I hit a brick wall, and now I'm home.
I'll rest up and decompress a bit, and then I'll go out again. Just three more presents to go.
Hopefully, I'll finish everything today, and won't have to do anything but drink tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The evil is this way?
Of course, the Cubbies will win the World Series, on the way, so it will all be worth it.
Yes, the Boston Red Sox winning set the stage for the apocalypse. A Cubbie win would put us over the edge.

I saw her, briefly, but got distracted before the episode ended. She looked OK. I like the NuNuCarly, but I still miss her.

What is even happening?
I ended up missing it. She really was my favorite. I'm not sure I've seen NuNu Carly.
I read a really big GH spoiler at TV Guide (not concerning Carly). It's a couple of months away, but I kind of can't believe it was spoiled, where it was, as it was. I was going to white font it here, but even though this board isn't soapy, I don't think that would be in keeping with the rules. I'm going to put it in the spoiler thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just sat down to the computer with the FedEx door tag they'd left yesterday, to find out if there was any way for me to get my sister's book before I left for home tomorrow. It's not like the tag acknowledges the existence of Saturday.
Before I could make it to fedex.com (I admit, I got a little distracted hunting for a Dr. Who 2006 Christmas special), FedEx showed up. It's a true miracle, especially for those of us with Internet-exacerbated ADD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
FedEx showed up. It's a true miracle,
There needs to be a manger scene with a FedEx guy miraculously showing up with presents for baby Jesus.

A couple years ago I got USPS mail on Christmas day. The lady was very cheerful. Triple overtime or some such.
I do appreciate that a great deal--it was a gift from a relative.

Yup, in big markets, Express Mail will be delivered on Christmas.

Yorkshire pudding: I've not only never made it, I've never had it. Who has?
How does this [link] recipe from Cooks.com look to you?
If I make it in a muffin pan (so a little bit of batter in each muffin cup), how should I alter the timing?
