Silly Hat!

Also, I made a silly hat. Now to try it out in the snow and see if it keeps the yetis away.

O Christmas Tree

We (Kathleen and I) got a Christmas tree! My first tree as "grown up". It is tacky as all get out, since we think good taste is too bourgeois or something. The tree is an actual tree made of tree (not plastic), the lights don't match, and it is covered in tinsel because we both had cats growing up and couldn't have tinsel. The ornaments are all either blue glass balls, or plastic dinosaurs from the kids' toy section with ornament hooks twisted around their necks. And there is an inflatable penguin on top.

Tonight I will endeavor to make strings of popcorn and cranberries and some paper chains.

lakmiseiru posted a meme. I repost it here, except I changed all the questions so they are Much Much cooler. And the rules. And the point.

Question the first
: What is the most interesting way you have referred to a sexual parter? (If it's "boyfriend" or "SO" or something, you lose points for boring.)

Question the second: If you were building a house, would you put in secret passages? Can you come up with something better?

Question the third: When was the first time you realized you'd never be precocious again?

Question the fourth: What is the best book you've read this year?

Question the fifth: What piece of media (book, film, music, etc.) are you most embarrassed about loving? (Mine is Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell album.)

Question the sixth: Tell me one weird fact about you. Weird is defined by your own preference, but I prefer you to interpret it as "something I wouldn't find out normally" rather than "look at me I'm a weirdo". (You're all weird. In a good way. I've moved on.)

(All questions that looked like unsubtle openings for sexual advances have been sacked.)

Question the seventh
: Most underrated holiday?

Question the eighth
: What is the sickest you've ever been? (chronic diseases count!)

Question the ninth: Favorite kind of cheese?

When answering these questions, put your answers out of order and possibly not in list form. You must also make up a tenth question and insert that answer somewhere.  To (badly) paraphrase David Ives, "Do you ever feel like life is a series of answers where you don't know the questions and possible everyone's just making them up as they go along anyway?" I thought so.

Cupcakes!

So a while ago I saw this. Then the other night I was bored and wanted baked goods, and, well:

Airports. Blargh.

We are stuck in the Baltimore airport. For suck. So we won't get into Seattle until 12:48am. Which is 3:48am east coast time. Which is really late. Bleh. I want to go home...
