It's been years since I had a job where I actually got the holidays off--damn you, 24-hour tech support--and the only reason I'm getting Christmas off is because I normally work Sundays. New Year's is hte only other guaranteed day off. Yes, we will be fully staffed on the Monday after Christmas, never mind the rest of this week.

Always Anti-fascist!
I like CK's standup, but the show depresses me somehow. I guess I'm willing to have a comic say things that I don't want to see acted out(except "Curb Your Enthusiasm", I guess. I especially love all the rude crippled people that appear to be a Larry David staple.)

Cost Plus World Market has this stuff called Christmas Crunch that is like crack. Caramel popcorn, chocolate covered nuts, and cinnamon-candy-coated cherries. OMG, soooo good!

I'm going to be making a batch of cocoa nib & pink peppercorn caramel corn. It is SO GOOD.

Oh, random anecdote! So yesterday I went to get the rescheduled FACE LASERS. Of course, I hadn't heard from them, so I called in the morning, and they were all "Oh, you're not on the schedule!" Oy. They squeezed me in for later in the day. I get there at the time they tell me, wait half an hour, finally ask WTF the deal is...they felt bad and gave me a $25 gift card. And eventually FACE LASERS.
While the lasering was going on, I asked what else they did (it was a groupon) and how much roughly it costs. And she starts saying how much more face lasers would be, or some peels...or botox is $13 a vial(tube? something). And I was like "I don't think I need botox" and she was all "Well, your forehead is smooth, I thought maybe you were already using it". I'm all "OMG HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does this mean that your face can shoot lasers now? That is so cool!

Hah! That *would* be awesome, Tom. Lasers shot at my face (AT MY FAAAACE) is not quite as exciting. Though at least this time I did not cry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lot of people have lines on their forehead by 30, meara! And you know the recommendation is to start with the botox before there are lines.... "recommendation"
I keep almost buying groupons for facials for no apparent reason -- I have had one facial in my life, and didn't care about it! At least I have gotten myself to hold out for one in my neighborhood.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would use botox to erase the lines on my forehead, but I keep getting stuck on the part where it's a deadly poison and if the needle isn't in exactly the right place my face could be paralyzed forever. Then I think, maybe having expression lines is okay. I mean, I'm vain, but I'm also chickenshit.
I had the face laser twice - or, no, it was IPL, so, not really a laser, I guess - but I didn't see any difference. I was told I'd need to have it at least four times. But they were expensive, so I didn't.
