I was mostly thinking about it because I was sad that it was Epiphany and I needed to take down my lights and cute little tabletop tree.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

Hee. The little card said it was from you, so I was spoiled for that, but it was still something else to see the package and really grok that it was sent FROM ISRAEL. So cool!

As for the chocolate, I have to admit I'm not a white chocolate fan, but I'll give the Snowies a try because I do like pistachios.
You don't know what you're missing. IJS.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There is a whole wide world outside the United States! It's nuts!

It's not even chocolate!
Mmm, okay, this is actually quite good. Creamy and pistachio-y.
Mmm, the other chocolate one is good too. Thank you!
...Man, they're really good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think of the lights as winter decoration. Just one way to help fight off the cold and dreary until the days get longer and green things start growing again.

I don't blame you. Your country is ridiculously huge.

Mine is an evil laugh, and a seekrit agenda: to get Max Brenner to as many people I love around the world as fast as I can. Now eat!

It's easy to forget that we could fit, like, all of Europe in here. What the hell.

I will! Between these and the Danish chocolates I picked up in Solvang, Ghirardelli is looking pretty mediocre in comparison.

I was thinking of leaving the window lights for a bit, but I'm pretty strict with putting away the crèche and tree once the twelve days of Christmas are up.

Shir we have Max in NY. Before he opened his stores here, Nilly helped me get things ordered from him for my ex-companie's office in (forgive the spelling) Herzigolia.

Ay, there's the rub: there are different menus for different countries. They claim foreigners have other culinary preferences. I claim that we're all human beings with taste buds, and they're just keeping the good stuff at home.

Well, our tastebuds do get trained pretty early by what's given to us and what's available. Hence, they should make Max Brenner available to us, earlier! And more European goodies, too! I'm actually starting to see a lot more variety in our largest supermarket here in Madison, they've seriously expanded on what they call the "ethnic" aisles. I may have to see what I can find there, now, because I know they've started carrying some of the more esoteric stuff I never saw before. Actual made in whatever stuff and not just Americanized versions.
