slow down there, ricky bobby
happy birthday desertport (fangirl, teacher, fellow member of the tribe) and embroiderama (fangirl, ficcer, herder of cats) (literally)! i hope your days are good and that cake is involved. and if not cake, something equally enjoyable and festive.

also, happy thanksgiving to the canadians in the audience! *waves little canadian flag*
oh, and happy birthday, mom. :D
saturday i went to salem with the family unit to (theoretically) see an exhibit at the peabody-essex museum, but it was a weekend in october in salem and, well, halloween season in a witchy city, lots of people and nowhere to park. altho i did see a woman dressed as original-flavor princess leia, with the white robe and hair buns and a yoda backpack. (the backpack totally made it.) by the time we found a place to park it was too late for a decent tour of the museum, so we, er, went to the gift shop instead. >.< and then walked around some and then went to dinner, where i had the most delicious cocktail - bourbon, mint simple syrup, ginger ale, and a fig, served in a mason jar. it was SO GOOD.
last night was the beginning of curling season and i had not forgotten how to play! (i'm always a little worried i'll forget what to do.) i actually made some shots, but by the end of the game my knees were just totally done with that shit and i, uh, fell on my ass three times in a row. and today i was stiff. >.< but we won, so yay.
today i got to sit at my own desk at work (yay!) but only because it was ridiculously busy. but also, because other people got columbus day off, the t wasn't completely packed. which was nice! i didn't have to feel like a sleep-deprived sardine in the morning.
i love sleepy hollow and all its batshit, but every time i think ichabod could not possibly be more gary stu-ish, they make him more gary stu-ish. it's actually starting to annoy me. it's a good thing he and abbie have such a lovely relationship. but i just want him to be wrong about something, just once. or for him to be incompetent at something. i want him to be confronted with something he doesn't know or can't do! just once! (i mean, aside from the occasional computer cluelessness.) is that too much to ask?
probably it is. >.<
don't mind me, i have a weather headache (just rain already!) and it makes me cranky. there's a bag of chocolate chips in my kitchen so i can make cookies with it tomorrow and instead i want to stick chocolate chips all over a banana. i had dinner and i'm still hungry.
speaking of drinks, this cocktail glows in the dark. how cool is that?
