2 important gifts i forgot to mention:
1) from dur and thyra jojo and miss otis (their cats), a t-shirt that says "if you don't talk to your cat about catnip, who will?" and a cat-butt-shaped air freshener.
2) from mom, a bunch of multi-sized plastic containers to store products and materials, including one long under-bed-type container with hanging trays to store packaging materials, some of which she'd thoughtfully included, as well as scissors, a couple types of ribbon (including a raffia-type that looks like it'll actually TIE things instead of just shredding), and best of all, a package of avery labels so i can label my stuff and put on a list of ingredients and all. she also included a slip of paper promising to help me w/ my website if i need it, because she's learning html and such. >:) go mom!
"hercules against the moon men": i hadn't realized that THAT was my all-time favorite herc movie, the one with the "pizza pizza" jokes, the Deep Hurting/sandstorm scene (i knew that bit was in this one), AND the "ode to pants". bonus! laughed my ass off. now i have no ass. it's sad, really. also, if i haven't mentioned it before, there are hazards involved in smoking a hookah while watching mst3k. i choked several times. hee.
in unrelated news, i have GOT to get me some pr0n. like, you know, the live-action kind. i've got magazines out the wazoo (um, just don't go there), but no video porn. i must remedy this, yes indeedy.
and now, bed. sleeeeeeeep. may have to put some kind of quiet music on, because this is the second or third time somebody's left their alarm set for midnight, and while it's not LOUD this time, i can still hear it and it's enough to keep me awake. g'night. happy xmas, or whatever you might be celebrating today.
