Thank you, Secret Santa, for the first part of my gift! I will frolic merrily at Amazon and spend it, especially since I just used up previous gift certificates on other people's presents.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
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 2010? We have a few words for you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm with ita. I don't have the ability to do the secret Santa exchange, but it makes me happy every year to watch it unfold.

Thank you, Kate P.!
I came home yesterday to a package containing a cinnamon chili chocolate bar, some yummy sounding tea that will be in my belly tonight, and a Laura Veirs CD. I know about Laura Veirs from fandom and the internet, but don't have anything by her, so that's going on my iPod post-haste.
It was a lovely Boxing Day present.

My cat just started playing with a gift tag that was next to me on the couch. She had been sleeping on top of it, and she just sat up and started playing with it. Then, she picked up and pranced off with it as if it were the best Christmas present ever. One would think she was a kitten instead of 12 years old. How perfect is that?!

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, it came! That's good. I wasn't sure it would get there in a reasonable amount of time.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Dana, I'm glad it got there! I lovelovelove Laura Veirs, so when I saw that you had requested new-to-you music, she was the first one I thought of. (Yeah, I found out about her through fandom too; have you seen the Doctor Who vid set to her song "Don't Lose Yourself"? That song is on the album I sent you, and it's gorgeous.) Her new album is really good too, but Saltbreakers is my favorite. I hope you enjoy her!

Our wings are not tired
Just popping in here at the wire to say the only thing that is really important to me about 2010. It's the year I got married to Kristin. It's a good year, and it always will be.
