I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

There's a fair amount of Hannukah decorations available here in B'more. I snatch up the wrapping paper, because SILVER! BLUES! NO SANTAS.

I can get stamps at the ATM. Why this is a revelation to me, I don't know.

I have a test pattern with a clock instead of Bones.

Insulin prices have really increased in 7 years. I was paying $30-35 when this all started, now it's $65 a vial. And it's just standard Humilin N, which isn't fancypants or anything.

Have Bones now.

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

I have moved from Nutella to some chestnut paste in a tube that I got when Nicole and DH were in town. OMNOMNOMNOM. I've been putting it on digestives, but honestly, I kinda want to just squirt it directly into my mouth.

I opened the tube I bought on the drive home. And, um, squirted it directly into my mouth. Nom. Now I keep hiding it from myself. It works for a few days. Then I find it and eat more.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I do not like nutella. The smell of it makes me feel like vomiting. Weirdly, I used to think it was good.

Because books.

I've never had Nutella, but my guess is I wouldn't like it much.

We just caught the original Grinch on Cartoon Network. Christmas can now begin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nutella is very tasty. Listen not to the haters. And I'm not a big nut person--I think hazelnut flavoured coffee creamer is the work of the anti-Christ.

Ended up reserving a room at the Courtyard Mariott. My sister did actually consider the hostel, but the one near the wedding was both pretty expensive and sold out anyway.

Haven't booked my airplane ticket yet. It's not that I don't have faith in the happy couple...just, it's a bit fucked up with the secret keeping. But! It will happen. I should just buy my ticket.

How long are you going to be in NYC, ita?

Before you could really find it in stores, my german exchange student brought us 2 jars of Nutella when she came. OMG. My mom and I kept it in the fridge and slowly chipped away at it for ages. It was a couple years before we were able to find it in a store in El Paso that catered to the German soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss.

OMG, Loki just crossed a LINE. He was nuzzling my hair (chlorine obsession) and then he was shoving his nose into my ear and the HE STUCK HIS TONGUE IN MY EAR. AIIIIIEEEEEEE!

Two nights. I haven't decided when to fly out yet. I guess I could fly overnight and have the whole day.
