OK, I asked my dad. He said he likes Charlie Brown Christmas because it's a good show with a good soundtrack. (He thinks I'm weird for thinking too deeply about cartoons.) Anyway, he says that's why Jews watch it -- good music. I said, "OK, then, what about the Grinch?" He responded, "Everybody knows the Grinch is Jewish."
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yay for being seen! I've been in LA since October, but I've been in hiding. I now feel fit to go out in public again.
And yes we'll definitely have to get together after the holidays. Sadly, I have no time off from work during this holiday season because I haven't worked here long enough to accrue any vacation days. I'm still trying to wrap my head around places that don't shut down for two weeks for the winter break.
Between the ujima and the ujamaa and the umoja, I think Kwanzaa is beyond fixing. Then again, I have no knowledge of Kwanzaabot or what his powers may be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't believe I have to go back to the store. *sigh* Grocery was OUT of powdered sugar last night and I need it for the gingerbread men. Gah.
Wish me luck.

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
too bad the interpipes don't work as they should. I have cornered the market on powdered sugar for no reason that I can think of

Oy. I screwed up the meringue on top of my Christmas cookies at Nicole's. It was a very thin, drippy meringue. Fortunately, baking still hardened it. It's just the principal. The meringue should have been fluffier! As it was today. Today, was a good meringue day.

Hey, Kat P.! Come up to San Francisco and play!
Went to get my paycheck and walked by a Brookstone where everything was on sale. Got my last present; a lower back massage shiatsu pillow thing marked down to $49. I tried the demo model and it was good. Not as good as the calf massaging unit, but that was $299 on sale.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Um, help? As most Bayistas know, the middle of my house is a mini-patio open to the sky. This is normally not a problem, but I noticed that water was collecting there and asked my laissez-faire housemate if we should do anything about it. He said there was a drain underneath the big clay pot and it might be clogged. his attitude=whatever.
Anyway, it has now rained a lot to the point that there is about two inches of water there (just under the sill of the French doors to the house) and I discovered this has been leaking into the basement (onto his stuff, not mine). So I waded into the cold water to unclog the drain and discovered--there is no drain!
WTF do I do now?
