Alright-- sitting down to do this on a Monday because, a) I suck and b) I had a terrible migraine Friday, which meant I had to make up my time on Saturday, and then squeeze all my weekend chores into Sunday.

Oh, Bryan Fuller, I want to get excited and squeaky over Hannibal, but I'm afraid to 'cause I only know you want my heart going pitter-patter while you rip it out of my chest. ^_~

Today is the anniversary of the day the wonderful, pithy, and ever brilliant Leigh (aka gamesiplay) began gracing this mortal sphere in her current incarnation. A glorious day indeed, for she is a talented writer, literary critic, historian, stage aficionado, Champion of Dogs, and all around great friend. *hugs tight* Happy Birthday, my dear-- I ( Read more... )

But it is one extremely cold horse, I don't mind telling you. With the wind chill taken into consideration, it feels around about -24 degrees fahrenheit-- it's roughly the same temperature on Mars ( Read more... )

So, Hanukkah officially ended at sundown this evening, but I've always had a tendency towards being a little tardy. (That's being generous. "I set my clocks early, 'cause I know I'm always late" should probably be part of my theme song. If I had a theme song. ^_~)
