NPR told me last week that the days start getting longer a couple of days before the solstice this year, due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think the deal is that the sun starts rising earlier a few days before the solstice. Or maybe it starts setting later a few days before the solstice. But not both, as the solstice is still the shortest day....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Merry Christmas Bitches!

Merry christmas!!
My Secret Santa present came today! There was a knock at the door and I thought it was my dad, but no! It was the mail man. With a package from Amy! Full of wonderful purple and dragonfly things and cookies. (more details in Good Riddance). And a mix CD, which I'm playing right now and IFG.
I was on the phone with my brother who gave me the best news -- they're having a baby!!!! She's due in August. I'm going to be an aunt.
Now I really do have to learn to crochet something cool. Oh, and it's so awesome because my parents will be retired by then and can travel up to see them.
I'm going to be Aunt Ali!!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congratulations, Ali!

Our wings are not tired.
Merry Christmas all!
Yay Auntie Ali!
Longer days are a good thing. Bring 'em on.
14-15 or something expected for dinner. My house is still a disaster. One of these years I will be ready in time. The dust bunnies may not be gone before the crowd arrives, but the food is yummy. I'm drinking wine before I start on cleaning the dining room.

I actually got to sleep in the morning. Incredible. But then CJ couldn't stand it anymore.
So, prezzies have been opened, Christmas breakfast has been consumed. The living room is still a disaster zone of boxes and wrapping paper and goodies everywhere. Electronic gear is charging at outlets throughout the house. K-But got her own digital camera. CJ got a portable DVD player.
The cat got a laser pointer - or I should say we got a laser pointer with which to torture the cat. Torture has commenced to much hilarity.
