Whew. Friend who came to dinner did not get ill, so I will blame it on the migraine. And will eat the leftovers.
I did midnight shopping the first year I was out here in Seattle...it was insane, and not that big a bargain. I have never since.
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Leftover stuffing = best breakfast ever. Kids are now consuming the last of the Satsumas, so I'll need to go out to buy more.
DH is going to butterfly and grill a turkey this weekend
That's pretty bad ass.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have shopped. Only 3 stores and nothing too crazy. Lunch of leftovers = win. Now going to set up a playdate for mac and get a list of chores done at the house. Tomorrow I really want to do some Christmas decorating and some sewing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hec, have you seen these Emma Thompson pictures?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
She's so gorgeous anyway, I knew she'd be gorgeous without hair. She has nice hair, though.
Yay for halfway, perkins! That's an important milestone.
Quick recovery wished to Khusband. (Nilly!)
And Happy Birthday to DJ, wherever you are (still in India?)
Not going anywhere near retail today. I have cleaning and reading to do. And a dvr to clear. I'm good.

Mmmm, that's when she was growing her hair out from doing Wit.
Thanks! (You know she shaved her head when she was in college too. Sniff, she's so perfect.)
Let me take a second to pimp the HBO version of Angels in America for anyone who hasn't seen it. She's a super sexy angel.
She's also quite sexy in one of her earliest film roles, The Tall Guy. (Another short hair era for her.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know, I have very few celebrity crushes but Emma is probably my current fav.
The only other ones I remember were: Aly Hannigan (Buffy era only, though), Debra Winger and Suzanne Pleshette.

Little Thompson movie I love, The Winter Guest. Her mother, Phyllida Law, plays her mom, Sean Biggerstaff has a nice juvenile role, and it's extremely atmospheric, with an amazing quality of light. Directed by Alan Rickman.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emma in the Winter Guest - a little darker hair for her than usual. But a length I like.
A fetching, fair Emma in The Tall Guy sexing it up with Jeff Goldblum.
...and a red-headed Emma to complete the set.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I tried to get a drop-in haircut at the mall. The hairdresser said sure, come back in a half-hour. I did, and she said 10 minutes, so I sat and skimmed slowly through an issue of People. When it reached 20 minutes, and she was discussing with the woman ahead of me whether they should color it in addition to cutting, I silently got up and left without a word. Maybe she expected another hairdresser to have shown up by then, I dunno, but lousy customer service deserves some passive-aggressive action?
