one last post before we settle in for dinner...

Henchgirl and I saw this at the Safeway:





Okay, look, I understand the "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" stuff, I do. But "Team Bella"? She's not a team! She's the ball!

Eh, it's not worth worrying about. Not tonight, on this holiday's eve, which has somehow also become a holiday in its own right. It only today occurred to me how weird that was, as I realized that all the banks were closed. It's like how the college students in The Rules of Attraction throw a "Pre-Saturday-Night-Party Party."

Still, Henchgirl and I are getting into the spirit in our own way:





Now, in my defense... while the idea had certainly occurred to me while we were shopping for fake trees in the Target, it was my Henchgirl who suggested we actually do this.

Have I mentioned how supremely lucky I am to have found her? She actively encourages me to be as flagrantly geeky as I'd never allow myself to be in public. The decorations were her idea too. I love how the silver works on both sides. Really, all that's missing is a giant coin tree-topper.

Have a good one, folks. No matter what you do, no matter what you celebrate, stay safe and stay sane.




Well, at least until I pull together the Hugo Strange New Year's Eve post for about_faces. Funny how the next post in my series actually ties into the holiday. Go me, accidentally!

First look, it's a Two-Face tree!

Second look, it's like the two trees are hugging. How cute.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Much cuter than my original plan, which was to essentially saw the trees in half and use their bendable branches to intertwine them into a single Frankenstein Two-Face tree. :)

That is an awesome tree and you two should feel awesome. :D

That tree is FANTASTICAL.

I LOLed at the Two-Face tree, and then collapsed into a coughing, wheezing, spluttering mess, because I am home alone with the flu and cannot breathe without my lungs threatening to collapse. You are not allowed to post such things until I am better.

As a great man once said: OH GOLLY I'M DYING I CAN'T BREATHE OH GOSH I'M DYING TO DEATH.

I shall do my best to resist being at all hilarious and/or delightful for the duration of your illness. Have a Not-Dying Christmas!

Boy, I feel it desperately important that you see the following:

[bitemetechie.livejournal.com]

...ARGH. Youtube! Why do you spurn me so?!

THIS.

[bitemetechie.livejournal.com]

...oh, sure, NOW you work. Fuck you, youtube. Fuck you very much.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

... wat. And since when does Bowser have transformation powers?

[bitemetechie.livejournal.com]

SINCE JAPAN, APPARENTLY.

But seriously, I had no idea Princess Peach was such a total...bitch.

That tree is the definition of the awesome.
