Holiday Party
I planned to go to Gallipolis lights (they're lovely) and I wanted to stop at the office to take my plants to the greenhouse. My secretary asks am I coming to the holiday party. Uh thought that was yesterday in the snow. But yes I'll do free food and see what my holiday gift is this year. A stocking hat (happy holidays, Dad because I'm not keeping this) It was nice to see my coworkers and one brought his girlfriend. THey're young. He was at Galaxycon and is introducing her to the world of anime. She wanted my suggestions and had already seen Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (my go to) She loves Disney. I'm like THE OWL HOUSE. Go watch it. Anything by Miyuzaki but especially Howl's Moving Castle. And oh Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.
Advent Joy
Eat at a new restaurant or new cuisine. Okay I kinda did that. It's called The Cafeteria and to be fair, it was good. I had turkey/gravy, a corn pudding that was excellent (probably has my sugar back up to 300) and there were roast veggies, sweet potatoes/potatoes/brussle sprouts/beets. WHEE. I was excited until I had the beets. I'm like did they forget to wash them? It tastes like mud. My secretary looks at me and says I thought it was just me. Nope. This is dirt.
Day 12 tea - OMG finally a black one. Simpson and Vail does literary inspired tea blends and this one was Charles Dickens (I already have Edgar Allan Poe and Lewis Carroll in my collection and ha Edgar has my beets in it and doesn't taste like fucking mud) Dickens is black and oolong tea, black currants and cornflowers. It's very nice.
Here are the lights (not my video, I haven't gotten any of that up) It was also 25 degrees and several people had no coats on and/or had babies too young to shiver there. Eye roll.
I also forgot to post these galaxycon videos with my fannish 50
And while I do not expect anyone to watch all this (I sure didn't) it gives you a good idea of the lines in the first minute
And for thursday's community recs, here's some writing related ones, ushobwri it's twice a week and getyourwordsout's sign up for 2025 is open. I do habit for this one and also open for sign ups is inkingitout and I think I put in for 150K
