I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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

Apparently the Bills are playing somewhere.

They beat the Bears, in Chicago. I don't usually watch but I thought it would be useful to know when the Chiefs game ended (which my family would be watching) and the the Bears-vs-Bills was the game available to me.

I'm making kinda random foods. Cranberry muffins are done and a butternut squash and kale side dish is in the oven. Tomorrow I'll make a sweet potato, carrot, apple, and red lentil soup.

I've watched The Woman King and Everything Everywhere all at Once over the last two evenings. I'm deciding between Glass Onion and Top Gun- Maverick for this evening.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If you're in the mood for mindless, exciting, slickly produced and well executed propaganda, go Top Gun. If you're in the mood for a twisty movie that's in love with its own cleverness (and it definitely is that clever), go Glass Onion.

Also, Glass Onion has Janelle Monae, and Top Gun does not.

Thrive to spite them

I got the Oct date when I looked. I can't remember how long I've been on the board. I know since TT.

I'm currently at M's brother's from Xmas Eve.

We have no Internet. The whole town is lacking Spectrum and from what I can tell this is an issue in multiple states. Luckily we haven't lost power or cell service.

Heh, Glass Onion it is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(Fuck you, Deshaun Watson.)

So much so.

Our Christmas Eve plans fell through so it’s happily a snuggle on the couch watching football day. And since it’s Christmas Eve and will be an early night, I’ve even opened the wine. Naps might follow rather inevitably.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We’re going to watch the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special and the S1 finale of Stranger Things after ltc goes to bed. Right now we’re all snuggled on the couch watching Holiday Baking Championship.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We ordered from a local pizza place for dinner.(Limited number of places open.) Picked it up, brought it home only to discover they forgot my spinach lasagne. They remembered the side salad and the garlic knots, and the stuff for Gary and Mr. S, but not my lasagne. Called them back and had them take it off my bill.(They screwed up that too, and had to get my card number again.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

As we have done in the past, when reminiscing, I think my delurking was on TT 5x5

I delurked in TT Buffy 2. And the first thing I said was a spoiler and the first response to me was Dana saying, "My eyes! My eyes!"

So that was a good start.

At the time I was in a pack of Undifferentiated Davids which is why I became Hecubus and Knut became Difficult.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

As for many of the best things in my life, I blame Eli. Heavens, that was a long time ago.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, David, you made up for the spoiler reveal by totally lying to me when I was accidentally spoiled for Tara’s death by IMDB. You almost saved hat one for me (I just really don’ like Seeing Red anyway, but at least I thought Tara might live).

I was thinking about how I am normally the type of person who does not care about spoilers- in fact, I often read the end of the book first, just to make sure. (I had to skip a WHOLE BUNCH of Deathly Hallows because I NEEDED to find out what happened to Neville and if he was OK). I think I just enjoyed talking theories with everyone here so much, I didn’t want to be influenced.

I also watched a podcast on The Body today (it was on YouTube, so I am not sure what makes it a podcast and not a reaction video), and I was reliving again how deeply dumb I was to not have seen Buffy as a Christ figure dying and being reborn at the end of season five.
