Oh yeah, you’ll deck the halls, and you’ll like it!
…tree trimming tonight. Preceded by lasagna and other deliciousness. I’m pleased as punch to be home.
Things that are ridiculous:
- -15 degree weather…regularly. The coldest it got in NY (I think) before I left was 20 degrees. 20 degrees above zero. I’m an idiot for not feeling prepared for the cold. I mean, I grew up here, but it always catches me by surprise.
- Mean people, and people who are mean to my friends and family. They can suck it! I’m anticipating the arrival of their coal this year.
- Awful renditions of Christmas music - modern versions, jaunty remixes, anything that would make Jesus mad. And I think of a lot of it would…I mean, I’m guessing Jesus doesn’t get mad easily, but half of the songs I’ve inadvertently heard in the past week couldn’t possibly have put a smile on his face.
Things that are ridiculously awesome:
- Being in Minnesota, despite the cold, and being exactly where I want to be.
- Dangerbox is going to Chicago in February! Yahoo! We won the CIT wild card slot. Because we’re wild! …And we know how to pressure internet friends into doing things for us. We’ve got that down pat. Check it out! http://www.chicagoimprovfestival.org/web/ccc_home.php
- Peppermint Christmas taffies. Right?? Brach’s! Who’da thought! Way to pause on the bridge mix to make something delicious.
