When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Tomorrow we are having a proper lazy Jewish Christmas with our neighbors - takeout Chinese and DVDs and kids in jammies all day.

We're doing movies tonight, Chinese food tomorrow. Tomorrow we're also going into the city to see the Maccabeats perform, so that should be fun.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have pants.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am at work, but only for a half-day. Then to friend's for dinner. Tomorrow, movies all day OF COURSE.

My mother missed her connection in Philly. It was her fault, mostly, but she is PISSY about it. I hope she gets over it by the time she gets here.

I have successfully baked a genoise and glued together the Bag End gingerbread house (= THE MOST STRESSFUL PART OF XMAS).

I have pants. I even put them on! Over my fleece-lined leggings, because it is hella cold.

I also forgot a charging cord (in part because I thought the thing was more charged than it apparently was). Am annoyed at self, since it is not an easily replaceable one like my phone or something would be.

And I am out of internet.

I got an email this morning letting me know that I didn't get the job in The Hague. Merry Fucking Christmas.

Now I have to go and be social with my family. Ugh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry Sue. The timing on that is certainly an odd decision on someone's part.

OK, I've had coffee, now I'm going to be productive. Step One - feed the birds, because I can hear them out there and they sound hungry. And Walter really wants to go hang out in the front yard, so why not accommodate that while I can?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My sister and niece are decorating the tree while I sit here with a dachshund on my butt. This is acceptable to all.

If you're sitting, wouldn't the dachshund be UNDER your butt?
