Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

hip deep in pie

Watching a retelling of Much Ado About Nothing with Damian Lewis ans Sarah Parrish ans Billie Piper. I can't believe this has been sitting on my Apple TV all this time.

I really want to see those.

I'm at my parent's for the holidays. I tried listening to an audiobook of A Confederacy of Dunces on the bus, but I kept falling asleep and drifint in and out of the plot. I listened to almost 5 hours, but probably only heard 90 minutes.

By the time the snowpocalypse reaches here, were supposedly only getting trace amounts of snow, then rain. I did not bring footwear for a green Xmas.

Ugh, spent the afternoon shopping for a replacement gift for best friend's wife since my order from Signals that allegedly shipped on 12/3 hasn't arrived yet. Or more accurately, spent the afternoon driving around the mall parking lot looking for a space, as the actual shopping part probably took less than 45 minutes once I made the trek in from Outer Mongolia. If I have to do this again for my family drawing gift next week my new hobby will become giving bad word of mouth on every consumer review website I can turn up on the internets.

I'd like to see someone come out in a sport with a large black contingent.

Dennis Rodman in drag doesn't count, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After leaving my cookies out on the counter all day, I just ate one with a broken leg, and it's pretty good! And they are cute enough. So that's good. At my parents, I frosted cupcakes and chopped some stuff, and then we watched half of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (I typed "Several" the first time, which would have maybe been a funnier movie), and decorated the tree. Nice! Now I just have to remember to bring everything over tomorrow.

Still no snow here.

Yep, Sparky! I shall write to him and brag.

Jesse, I meant to say yesterday that I love the moving nativity. That is awesome.

Tonight's dinner: ahi tuna w/ shredded carrots in a ginger/garlic/teryaki sauce w/ soba noodles over fresh spinach leaves. Oh, I'm going to love living here. Once all the freaking snow melts. Pretty, but PITA.

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

Continuing my string on ridiculous holiday specials, I am watching the Thomas Kinkade movie. Snowy days seem to require stuff like this.

I totally copied my mother and put the nativity folks on my bookshelves, too. It's cute!

I just wrapped some presents, so I can bring them over tomorrow, but then I remembered both that I had a concept to bring a big suitcase for Christmas, so I can put everything else in there.
