Nilly, that rocks like a rocking thing.

That is brilliant, Nilly!

Oh, here's a favorite moment from Christmas -- introducing my father to Inside Pants! My mother got him these flannel pajama bottoms, and he was all, I would wear these all the time! Inside pants!!

Nilly, DH declares that kipa to be AWESOME!

The ads for Lie to Me are fascinating. I love Tim Roth. And keep being impressed by the quality of actors Fox keeps bringing to tv.

that is really cool , Nilly

The Simpsons kipa is love!

ION, I don't know how to link it so b.org gets the affiliate credit, but I saw some really good deals on dvds over on Amazon. Supernatural seasons 19.99, Firefly 19.99, Pushing Daisies 18.99 etc. Maybe this is fairly normal, I don't do a lot of DVD shopping. But just in case.

xpost with boxed set.

Nilly, that is amazing! Such tiny stitches and such good likenesses!

Nilly, that is absolutely amazing!

I am jealous of people with this coming week of. Back to work tomorrow seems all kinds of wrong. I did enjoy some time alone both yesterday and today though. The more I thought about it over this holiday, the more I think I need to do a really severe purging of belongings.

good thought to Nilly, Shir, and families of both and to any and all caught in the conflict. peaceful thoughts to those in positions to make decisions.

Holiday wishes to all, and to those in the need, peace and safety.

I'm not sure what category this story fits, but oh my this man has some nerve:

Pa. family gets Christmas surprise when stranger emerges from attic after days unnoticed

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — A family didn't realize it had an unexpected Christmas guest until a man who had been in their attic for days emerged wearing their clothes, police said.

Stanley Carter surrendered Friday after police took a dog to search the home in Plains Township, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre about 100 miles north of Philadelphia. He was charged with several counts of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespass.

"When he came down from the attic, he was wearing my daughter's pants and my sweat shirt and sneakers," homeowner Stacy Ferrance said. "From what I gather, he was helping himself to my home, eating my food and stealing my clothes."

Police said the 21-year-old Carter had been staying with friends who are Ferrance's neighbors in a duplex. He apparently accessed the shared attic through a trap door in a bedroom ceiling.

Carter kept a list of everything he took, said Plains Township police Officer Michael Smith.

"When we were going through the inventory of what he did take, we found a note labeled 'Stanley's Christmas List' of all the items he had removed from the residence and donated to himself," Smith said.

Nilly, love the kipa!

msbelle, if it makes you feel any better, though I have this week off, I have scads and scads of grading to do. Time to pay the piper for having slacked off last week.
