Bitches don't know bout dat jelly.
They don't.
"True story, I came when I read Scrye's story, and so did everyone within five miles." —OOZEIt's been a good day.
I got first-hand proof of the value of making friends with your butcher. The prime rib was meltingly tender and perfectly done — rare but not bloody. The dog and the cat were mooching for all they were worth and by the time we were done eating every living thing in the house was lapsing into a food-stupor. Then we watched The Librarian and The Librarian 2. I'm not sure how I missed them the first time around, but oh, so funny.
My niece just called from Seattle; we had a nice chat and sis is talking to her son-in-law now.
Wow, I'm not the only person in the world who has seen The Librarian! But that was a long time ago.
whoever wrote this shit needs to step on a rake in a comedic fashionThe way my family celebrates Christmas is we spend Christmas eve with my father's parents and sister's family, and the day with my mother's sister's family.
My mid-20-something cousin got married two years ago, and last night was, like, the third time I've spent any time with his wife. It was the first time I eventually felt like we were a cohesive group and not "our family and a complete stranger." We loosened up over dinner and about half the time after that I felt like she was being genuinely friendly and not "my husband's family" friendly.
Okay, that's not a very good way to phrase it. She's a friendly person in general, it's just that the friendliness my direction has been mostly indirect or...
This is why I haven't talked about it with other family members. Anyway, we got along smoothly starting sometime over the course of dinner.
Earlier in the night, before dinner, I thought there was an opening to get to know each other better when my cousin came into the living room when it was just me in there, and started a conversation about Doctor Who. He said that the two of them had been watching together, so I hoped when she entered the room that she would join in the discussion too, but she didn't. Ah well.
And then today my mid-teens cousin tackled me from behind while I was lifting my cup to take a drink, and I got a facefull of milk. The other half of the cup I then tossed over my shoulder in an attempt at revenge. I realized it was a bad idea about halfway through the swing.
Fresh-eyed movie blogAt least it was milk and not hot coffee.
I made a thread asking for Christmas present suggestions and I took the advice of a couple of the respondents and got Mr. blackcat a couple of Cincinnati Reds hats and a CD by the band Clutch. There were also books, a journal thing, and some tools that he has been hinting around about.
My family is tomorrow. We do a lottery/white elephant/chaos theory thing that involves throwing wrapped presents around the room and no one knowing what anyone else got. This is a deeply rooted act of rebellion against that one person who always wanted people to unwrap presents one at a time so everyone could see what everyone else got. This just didn't work with my brothers and sisters. Too impatient to get on to the next thing to put up with all this sitting around.
I've suddenly become obsessed with the color violet. Not purple, violet.

Got back. THE PARTY WAS FUN!! We had a huge feast and watched a few movies. Toy Story 3 and Inception. We all had a blast during Toy Story 3, uttering profanities and throwing things at the screen when Lotso left the other toys for dead. In retrospect, it was pretty funny. Though there was an argument over Inception about the ending. All in all, it was pretty fun.

"True story, I came when I read Scrye's story, and so did everyone within five miles." —OOZEI didn't mean it.
"True story, I came when I read Scrye's story, and so did everyone within five miles." —OOZEI spent the day making cordials with my girlfriend...we made (or tried to make) Kahlua (it didn't turn out anything remotely similar but it is delicious) and a variant on Southern Comfort (which is so far also delicious but needs to sit for a few weeks).
Now, I'm sipping on Glenlivet and giving my much-neglected novel some love. After devouring two pulled-pork burgers...did I mention my GF is a damn fine cook?
If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~Ahh don't be grumpy blackcat its sunday a day to relax a little before the week fires back up. Some one tell a clever joke.
I am feeling a bit better I went to bed early and slept in a little bit. This is my last 12 hour shift for a while. The skies are clear and had some very fluffy snow with well defined flakes last night.
Who watches the watchmen?
