Thank you kindly, Shrift & Aurelia. We're definitely staying put for the holidays, as are T's parents. Just planning to wave over zoom at everyone.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
On one hand, I just lost the LDB game. OTOH, it was Grace Jones singing it on the Pee-wee Herman holiday special, so it was the coolest way possible.

I lost it to Christopher Lee's heavy metal version.

Okay, fine, the *second* coolest way.

In nice news, the baby panda takes his first steps. Wobbly, but walking.

What is even happening?

Did I get you here, Toddson? I don't recall hearing it, before the day I posted it here.
LDB is on my favorite Christmas album [link] -- the one we always put on when we're decorating the tree. We did ours the day after Thanksgiving this year (super early for us -- but I needed lights and good cheer), so I LDBed myself, really.

Cindy, I think so ... it was a fairly painless experience.
In other "yes, it's STILL 2020" news, a trailer for a mini movie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hi!
I fell behind enough sometime in November to be perpetually a week behind in here ever since and just caught up. I'm so excited to be able to share my mundane thoughts throughout the day again! Have been sendin ~ma and sympathizing and occasionally cheering from my time-shifted lurkerdom, of course

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Apparently Johnson&Johnson is running trials on their vaccine here. I think theirs is single dose. I'm wondering about seeing if I can get in on that. I haven't yet had a chance to read up on this version though.
