'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I fear the snowstorm may mess with my travel plans.
So I got a Kindle for Xmas. I don't actually have it...it was backordered, but it was totally unexpected. I'll have to figure out sources for books. Were people talking about them in literary or tech?
In Lit, Sue.
I can't believe we're supposed to get all this snow tomorrow. At least we have lots of food left over and nowhere to go!
I forgot to take any food from my parents'! Hmph. I'd better go grocery shopping in the morning.
Traditional Jewish Christmas. Only this year our little hick town actually had an open Chinese Xmas, so we actually went out instead of eating takeout bought yesterday. Olympia is starting to grow up. snif. snif.
Also I agree with the conventional wisdom that "True Grit" is a first rate movie.
We did Jewish Christmas kind of backwards. We had dim sum for lunch, then watched DVDs at home, and then had Italian food for dinner, from an Italian restaurant that was open for some reason.
Yeah, another bugaboo is I was planning on using Monday to grocery shop. Yeah, nsm, IF I make it home. Plenty of Indian tv dinners in the freezer, at least. Maybe I should rebook now, but...I'm willing to take the risk. Oops, I have to stay on vacation longer and I have the hours?
Yeah, if I were you, I would totally rebook now and save myself the hassle.
CJ is at his dad's. Kelly and I went out to see Love and Other Drugs, then she took me out to sushi dinner. NOM!
Flights in the middle of the day are cancelled, but mine are still on (kinda makes sense, since the snow should have let up by then.) I don't mind the extra time here, really. Of all places to be stuck, with my brother, SIL and nephews? Yeah, no big. And since my catsitters are all local, it is for once something I don't worry about.
Happy Christmas!
I am down one laptop, apparently, and miserable about it.
Still, it's good to be home, even if I'm completely useless. Turned out we didn't go out for Christmas dinner, but my mother cooked up a storm (pictures at some point, once I work out which computer does what around here) and I am totally full. And will be forever.
Tomorrow morning we head out for the North Coast, to spend a few days at the beach.
Without my laptop...sniff. I had a neurotically codependent relationship with it. I hope it can be repaired, or resuscitates itself overnight magically.
