'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A clear, bright, cool day in San Francisco after a couple days of winter storms.
The pup we were looking at got adopted yesterday by somebody else. Good for all of them.
Last night I went to a Xmas Cabaret show with my friend, Jes. It featured, among other things, a slide show presentation of A Star Wars Holiday Special that culminated in a Han Solo male pole dancer.
Excellent holiday entertainment, San Francisco style.
Timelies all!
Sleepy….
Oh, well, Hecubus. Maybe your dog will show up at another time. (That's not a comment about the pole-dance thing.) I would like us to have another terrier again, someday, but we kind of only just have the room, so I understand why we don't.
My day would have been improved with a Han Solo pole dancer.
We have a local tradition called the Slutcracker, which is basically burlesque Nutcracker, and I'm always a little disappointed in how much Nutcracker it vs how much burlesque! Although one time I saw a woman en pointe who definitely got kicked out of ballet for being too big, and it made me tear up because she was so good.
Timelies, all! The Slutcracker sounds fun.
Have I mentioned how unfond I am of Mondays?

I spent my first hour of work online with IT support, so that was not the best way to kick off the week, but I am fond of the support guy.
It's Finals Week for Matilda but she's in pretty good shape. She has two 2-hour finals per day, Tues-Weds-Thurs this week.
I drove her into school early today so she could study and prep. Early xmas break this year so everybody's back to school right after New Year's.
I haven't done a lot of xmas shopping but I have managed to track down and order deadstock Nick and Nora flannel pajamas for everybody. Not just for the immediate family but for Matilda's bestie, Mia, (Who is always happily borrowing JZ's pjs on sleepovers), and Emmett's gf, Kalena, and his best friend, Joey, and my MiL.
I trawl the interpipes! Thank you eBay, Etsy, Poshmark and Mercari!
Fancy Flannel for all!
Also, I got four things in the mail last week, and I'm going to focus on getting a batch more (including cards) out this week.
My friend Jes is coming over on Tuesday afternoon so we can watch the Kate Bush xmas special and the Judy Garland xmas special (on very fuzzy mid-sixties b/w video via YouTube).
And today I'm helping megan walker pick up her xmas tree. Ho ho ho!
