I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

With fear in my heart, I hit Costco today and there was lots of parking and shorter than normal lines.

My grocery store wasn't crowded, but once I got about halfway through my list, I realized it was because they were basically out of everything. Combination of Christmas + Sunday + panicky blizzard shoppers = empty shelves. I was able to get everything I needed for dinner tomorrow, but just barely!

Our wings are not tired.

Has anyone ever ordered from TVMania and then had to return? My brothers had a mutual moment of geekasm and ordered Two Guys and a Girl for themselves and each other and need to return the spare copies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice! Thanks, javachik. I am in the chat now, so we'll see.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, all! Home finally, since Thursday -- will be so happy to sleep in my own bed tonight, and wander around without a bra.

Not to mention smoking in my nightgown in MY OFFICE and not in the freezing bloody north Iowa cold.

Traveling was ok, thank god, unlike last year. We got to see my mom and dad and sister today for the whole afternoon, instead of a driveby like last year. My mom and sister totally hit everything out of the park for D and M -- geekery and dinosaurs abounded.

Me, I got a big bottle of Chanel Allure, which I've been out of for almost two years, and a waffle iron, among assorted other things.

My in-laws? Got me a fuckin' KitchenAid standing mixer! How rock star is that? I will have that thing till I am 100. I can't wait to bake some shit. Who wants to come have a baking party with me?!

ETA:

And dur, Happy Birthdays to Jesse, Theo and Rayne!!!!

Ooh, nice Xmas!

So, Comcast is literally my only non-dish option, apparently, so they don't give a shit.

Rockstar, indeed. Good in-laws, every homemade biscuit!

Technically, it was a combo present for D and I, but I will use it and he will reap the rewards.

D got me one of those Shark steam mops, which sounds terribly unromantic, but warms the cockles of my Virgo heart. We have all hardwood and 5 pets, and this thing dries immediately. We also got some money, and we are seriously thinking Kindle.

You have to call on the phone to actually cancel, so maybe those folks would make me a better offer, but meh. Stupid monopolies.
