats to board and stuff left to pack.

Okay, fine, sarameg. Go. be a sleepyhead. Harumph.

I can't see B with Kuma. I mean, Kuma's totally an acquired taste. Cause he's so not normal. and I think Kuma finally likes us. So I don't think he can go to B for xmas. But if you want to get B a puppy, I'll go to the pound and pick one for him. Seriously.

Also, please to explain the fucking weather in SoCal? Tonight it's supposed to be in the upper 20s and 30s!

B isn't normal either. But if y'all are becoming a happy dog family that's its own Festivus miracle right there.

B can't have a puppy. B wants a puppy and melts whenever a dog is near, but his life has no room for puppies.

The winter here was being so mild! And then Friday or Saturday (I'm beginning to lose my place in the calendar) everything started to plummet.

Jamaica's still pretty regular--I'm hoping the 85° weather comes with sunny skies, but the temperature is really the important thing.

Has anyone else seen the Taco Bell mea culpa commercial? The one where Greg Creed, the CEO, apologizes and tries to reassure the public?He mentions the NIH saying that e. coli outbreak is over.

"We are working with produce suppliers to prevent this from happening again... I can assure you that Taco Bell food is safe to eat."

The production values were terrible... it looked like an SNL skit. I guess when you only charge $.59 for a taco that's what you get.
