To keep the cobwebs at bay whilst I recover from the holiday, I conform to friends and their ways:
WARNING
this is a bit racey! Sheesh..the company I keep...
1. Name one thing you got for Christmas that you wanted to throw back at the person that gave it to you.
A free pamphlet of Schlotzsky's "Coupons" (Mind you, not REAL coupons..just a gimme booklet of 10 cents off here and there you can pick up off a counter) This was a couple Crimmuses ago, but noteworthy nonetheless.
2. Make up an acronym for BNA.
Bitches Not Allowed!
3. What is your current middle name and if you could change it what would it be?
Phred and I like it. It's me.
4. Which do you prefer? Thickness or length?
Oh dear. This is a left-fielder. In steaks? Thickness. In plot depth for a good movie? Thickness. In reinforced kevlar armor? Thickness. In the way you gutter-butts are thinking? Nunya...though there is a pattern in the answers.
5. Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
Did I like everything I got? Yes! Did I get what I want the most? Not yet. He comes home Wednesday.
6. On New Year's Eve at midnight will you be kissing a certain someone, any stranger that is willing, or making love to the desert cart in your pajamas?
Actually, I stood there with a flute of White Star and sneered at the TV because they were early according to every watch, clock and time display for miles thus dropping the ball before we were watching.
7. Would you humiliate yourself for others enjoyment in the name of fun?
Of course! I've done it many times before: Hosted for AoL, joined a ridiculous guild in an online game, befriended Melonie, etc.
8. When people trip and fall do you point and laugh or feel bad for them and help?
I usually I'll suck in air through clenched teeth while wincing and mutter "oooo that'll bruise tomorrow". Unless, of course, I'm the one doing the tripping. Then it's a sly smile followed by "Schucks. That'll bruise tomorrow...bitch."
9. Low Rise Jeans on men... Hideously Ugly or Fashionably Chic?
Refer to fiasco that was men in daisy dukes. Um...ew.
10. What did you want for Christmas that you didn't get (other than World Peace)?
Christian Bale, Gina Gershon, Ray Park, Rick Yune, Eric Mabius, Eduardo Verastegui and Cillian Murphy pulling a sleigh with Billy Campbell
11. Do you want children someday? If so, why. If not, why not?
I have enough without needing those things nipping at my heels.
12. Which type of man do you usually end up dating? Smartass or Dumbass?
In the past? All dumbasses really. This one, the keeper, he's neither. Though I am working on igniting a little smartass in him.
13. Why are men so @#!*%$ stupid?
Because they have to deal with women. Sorry, I'm an equal-opportunity gender basher
14. What brings you to your knees?
There are a lot of things. John, dropped change and Jeff Gillooly. WHHHYYYYYYYYYY..WHHHHYYYYYYYY??!!
15. Name a line from a song that at this moment 'speaks to you'.
"I'm unique in the respect that I'm not U"
16. Quote the first movie line that comes to mind and let me see if I can guess the movie.
"Try the cock, Albert. It's a delicacy"
17. What is it with Hispanic gay guys and the plucked eye brows? Someone has to know this secret.
Well, they're gay right....and you've seen the hispanic hoochie-mama's with the gelled-out spiralled hair and dark-lined lips right? The eyebrows are identical between the two...so there you go.
18. Make up a word and then define it.
Cunnihilate: The verb form of cunnilingus. Well?! There wasn't one!
19. When it comes to sex, what are you best at (in your opinion... the rest of your town will be polled later for verification purposes)?
Oh definitely the brainwashing part. I'm an excellent speaker and I can sway many a crowd with passionate speeches about the universe and why we're all here. I can instill spiritual meaning in a gatheri--
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sex, not Sects! Well then, you'll have to ask John that question.

Yeah, Yeah... I know.
So it's been a while. Things have been quite hectic since last I blogged. We had to get ready for Thanksgiving and company. John came home and while he was home a plethora of things to get done took most of our time. Insurance adjusters, shopping, making phone calls to check on Licenses, warranties, defective DVD players, writing out and mailing upteen bajillion christmas cards, you name it. Our time was pretty much sucked up like you wouldn't believe. Needless to say, I haven't had the time nor the energy to really sit down and write. So I'm sure you, precious readers, understand. I'm sure once this holiday season is gone I'll sit down and blog my ass off.

"if you move, I strike, and if you do not move I strike..."
The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
believed to reside in groups apart from normal
humans, and many legends tell of their secret
cities hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
or underwater. In many tales, the Naga is often
of royal lineage or sometimes even divinity.
Nagas are often associated with water, and it
is said that they can control the weather.
As a Naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
things in life and like to be pampered, and
you're not too keen on mixing and mingling with
the unwashed masses.
Who is your inner Shapeshifter?

Links updated. Some broken, but now fixed. Some thankfully removed. I love exorcisms!
Cleaning in the real world isn't as much fun however. Though it's mostly done, I need to hit the garage and organize organize organize. We'll be sending a lot of things to Good Will and the Salvation Army once John comes home this month. It will be so nice to have al the extra room to store away other items.
Preparations for Turkey Day are underway. It looks like we'll have unexpected guests for the holiday, but good ones thankfully. Heather and Wylliam will be joining us for the weekend! Josh will be here and Georgiffer as well. I think Jennifer and I have decided to collaborate on Chicken vol-au-vent which is a wonderful recipe I've made a couple times in the last decade. This time though, Jennifer will be supplying her superior dough-manipulating powers to create homemade bread bowls for the sauced chicken. Mmmmm! This is going to be fun! I'm currently trying to convince our DC familial extension to come down to join in the festivities, but he may be too tight :( Oh well...he might be coming for our post-Crimmus Crimmus.

