javachik, you're welcome to come over here for Xmas day, if you like. And maybe come over for cookie-frosting sometime this week, if you've a mind?
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kayla Kromer was featured on Neatorama about a year ago for her Hamburger Bed. Now she strikes back with this must have bed for any Star Wars fan. Featuring working headlights, starfield projection, and hidden compartments, its cockpit can also hold action figures (although the two she picked are, indeed, sacrilege). I like the radar dish pillow.

I had latkes last night!
Yay!
Everybody deserves as much Hanukkah as possible, even with other stuff on their plates.
And with that, I have to log off for the night.
But! Tomorrow morning is the one effect of Hanukkah on my work schedule, and my classes are off, so I'll hopefully be able to log on again and declare my vacation in doing-nothing-work-worthy on those hours, only fun postly things.

Mmmmmmm, sufganiyot sounds yummy. The closest I'm likely to come to that are Dunkin Donuts donut holes, which a friend brought over Friday night as an NC-style nod to Hanukkah's tradition. And they were pretty good, so I'm certainly not complaining. Still, the word "sufganiyot" sounds more interesting.(Sufganiyot is not as easy to find here as donut holes.) Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it!

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks, Juliana. The days around the holidays themselves are already jam-packed (Sacramento Christmas eve, Charlie comes over Christmas morning, then we drive out to his sister's in Tracy). I have all of the week of Christmas off, though, so could be up for cookie-making.

Our neighborhood Chabad is having a Hanukkah celebration tonight and I thought about taking Noah to see the lighting of the menorah. But it also seems like a lot of work to get him ready given how tired I am. He's on hour 3 of a nap. I should go wake him but the kitchen mixer running didn't even get a peep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After going to B&N, I think I have overbought for one person and underbought for others. Either I'll figure out how to shuffle stuff around so that it makes sense, or I'll keep -- I mean, return -- a couple of things...
Also, I fricking love the internet. I just did vocal warmups with some guy on YouTube.

Holy crap -- the owner of Oriental Trading Company lost $127 MILLION in Vegas. [link] And that was 5.6% of Harrah's Vegas revenue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god. I bet he won't get anywhere with the "kept me drugged up" allegations either.
