Though I can't imagine you outside of LA.
I know, me neither. Although I've been practicing. When I was there for the holidays, I spent a little time walking around the neighborhood, trying to make it feel neighborhoodly.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hah! I can picture it now.
Sean: Wondertwin powers activate! Streets, sidewalks, and buildings--form of a NEIGHBORHOOD.
Sean (after surveying the changes): Not THAT kind of neighborhood...

Hmm... if I can't find them when I go up for my uncle's memorial (I don't think I mentioned it here, but my uncle died last month, only the memorial's a BBQ, and it hasn't been scheduled yet, and I don't even know, so hey), which is possible given that I scoured Vernon looking for the damn things the last time we were up there, I will check that out.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Sean, that's exciting! Great news!
I met my mom for lunch, and in honor of the Buffistas, I had a muffaletta. I won't tell you what was (and wasn't) on it, to forestall any kerfuffle. (I already know it wasn't up to snuff, b/c I had to have it on GF bread, so right there it's already failing to meet standards.) It was pretty good, though.

That is awesome news, Sean!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So happy for you (and us), Sean!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sean, that's really great news!

That's terrific, Sean!
