A Charlie Brown Christmas is on ABC right now! Um, EST anyway.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Since Lightbulbs isn't open, I will say Thank You to polgara here for my Xmas ornament. I love it, even though I am not a fan.
Also, I was walking through Sears...SEARS! of all places when I was stopped dead in my tracks by this song: [link]
I was immediately filled with Xmas spirit. We had this Capitol Xmas LP from the early 60s with that song on it (and many great songs.) and I haven't heard it in years!!

So my parents are apparently getting snowed on, hard. She referred to "a few" inches of snow. Around here, I'd say that was 5-7." There? I'm guessing 4" max.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jaysus, shrift. Stay safe. That's an order.
I just remembered something I *hope* was a dream. I was explaining to someone how Dick Grayson's Batman suit had different gauntlets from Bruce Wayne's. I hope I'm not saying shit like that in public.

Dear Buffista fashion hivemind: I am, for some reason, coveting a black wool riding/hacking/equestrienne blazer. eBay and Etsy have some interesting things, but I'm not done searching. Are there any catalogs I should be looking at?
(The J.Peterman catalog has almost the perfect one, but it's not black.)

SO proud and happy for her. I'm glad to see her aiming so high and getting so much support.

Well, Red Line service is still disrupted, and suspects are still barricaded. Since I was starving and didn't want to wait 30 minutes for the next bus, I took a taxi home. Roommate had no idea any of this was taking place less than a mile away.

TJ's speculoos vs Biscoff brand: TJ's has a more toasted, buttery flavor. Each are good in their own right, just subtly different. Will probably use TJs for the cookies, as it will hold up better against the intense lemon.
