Spike ,'Get It Done'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
I'm jealous but I'm glad you get to enjoy it Sox!
not just me - Iris keeps pulling it out and cackling like a mad despot while she looks at them and makes today different months - controlling time I guess. I have no idea why she does this, but I do know she loves them so.
Rats. I am starting to suspect that my parcel has gone astray in the mail. Although I'm clinging on to the thought that obviously things will be slower if they're sent at the festive season...still, the Royal Mail website reckons 12 days or so from the UK to the US, and I posted it...well, I'm not sure, but certainly before the 20th.
pouts
I'm going to wait a week or so, and then maybe send a new one, just to be sure. Stoopid post.
Fear not, Fay! I received it and it is all AWESOME!!!!1!
Thank you!!!!!1!
Ooo, Christmas pudding! I got that from a friend one year and shared it at an orphan Christmas party. It was yummy!
I've been trying to summarize how I feel about 2008 and...I don't know.
2008 felt like I was just keeping my head down, not attracting any undue attention from the Fates. We had recurring car trouble, but we're getting through it. We had job upsets, but we got through 'em. We had schedule-juggling and moving and etc. etc. and we just put our heads down, plugged away and got through it.
I don't feel like I *did* much this year in other words, aside from survive. Which, you know, may be enough. I began paying off my student loans so in 2009 I will be eligible to get financial aid and I can go back to school, which will be good.
I would like a chance to shine in 2009, I guess. Surviving is good, but excelling is better and I don't feel like I had enough room or time to do that.
I too would like a Miracleman whose dials are set to Excel.

Yeah, I call that the Zombie March. Sometimes just moving forward is exactly what's required.
Speaking of which, I pitched a TV miniseries idea to my coworker the other day. Zombie Lawfirm. Yeah, I know zombies are a little played out, but I was seeing it as zombie attorneys and human staff. And you just check in every day ("Morning, Ralph"), pick up your shotgun and sit at your desk waiting for a zombie attorney to come lurching towards your desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Peters."
"Ghnarggh. Uhrrrr..."
"Can I get you the Jarndyce file?"
"GNARRR!!"
::lurch attack::
KA-BLAMM!
Zombie Lawfirm.
It's like Office Space meets Day of the Dead.
Who wouldn't love that?
It's like Office Space meets Day of the Dead.
Or the opening scene of Shaun of the Dead.
"Looks like you've been missing alot of zombies, Peter."
"I wouldn't say I've been 'missing' them Bob." *KABLAM*
OMG! The theme song could be "Re: Your Brains"! We must get this show greenlit!
