They’re having the Christmas party for work at the only semi-chi-chi place in town, so I opted out. I’ll get to go home early Tuesday, which is good since it’s my parents’ anniversary and I still need to shop for that gift card.
Only three more shopping days, y’all! :elf:
I crashed my car. Actually, more embarrassingly, I hit a parked car. I crunched the front end of my side panel and bumper while scraping their rear bumper. I left a note, which is frustrating, because I have no way of knowing just what their reaction and expectations will be. They haven’t left a voicemail yet, so maybe they’re not too upset? Right? Bah.
In much happier, or somewhat bittersweeter, news, I got to see Ben, Jesse, and Jonas! I also got Heroes Seasons 1 and 2, a cool Christmas mixtape, and a really cool card. Hooray! Thanks guys! The bitter part is that Jesse leaves for Morgantown soon and I may not get to see him soon, and I probably won’t see Jonas anymore at all. 😥 I wish at least one of my cats would be as loving as Jonas, but it just is NOT going to happen. They are so used to ignoring all humans other than me that they will never be that friendly. Oh, how I damage everything around me. 😆
It’s a snowday! :cold: It’s also frigid out there. Not frigid, however is Lady Chatterley. Thanks to Jonas, my longest standing Amazon wishlist item is MINE! From the hundreds of screencaps I’ve seen of Sean Bean as Mellors, I can tell that it’s going to be amazing. I’m using the DVD as a reward for packing up the Christmas things and getting the kitchen back in order.
Thanks to Ben and Jesse, I am the extremely proud owner of the 2008 LOTR Wall Calendar, which now fetches $100 on the street. A three disc collection of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Summer Rental, and Foul Play makes the holiday complete.
Thanks, guys! :clap:
It seems my whole “Look at me!” gift post has really caught on; everyone’s doing it these days. :elf:

Doctor Who Christmas Special– I’m going to have to go with, um, bad. Didn’t enjoy it much at all. Kylie Minogue was flat and The Doctor had too many messianic moments, especially coming off the whole last Series ender. Sill looking forward to the new Series, though.
Stargate: Ark of Truth (waaay early) was awesome. It felt like a comfortable extended episode and I will be buying it as soon as it hits the shelves in March/April.
Ben and Jesse are slated to attend my first ever New Year’s Party, and I hope they do indeed make it down. Hobbit, Istar, and I have already begun planning a menu. If the guys can’t make it down, there will be lots of food to go around.
