Santa Rampage: Athens Edition has been shelved for this year. (Unless someone we don't know about is doing it.) But we *will* be doing this next year! This means you have an *entire year* to get your Santa costume together! (Or elf, or reindeer, or whatever. Lissa says some Jewish friends of hers showed up dressed as a dreidel and a menorah, so no ( Read more... )

Would any of you Athenians be interested in doing our own version of Santa Rampage this year? In case you aren't familiar with this tradition, it's when a bunch of people dress up like Santa and go bar hopping. There are rules, hilarious rules, which I'll post for you if there is interest *and* if the Atlanta Santa Rampage folks don't mind. We ( Read more... )

As in, everything between the top support beam (I guess) and the bottom is gone, and there are raggedy edges, and a bit of fence just lying there. There are ( Read more... )

Dogs got out of the fence and were missing for more than an hour this morning. I think I'm calm now.

I'm going to trade them in for a llama.

I feel myself entering a downswing. For the past few days, I've been in that fog that I hate so much. I sort of "wake up" once in a while and realize I've been zoned out for hours. Not good. I've been sad more than happy, and I'm anxious and unable to sleep tonight. I just took some herbal stuff for that, so maybe it will kick in soon. Tomorrow ( Read more... )
