Ooh, I think I'll do some shredding tomorrow. YAY SHREDDING.
I was at a party tonight where the shtick is to bring your worst present and then they get redistributed. I got a travel beauty kit thing (clippers, makeup brushes, etc.), in a glittery purple case, and I genuinely LOVE IT. And can totally imagine the person who got it originally thinking WTF. So that was good. I mostly talked to people I already know, but hadn't seen in a million years. And my parents some. (The party was thrown by family friends.) I sort of feel like I need to re-learn how to talk to strangers, but generally it was good. Yay socialibility.
And I am still boggling over Sophia's "passing"/pork chops/etc. found comment.

That is the brilliant thing about exchanges: you get rid of crap and someone gets something awesome. Doesn't really matter that it's the same item.
I really like coconut milk and sweet potatoes together. And apples sound like a good option.
I have marked that recipe because it sounds amazing. Yum.
On a non-packing note, remember these: [link]
I have that very one on my dresser mirror.
I went out and was social tonight, twice! I went to another local YA author/potential friend's book launch, which must have been attended by roughly 200 people, got super depressed, and then went BACK out to the after party to talk to other writer types, and have a beer. I'm glad I did.
I also learned probably sixty or more of the people at the launch were family, so I feel a little better about that. Plus, she wrote an awesome book, and deserves all her success. It's called Cracked/

Truth. There was some real crap floating around as well, but on the whole a lot of pleasantly surprised people, I think.
me too! that looks really good
Martin Freeman just swore at Graham Norton. It was delightful.
"Fuck you...I won a BAFTA."
He's so dry. And I love his hairstyle. He's got sideburns right down to the bottom of his jaw, plus the hair is gelled in sort of a singery sort of way. Adorbs.
I had a tasty drink and a nice glass of wine (and dinner) and a shmooze with my friend E, who is going to a conference tomorrow where she will be wined and dined by vendors for most of the week. I'm a bit jealous, since I get to spend the next week with three hairy dogs who won't let me sleep later than 6:30 AM.
The puppy has figured out that when I call her she ends up in the crate, so now she won't come when I call. Sneakky little thing.
I am watching Werner Herzog's documentary about prehistoric cave art on Netflix streaming. Pretty cool.
