Stuff I got for Xmas from GF:
- Navy blue Sauconys with a silver stripe
- Murakami exhibit book (MOCA exhibit we're seeing this week)
- A Dare Wright Lonely Doll book
- A Tale of Two Sisters DVD (loved that movie) >[link]
And my "big gift" is yet to come. Merry Christmas!
Also? I'm missing my niece and nephew like whoa.
GC, you scored some really cool gifts. Well done GC's GF.
Those Dare Wright books are fascinating.
Yeah, I'm totally into Dare Wright. Have you read the bio? Totally fascinating. Also I've had more than my share of vodka and rum tonight.
Stuff we watched tonight:
- Charlie Brown Christmas special
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
- Curb Your Enthusiasm Christmas ep with the nativity scene
- The Avengers Christmas ep (where Steed is having weird dreams that come true)
Have you read the bio? Totally fascinating. Also I've had more than my share of vodka and rum tonight.
I only read reviews of the bio when the books were reissued, but it was such compelling and odd story. And the books are both sweet and also have those weird little undertows in them.
You really must read it - gripping [link]
Stuff we watched tonight:
That's a good slate.
Tomorrow I intend to watch xmas specials for: Futurama, Invader Zim and Venture Brothers.
I'm home from my most beloved Christmas Tradition. Christmas Eve at Joe and Andy's Hole in the Wall, a total dive bar in La Mesa that I've been hitting every Christmas eve for probably at least a decade now.
I have three things I would like to do before she gets home in an hour or so. I'm having a hard time prioritizing.
While I was driving home from work, I got this feeling that there would be some mutual guilt that we just have not accomplished much in the way of holiday preparation this year. And I thought, "What really matters is that we are here together. Any Christmas-y thing we get done is a bonus."
Geez, I sound like made-for-tv movie.
But that's how I feel.
And so, when I got home and found my cat asleep on top of my man, dishes soaking in the sink, and the box of decorations down from the closet but not put up, I was very happy. And said so.
