ok, so i just look at this and jason's all "celebrate the day anglosaxons raped and pillaged" and shit. that's all history is i guess, and holidays are pretty damn commercial, i think i caught myself yelling at the tv like 4 times during the parade that i used to love, but it's kinda nice to be here at my parents' house today.
shiitake gravy simmering and the tofurky (which does look like a pregnant belly although i hacked it open and removed its stuffing to add my own) is all roasty and yummy with mushrooms and carrots and onions. i am not even hungry and there will be so much food, which i will be bringing back to midtown tomorrow i guess if anyone is hungry or deprived.
i tried to make the chocolate punkin pie using the ancient mixmaster cos i mudered the blender last year and surprise the tofu did not blend as well and so has a tapioca like texture however it tastes amazing. all this food i made and who will eat it? i suppose the corn and such will get eaten by my brother and his roommate but i have no guests and will be taking food home to feed myself this one last week in midtown before returning defeated and roommateless to bartlett. of course i'll really be crashing at my tachi mama house and then i am tristan sitting over xmas but still where will i go and with whom.
i made a hugmongous mess, my parents are crowding the kitchen, i feel rushed to produce more food when i already have too much for just me. last year at decleyre was perhaps the greatest t-day ever, josh and morgan and shawn and suzie and jessica i think and of course me and denny and talula running aorund the house like fools, but it's nice i guess to be here at home.
i think my mom is secretly desperately lonely the way she is obsessed with the kitten and moves jerkily, her parents have finally been convinced to move into assisted living up in maryland and i know she's preoccupied and then is looking for a job but nothing yet.
25 yrs of marriage and she sits around talking to the cats while my dad plays starconquest games and i guess that is contentment but i hope i never am so bound to one spot and one person.
enough enough i think i am going back to reading harry potter 5 again.
love sue
