Mmm. Bacon-wrapped shrimp dumplings. Treyf heaven.
Fred: The size and depth of the wound indicate a female vampire. Harmony: Or gay! Fred: Um…it doesn't really work like that.

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

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.
Ah, when you said "Dim Sum" I should have realized you meant real Chinese food. Though in my experience, most Americans do like real Chinese food if they get a chance to try it. (In some cases I suspect this is contingent on them not knowing the ingredients, but applies to a lot popular American staples as well.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bacon-wrapped shrimp dumplings. Treyf heaven.
Yeah, they were pretty much packed with awesome.
We even got Dylan to try a chicken foot this year! And he ate a snail, which is more than I was willing to do.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got DDR for the wii, and, as my ankle is still screwed up a bit, I'm letting my niece, nephew, and potential nephew-in-law go to town with it. It's fun to see them moving around to songs from my teenage years.

The good: My Farscape complete series DVDs have arrived, and every episode has commentaries that are as enjoyable as those on the Wonderfalls DVDs (i.e. better than the commentaries for any other series I've ever seen).
The bad: The quick scene cuts, brilliant contrast and lighting, and warbling alien-sounding music are probably the least compatible things to view while enjoying the extra-strength migraine Santa left me as a gift today.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Everybody sounds so cozy! It's wonderful. And the kids are cute.
H is making bacon and eggs for lunch--bacon is great anytime, right?--and we're basking in carols and each other's company. We don't do a big Day dinner--apostasy, I know--but it works for us. The phone works, and StY is happy and so are the kids, so we're well pleased with the holiday this year.
Epic, all the mom~ma in the world to you and her.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
all gifts have now been opened and despite mac refusing to eat lunch, I think we have made it through 2 days with no real rough patches. I can feel that I am not yet over being whiney, but I am going to try to keep it to myself. I know I upset my mom earlier by telling her what was really going on, so I am going to stop sharing so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Children of the Victorian Era had to be tough, because this Santa Claus would have given me nightmares! This picture is a detail of a larger family portrait from Flickr user stevechasmar. For sheer weirdness, it just might beat out the previous creepy Santa post. See more Victorian Christmas ephemera in his photostream. Link

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Merry Christmas everybody!
We have had a great one so far. Many toys have been played with. Including skateboards for all the kids courtesy of my brother. And so far, no tears. That last part is shocking.

I'm sorry that you can't share with her without stressing her out.
Funeral is next Saturday. I've booked my ticket. Last time I was in New Orleans it was for a funeral. I'm beginning to have negative associations. Also, I have nothing to wear. Even though I don't have to dress in black, I don't know if I have anything that feels appropriate and somber, because I wear black so much anyway.
