Ahhhh....England!
I made it back without incidents. Except I haven’t opened my bags yet, so for all I know every Christmas present I bought for myself (no, seriously) could be smashed and broken. Ugh, the little glasses I got….I am putting my life at risk sticking my hand in there.
That’s what he said.
Advantage: Bus
Buses have a decided advantage over planes due to the reclining seats and the sweet footrests designed for short people like your’s truly.
Well played, bus. Well played.
Flying
I’m in route to Boston, on my way back to England.
Sure, I’m crammed in a flying box, but they gave me ginger ale (tastes like bald eagle tears) and those cinnamon cookies, so I’m good.
Now I'm just watching Dead Weather videos on...
partywok:
I have audibly said “girrrrrl” at east 3 times.
Look what I started.
I warn you though: If you are going to become the future Mr. Allison Mosshart, you’re going to have to actually speak to her. Actual words, not blubbering.

I don’t care if it’s hipster, this is beautiful.
What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
How cute is this?
Merry Christmas

My Mom: You’re so close, why don’t you come home more often.
What I thought: I don’t know, I love staying in a house that is perpetually 20 degrees while enjoying the only snacks of caffeine-free Cokes and Townhouse crackers. I love family dinners when grandpa calls the Kosher salt, “that weird Jew salt” and being woken up by vacuuming at 8 in the morning.
What I said: I know, it...
Family Dinner Fun
ryanpurtill:
It’s time for that fun family holiday game, “Divert the conversation away anything that could result in one of them saying the N-word.”
Oh, you play that game too?!
Good Lord...
Does anyone actually reblog anymore? Or have we become shells of our former humanity, mindlessly clicking the little heart in the top right corner?
This has been “End-of-Year What Does It All Mean? Theatre.” Join us next time when Clarity discusses the ridiculousness that was her 2011.
nedhepburn:
Is Ryan Gosling the new Zooey Deschanel? Has his meme capacity reached critical mass? When will the inevitable backlash start? Is “Silent Sorta Cocky Cool Guy” the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” for women? Discuss.
Most definitely, Ned. I predict the backlash will start in February, when everyone wakes up from their hangover, stops accidentally writing 2011 on their checks, and begins...
I meant to live-blog dinner.
But I forgot. Then we ate it. Oh well…
Cheesecakes
Refrigerated.
Now for a sammich, then lamb preparation will begin in ernest.
This christmas...

Okay nobody get offended because I know it is “holiday” time and of course we have lovely Hanukah right now and there are people who don’t celebrate Christmas and y’all know [probably] that I’m Tibetan Buddhist anyway but dangit today for me tis Christmas Eve. And in the shower i was thinking of some of the presents I would love to give people if I had the money:
Jules: Pay off her...
Time to get BIZ-AY!
I am making dinner for my family this evening. The lineup:
Guinness Lamb Shanks — Basically the most amazing thing I have ever put in my face. Braises for three hours. Falls off the bone. NOM.
Potato and Celery Root Mash
Scrummy Brussels Sprouts with bacon
Little Lemon Cheesecake Pots
Phase One kicks off in one hour.
Me: I can't just wander around loving people always and forever. I need a hobby.
Carina: That IS your hobby.
Truth.
So close, but no cigar
This evening, while sitting by myself at OK Bicycle Shop, my go-to bar when I’m at home, I attempted to get two friends to admit they were into each other. The guy was pretty drunk and proceeded to ask his gal friend why they weren’t together, rambling on about how they knew each other better than anyone, etc. etc.. He was pretty sincere about it in a melancholy, drunken, pre-Christmas...
Explanations needed!
guardocamino:
Can someone please explain for me the following:
1. Why Bored to Death was cancelled, and Enlightened was renewed? I get that all of the characters arced and all, but still, with only 8 episode seasons, they could’ve muddled through some more zany capers. Maybe find Jonathan a true love interest? This cancellation bums me the hell out. And Enlightened is just awful.
2. The...
“I could watch Kitchen Nightmares all day, every day.”
– Me (via therealricker)
Me too…although it does tend to make me want to inspect every restaurant I go into and tell them what they are doing wrong.
I'm in the Virgin Islands.
I’m too lazy to post pictures. Meh.
St. John!!!
Made it to the Virgin Islands safe and sound. Pictures coming up tomorrow when we get have more time to explore.
Apparently everyone talks in the post office.
Culture shock. I haz it.
Made it safely home.
Experiencing a bit of culture shock.
Hopefully things will be looking better tomorrow.
Sleepy times.

it’s going to be very hard to leave the house today….
Saving for later…
Why do they even bother with zones?
They should just print, “Attaaaack!” on the boarding passes.
You're not flying first or business?
SIT DOWN!
A story in three sentences
There was an Exacto knife in my computer bag. The lady at airport security found it. Whoops.
finally figured out how to get all the ugly random...
molls:
no longer afraid to learn.
Teach us your ways, oh Molls.
No seriously. Fax a girl some directions on how to get rid of the random ugly people. When I type “Ryan Gossling” I do not want to see crazy eyes staring at me, judging my life choices.
Send help
Three days and I am out of here…if I don’t stomp somebody first.
