Because books.

I loved Skyfall, and ever since I saw Spectre I've been dying to see it again. Have not seen Mockingjay, but I also feel like I'm sort of over the movies and would rather reread the books.

There's always Jessica Jones, too.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I've talked Terry and Gabe into watching Attack the Block later, so I'm excited about that. Right now, I'm introducing them to Veronica Mars.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well in that case I change my recommendation, Amy. Skyfall it is! I haven't heard anyone say that Mockingjay is a must-see.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'd like to finish up S2 of Fargo tonight, but I don't think I can talk TCG into 4 episodes in one night. He's not really into mainlining TV shows.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, poor sickos! I'm just vaguely out of sorts.

And I got the ingredients for Moscow Mules, although that was as much an excuse to indulge my fondness for copper (post-Christmas half off mugs).

Ooh, I need to see if I can find some of those mugs on sale. They would be so cute on my bar cart!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just finished catching up on the Hunger Games movies day before yesterday (I realized on Sunday that I had somehow never seen even the first one), kind of on the theory that I would see the one that's out now while it's still in the theater, but I don't know if that will happen. It could!

Haven't seen Skyfall yet, either, should probably do that at some point.

I dig the copper mugs but I don't so much like the actual drink. It'd be fine if someone handed me one, or it was Moscow Mule night at wherever, but I don't see me making one for myself at home. I'll have to indulge my copper desires with other vessels. Anyway, I think I've seen them for not a whole lot at Cost Plus?

I'll head over to my neighbor's just a bit before midnight, with cookies. And then we'll squelch out into the field (it's a bog right now. Oh, did I mention a cop car got stuck in it? I don't know why) to watch the city fireworks.

And then I'll check Twitter to see how the protests went.

I just watched Kingsman, and now it's time for New Year's Steve, and then bed.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Boy, I feel like I should be sacrificing a small creature of some sort in thanks that I've only had some congestion so far this winter.

Chickens are traditional.

Wow, I could turn in now. Four more hours with drinks are gonna be a stretch.

So I'm a nutball.

Brian told me tonight the house across the street finally sold to homeowners. Lights were on, door open, so I took them cookies and introduced myself. Young pregnant couple, friends with marc&sarah up the street, cute little black dog.They're excited about the house, just been in 10 days. Gave 'em the tip you can see fireworks from the field.
