But I am not actually doing anything so I don't deserve to feel smug.
Showing up is 90 percent.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, I've bought all my Dad's Christmas presents already, but now the complete series of The Wire is today's Gold Box deal at Amazon, and that was on his wish list. So I'm torn.
By the way, the complete series of The Wire is today's Gold Box deal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And...I found a batch of other crap-level SD cards. Grr. Best Buy twice in one day, on top of a visit to Fry's. I'm a masochist.
But! Last meeting is complete. I just have to email out some project info, and I'm done for the YEAR.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Kathy, I have been you. Sugar addiction is like any other. How much did you drink? All of it. How many cookies did you eat? All of them.
I'm glad this solution is working for you!

I love washing all my Justice League shirts together. Now GL, Supes, Bats, and Flash are all hanging up to dry side by side.
I almost feel bad Wonder Woman got left out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, it's a Buffista Christmas miracle. I was cranky, but put on a tape from David and an apron from megan, and made scones, which I cut with cookie cutters I got from Ginger (? if not, oops, sorry), and I'm feeling Much Better about everything.
In weight news, I was amused to learn at the doctor yesterday that I am almost exactly the weight I was for years, before I gained some, lost a bunch, and gained back. Yep, I guess this is the size I am.

I think I read a story like that once.

Thank you for reminding me that Big Bang Theory is on tonight.

There's a reason I did something like 10 batches of those cookies. And the batch I made here was just a PIA to work with. Dough was crumblier than usual (I'm blaming either smaller egg or warmer kitchen or the chocolate being different) and I couldn't get the edges pinched shut neatly. Ehn.
I would think that you could just put a dollop of the dulce on top, openfaced, and leave it at that, or bake half with dulce and half not and sandwich them after.
Spent the morning playing frisbee badly with my brother and nephews and then accompanying them to a couple stores, one of which was the Bass Company store or something and was kinda awesome. I have to say, the hunting sections of sporting goods stores in Alabama border on insane. And they hustle you at the gun counter, even if you are just walking past. I'm just not used to hearing"Yeah, I want to get my wife a gun for Xmas" as normal store fare.
I am still impressed at the sheer rage and persistence of 3.5 year old tantrums. You'd think the world was ending.
Company coming over soon.
