I need to be up early because my sibs & niblings are coming over for breakfast, so I'll just be on a social media fast until I have time for an hour alone with HBO. (Yeah I know what happens but I don't want to watch the entire ep through Instagram edits before I actually watch it for real.)
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda and her beau have come back up from their nap in the Garden Apartment.
I made them a lovely, rich, nourishing, soul-warming soup from the Thanksgiving stock and turkey pot roast leftovers.
Storm continues to roll in on tumultuous waves, so I've switched to hot cider with cognac and a few small Lavender/Lemon shortbread cookies.

Went to the gay bars here, which were hopping. Picked up a sweet older man who shared my love of Heated Rivalry and his husband, went to a different bar, was v amused by all the boys, came home and it’s not yet 8pm. Poor planning on my part—I’ve had a drink and now want to go to sleep.

First choice Chinese restaurant told us there would be a long wait for food, I think they had a private event monopolizing the kitchen, so we went to plan B - an Indian restaurant that had an offering on Too Good To Go so I was pretty sure it was open. Really good food, nice to add that to the pool of eateries near mom&dad.
If I don’t watch Heated Rivalry tonight I’ll be taunted by everyone’s reactions all day at work tomorrow. I don’t think I have to stay up that late to do it, though. Already looking forward to rewatching in binge mode

Dad reports ice packs and resting while watching football has been very therapeutic.

Our wings are not tired.
Our day after Christmas birthday Buffistas are Theodosia, Jesse, and Rayne. I hope they are all getting the birthday spoilage they deserve. May 2026 be all we hope for and more.

Happy Boxing Day and birthday happies!
Ostensibly working but that amounts to setting myself to "Active" on Slack and opening a tab for gmail for now. I have a giant cup of coffee to sip on while I figure out if there is something I actually should be doing...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My lazy day off today involves sleeping until 10, weeding out/cleaning off my skincare shelf in the bathroom, mini spa day with stuff from the skincare shelf, a little laundry, washing some dishes, breaking down Amazon boxes for recycling and getting them out of the house, and cleaning the bathroom. So, really, less of a lazy day than I had intended.
Dinner tonight will be our December 26 tradition of Indian takeout. Maybe we'll get around to watching Wake Up Dead Man.
