Today was mostly spent perusing paranormal story websites and reading various paranormal experiences, mostly about shadow people (though did you know the capitol of Missouri has an extraterristrial base). There was also some actual work scattered throughout the day ( Read more... )

Perhaps five containers of lipbalm, in various brands, is too much to carry around in my purse.

Even for me.

This weekend was an exercise in patience with no internets, no cable television, an ill feeling manwhoreforhire and two eventually bored boys with memories as long as a fly's.

But we all survived--we played Magic (Blue decks FTW), saw The Golden Compass, and manwhoreforhire and I even managed to get away for an IKEA excursion which brought three new lamps into his apartment ( Read more... )

1. What the Dickens by Gregory Maguire

I found this in the children's literature section while looking for Christmas presents for manwhoreforhire's two boys. Gregory Maguire is one of my favorite authors so I picked it up anyway. It's a story within a story about the tooth fairy. It's rather well-written and amusing.

I had one of the best New Year's I can remember.

• Ornament Stands
• Assortment of Harry Potter Ornaments

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Also, I hope someone holds an elephant gift exchange for I have something that will beat the "I <3 Bling" bag.

I might just give it to gravilim on principle.

Last night, I took a foggy trip down to Clarksburg and Freeport before finding my way to meet manwhoreforhire in ELk Grove during rush hour and pouring rain. It helped that he also got lost trying to meet me some place close to I-5. We actually managed to be at the intersection of Franklin and Laguna within seconds of each other by coincidence ( Read more... )

Friday night, M and I, after waffling a bit, decided to head downtown for dinner and a movie--specifically, Beowulf in 3D at IMAX. With about an hour and half until the movie, we had a fantastic dinner at Tapa's (and downed a pitcher of sangria between us in 40 minutea) before we stumbled our way down to IMAX. I amused the movie ticket clerk by ( Read more... )
