msbelle, Hall & Oates. Also, mac is extra smart--ice cream and french fries ROCK.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Our Christmas party was today, though there is another one next Friday (for SF and Palo Alto). There was wine, but no shrimp.

We have no christmas party. Boo. Hiss.
I should go do dishes. Since K left I haven't really set foot in the kitchen.
Also, I'm finishing up A Thousand Splendid Suns. I love Housseini's writing and his storytelling is wonderful. But it pains me to read his books.

Kat, everytime I visit, Gracie has an episode of some sort. I'd take offense (and hell, I'd be fine if you take offense!) but I love the girl and don't want to be her Typhoid Mary, and sure as hell you aren't. Let's just call it chalking up the drama for mama.
Thoroughly enjoyed Kite Runner.
Still remote-sitting, but girly is at least home, tying up the phone line.

I thought Kite Runner was lovely. And sad. AND this one? Quite fantastic. But so upsetting. By the way, sarameg, did you like Word Freak?

I read Kite Runner along with Black Tulip, Bookseller of Kabul and I think the Sewing Circle of Herat one. Or at least I grouped them mentally. Was incredibly sobering.
I'm 95% through WG. And yeah, enjoying it, but it is so weird. I mean, I'm pretty damned geeky, but this goes beyond my geekdom into obsessive.
How are K& Noah doing? Talked to my Boise bf and she said a cold front was coming so they went out and bought pink snowboots for her daughter. I laughed because she was so anti-pink, only most likely her kid loves pink!

Noah is Mr. Cold. His Aunt Ness arrived last night so he's had a new person to entertain him.
I miss him.

So he's like me and Doesn't Approve of Winter? Glad he has fun peoples. Sorry you miss him. Soon.

Very soon. Can't way to see him.
No. He likes the cold, but he doesn't handle it well. It's been really really cold there, and relatively dry.

I don't like the cold and I don't handle it well. I whine.
I've had a bloody nose since I got back. It's kind of ridic, you'd think LA was drier, but not with forced air heat! I've been running the penguin humidifier but I still wake up parched and voiceless,
