I have no idea! The name situation is megan walker-style, where I knew him with a very specific ethnic name, but he's on facebook with a very generic name.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.
'Ariel'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Is it too soon to buy a wreath for my door? Will it totally dry out and fall apart in a month?

Good lord -- the mystery childhood friend wrote back, and he's "retired" from financial services, and living in Shanghai. Bananas!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. Sleepless night. I'm exhausted but not sleepy. Today promises to be very long.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I saw some GORGEOUS wreathes on etsy the other day.

I just need the real greens, since my tree is fake. I stick my nose in the wreath!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm feeling in very rarified company, tv-tech-wise. We had the space, we had, for a brief window, the disposable income, and there was a sale, so we wound up with the 1080i 47" Samsung LCD, and the home theater speaker-bridge thing that matches. And, even though (blasphmemy!) we don't game, we got a PS3, on Pete's rec, to play blu-ray dvds.
We even got the black glass and "wood" stand that holds the screen up in the air and swivels. It's our room divider between the comfy seating and Outer Mongolia.
We left the artificial wreaths and lighted garland with teh son, since they've been used at the NC house for lo, these many years. We'll do something different for the new house. I doubt we do a tree this year, unless it's wee. Something, though. I have my half-basket of silk ivy for the door, if I can find real holly with berries to tuck in.

Did you read about the screenwriter that said he was tweeting from jail that got busted and actually put in jail because he was apparently just on a work furlough program? Seems Gaiman and Ebert were retweeting him. Assuming it's him, of course. I'm not sure why he thinks he'd have a First Amendment right to freaking tweet from jail. Or why Gawker thinks it has anything to do with A Clockwork Orange.

Apparently the only tree available at cut your own places in GA is the Leyland Cypress. Which may be a very nice tree, but is not (IMO) actually a Christmas Tree. Sigh. I'm looking at mail ordering a balsam fir from WVa.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Residents of Axedale, Australia called authorities when they smelled what they believed to be a gas leak. Firefighters responded to the home and found a 120 kilogram pet pig, which they believe to be the source of the gas.
“She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted,” said fire chief Peter Harkins.
“I haven’t heard too many pigs fart but I would describe it as very full-on.”
Mr Harkins said the family had done the right thing by calling 000 to report a suspected gas leak: “It’s all bottled gas up here and a leaking cylinder could pose a major fire risk.
“It was because we took it so seriously that 15 volunteers still managed to attend the call out at 10.30 on Tuesday night.”
The pig’s owners are embarrassed over the incident and refused to let the pig be photographed.