Happy Belated Blogday!
Wow, I just realized that in October I hit my first year on this blog! It went by so fast! I never really thought I'd get into the swing of this, but apparently I actually do enjoy it. Thanks to Jane for introducing me to this addiction. Oh yes, and thank you to her wife for my Chai addiction. So, in honor of a somewhat tradition set down by the Lowford-Crawers duo, have a Chai Latte and a carefully stacked Biscotti "cake" in celebration of my first year being blogilicious.

Waiting, Weaning and Cleaning
Music at the moment - Angelina "I Don't Need Your Love" (Pop Spanglish Edit)
The adjuster finally left a message with me the other night. Thus begins the game of tag. I left voicemail for him and am nigh-patiently waiting for him to call back so we can make an appointment. We shall see.
The day here is overcast and I think sort of cool, though I haven't been outside yet. Currently I'm sitting down for a sandwich. I hate making food in the kitchen now. Inevitably when I enter the kitchen my eyes are drawn to my tree to begin an interlude of mind-cleansing zoning. Alas, the tree is history and as soon as I realize that I return to my business a bit more sullen than before. That sucks. I need to find something else to look at out our windows and appreciate. Unfortunately all that surrounds us are houses, ugly trees that are not the one I liked so much and evil people that I'd much rather look at through crosshairs. Maybe I'll install a plasma screen TV on one of the trees outside so when I look at the window in the kitchen I have something to watch. With my luck it would only pick up that "fair and balanced" Fox News channel. Yeah, farily full of shit and a daily balance of nutritious hatred.
Music switch - Army of Lovers "Crucified" (Technostalgia Mix)
The upper tier of the house has been scrutinized for cleaning over this week and suprisingly, it's almost done already! Myshe's room is 300% better than it was, though she still needs to have a massive yard sale or just express her good will to good will. I dusted everything in our room last night, folded clothes, rearranged both closets and organized them with little shoes all in a row. Boxes unpacked, boxes repacked and stored away. I still have 5 boxes of cassettes I need to transfer to MP3 format before they disintegrate.
The stuff you find when deep cleaning! I found so many little sentimental things, postcards, letters, trinkets. I smiled at each thing for a moment upon finding it. THEN it was in the trash. Boom. I'm so ready to do the Edina Monsoon minimalist thing.
Music switch - Five "When The Lights Go Out" (Album Version)
Today I continued with the cleaning and broke out the new Dyson DC14 Animal! dun dun DUN! We'd needed a new vacuum cleaner so I went browsing. I'd read up on the Dyson among some other models when we started talking about a new one and then Myshe and I saw it while out one day. The DC7 I believe, it was an ugly yellow and gray. Ew. The one we have now is black and yellow and frankly I'm sick of vacuuming with a bumblebee. I wasn't prepared to invest in another yellow monstrosity. Then a light erupted to our left and what I can only assume to be a chorus of angels began to sing. Looking over there it was. The New Improved Dyson DC14 model made specifically for animal hair and allergy sufferers. My eyes widened as I read the specs on it and a tear fell from my cheek as I looked over its beautiful PURPLE frame. Hehehehe purple. SOLD!
Music switch - For Real "Like I do" (Album version)
Unpacked and assembled the thing is a juggernaut. I can't decide whether to vacuum with it, insert batteries and give it to Myshe to play with or to slot it with a lot of accuracy and damage enhancements. But dammit, it's purple! And wow...it works really nice! Animal hair step aside. Kitty and Julio, you are thwarted! I like my new one-hosed, non-bagged, sucking, purple, kitty cleaner. You can sing that if you're alone while reading this you know.
Music switch - Max-A-Million "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" (S.O.S. Band Cover)
Once everything up here is clean I'm going to finish a project that's been on hold since I moved the desk upstairs. I started it again last night as I cleaned. Phred, Muscial Multitasker Supreme. I'm taking the multitude of CD singles or full CDs with a couple songs on them and ripping them all to the other computer. Once I'm done I'll make a stack of MP3 CDs with all the singles on them and then pack away the boxes of singles I ripped. It's CD population control. As I move closer to 2000 CDs our shelf room is becoming dangerously non-existent. You can probably tell from the music in this blog. I'm currently in a lot of my 90's dance. Good stuff!
Music switch - Gillette "Short Dick Man"
Okay sandwich done and imaginary cigarette smoked. (Damn I miss smoking) Back to the grind and the hopes that the pet girl will show up at the door with Chai in hand for a job well done. Ciao!
Ending music - Merrill Bainbridge "Mouth" (THE version)

*Cackle*
Thanks to Peterrifico for showing me this! It really made my heart warm to see someone delivering prose like this. It reminds me so much of the conversations here at home, littered with such color and verve.

Shameless Plug
I've been listening to this album for a while now and can't
get enough. Have a listen or just go buy it. Sublime.
