Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Always Anti-fascist!

I got a Deadwood Christmas fic! Other stuff is forthcoming, but I mostly picked that, so nsm with the surprising and magic and stuff which is generally the province of celestials and dirt-worshippers.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm so sorry about your cousin, ita. I hope you enjoy Christmas with your sister.

Posting from the sky (love Virgin). Merry Christmas!

With this being Christmas, it took me a while to correctly parse the virgin reference. Have fun with your two great kids, Suzi.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda officially got too much stuff. We had to stop opening.

Breakfast has been had. We're moving into stupor and candy nibbling.

eta: And mimosas!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

DH got me a lovely pearl necklace. He also got Olivia a small, matching (but cheaper) version. So cute.

Aww! You're like Marge and Lisa Simpson!

(Also, DO NOT image google "Marge and Lisa Simpson" if you have SafeSearch turned off. It seriously never occurred to me that people would draw obscene incestual Simpsons art. But oh, my god, they have.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Egg nog is made and mostly consumed. Waffle eggwhite disaster cleaned up in kitchen. Gifts exchanged--tiki earrings received. Sister has never heard of tiki bar. Hec despairs and knows not why.

Konked out Grace is cute. Dancing Noah is cute. Christmas kids are cute.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We just got back from consuming massive amounts of dim sum. I may never eat again.

(The best part was the Chinese woman - not an employee - who came over to us right after we sat down and expressed her shock and delight that we liked Chinese food. It would have been patronizing, but she looked so genuinely pleased that we were there that we just joked about having a traditional Jewish Christmas and then pointed to DH and my sister who had both lived in Hong Kong. This sort of thing is why I prefer Sunset Park to Chinatown in Manhattan.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

expressed her shock and delight that we liked Chinese food.

Is she not a permanent U.S. resident? USAian and Mexican cattle barons in the old west competed for workers by hiring Chinese cooks to improve food quality on cattle drives. The North American love affair with Chinese food is by no means new. (And I do mean all of North America. In addition to Mexican and USAian cattle drives, I believe the Canadian timber industry started hiring Chinese cooks at the same time.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Merry Christmas!

My goose is cooked! The SO is carving it as I type. It's a very midwestern high starch meal. But I have hopes at this point. Meep!

Love all you guys. Glad you're a part of my life.
