It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

I'm beginning to look at smartphones: do you like it?

I've only had it since Friday so I'm still noodling around with it, but so far it's fast, has loads of space, powers on quickly, the screen's big, and the battery life is much better than I'm used to. It's sleek, and I like the front and back camera.

I think it's pretty user-friendly, but I've had Android smartphones for several years 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.

sara I am sorry your folks can't be there but I am really glad your mom is taking care of herself. That is really the most important thing.

I watched lighted up boats go down and up the river tonight! They were so decorated and cute. Friends with places right on the water are good to have. Especially when they have delicious food and drinks and new kittens to play with too.

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

So sorry to hear that about your mother and your Christmas, sara. I hope she recovers quickly.

Just watched all the TV in the world with bon, and introduced her to Jamaican style (mostly) egg nog, sorrel, and found some Christmas cake, which was delicious. I think it went well.

Now I just have to decide if I nap to kill time before the ER, or keep consuming the internet.

I also had nog tonight! I thought of Buffistas. It was tasty. I have no idea what style of nog it was or if it was good nog, but it tasted delicious.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That Christmas cake is the fucking bomb.

I suspect people who mock fruit cake roundly haven't tasted the same fruit cakes some of us have. Those things are tender of crumb and moist and flavourful.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

There is fruit cake, and then there is fruit cake. Prepackaged bricks or hockey pucks is nasty. Fresh, homemade (or at least made by a skillful person in a commercial setting) fruit cake is, indeed, a delight. It has been more than a decade since I had good fruit cake, and I'm too lazy to make it myself.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I haven't made fruitcake in a couple of years, what with my Novembers/Decembers being stressful this year and last. Next year, maybe.

Hubby prefers fruit cake the way his grandfather made it--in a glass mason jar surrounded by flammable clear liquid.

We are lighting the advent candle in church this morning and mac has already picked one fight with me. Let's pray from a smooth lighting and no tantrums or fire mishaps.
