Last year. There was no cranberry. None.
Wrong.

But we hastily threw on a small pot so Thanksgiving was saved.
Hee!!
It's quite pathetic how sad I was to have no mashed potatoes on the actual holiday. I mean, I had family around me, lots of good food, including other traditional items (which, for my SIL and her Italian family, began with lasagna and eggplant parmesian), and here I was, pouting over one thing that I just had four days earlier.

Now it's back to the house to spray foam and bring over the skylight tubes and a few other things before the insulation guy comes tomorrow. Then drywall.
I totally love living vicariously on the house going up front! So cool.

mmm. Reminds me of when I lived in London. One of my housemates was a NY italian. We decided to cook Thanksgiving dinner, and we asked our housemates what was traditional for their Thanksgivings. Sal said "well, we always start with lasagna" Quite a surprise. He was willing to be overruled :) Of course, his dad saved the day because he came over a few weeks earlier and brought canned pumpkin (which we could not find in England!)

You realize that I'm now planning Cooger & Dark's New Pandemonium Shadow Show, only with more eyeliner and bosoms, and by "bound in service" we'll probably mean "stand around reading comics and looking pretty".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's Christmas music time! I just realised I need to seek out "Do They Know It's Christmas?" on my iPod and get my 80s on.
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time!

DUDE. I'm with you. I have spare top hats I can donate to the cause. So, Frankie is our version of the Illustrated Man?

I was listening to my boxed set of Simon & Garfunkel while driving home this weekend, and thought that someone should update "Seven O'Clock News/Silent Night."

The status is NOT quo.
I could design a Buffista Circus.Just what I need; circus noises coming out of Drew's studio. Thanks a lot, people! Though I guess that would be better than some of what I've heard from that room. Chainsaws and screaming got pretty old by October, and I'm really sick of Toy Story right about now.
Jilli, I want to be in your circus just so that you will dress me up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
