My brother got Joe this [link] for Christmas last year and Emeline is playing with it and our magnetic David on the frig right now. She asked me who "this guy" is, pointing to Pres. Obama. I said he's the President. You know his name. She forgot so I told her, Barack Obama. She says, "Buh-rock? Like Buh-Rock On!" And then she aked why I was laughing.

OK, I don't think I have a very healthy relationship with my vacuum. Wait, that sounds wrong.

ANYWAY, "fuck you fucking vacuum" was uttered too many times. It falls over if you look at it funny, usually stabbing you. I need a new vacuum.

I used to like GK. I stopped liking him a long time ago. I think I just moved into loathing. I especially like the part where he singled out the Jews. Hey Garrison, do you have an Xmas tree? Then STFU.

British pro rugby player comes out of the closet. I admit, I'm confused by the part where he says he's still in love with his ex-wife. Can you be platonically in love? He has a long tawdry history of infidelity which must be very hurtful to his wife, but I can't imagine the stress of coming out in pro sports.

I've shovelled the walk. Kind of a losing battle at this point. While I am all suited up, going to go out with the camera and take pictures. Might see if Ace is open and if they have any salt.... My front steps will be scary.

The snow is insane! People were actually out Christmas shopping this morning! Thank you Amazon. It's still coming down. Only question for me is - creamy chicken rice or fish chowder for supper?

I need to make an appetizer for a party thing tomorrow and I don't want to go outside. I have some eggs, bulk italian sausage, ground pork, carrots, celery, parsnips, pastry fixins, canned crushed tomatoes, frozen spinach, coconut milk, lentils, onions, garlic, pecans, a variety of citrus fruits...milk, half and half, heavy cream, chicken broth, buttermilk... other stuff. I am uninspired! Some kind of pork pie? Meatball? Sausage... thing? I have a zillion habanero peppers too, which would be good to use. Spicy thai thing with pork and coconut milk?

Sausage rolls? Some kind of quiche or frittata?

ETA: I'm trying to figure out something for a work potluck on Tuesday also. Am feeling very uninspired.

Just be slackers like me! I still got to eat the food. Total user.

I need to make a post office run. I shouldn't be delaying it further, but at least I hope I can just use the machine and dropoff slot.

It took me about 1/2 hour yesterday at the post office, using the machine.

I should be going to a staged reading in about an hour, but I'm filled with sloth. I'm feeling inclined to curl up on the sofa and read while the snow falls outside. Of course I also need to make a Target run for birthday giftwrap.
