If you haven't already, you must watch Hero. If only to hear the line "I shall take you home now, to our home" in Mandarin with English subtitles. It is one of the most brilliant / scenes ever. Great all round movie.

Dave FM was kind enough to play my favorite U2 song while I was at work today, so I'll close the Vinyl...

Now that I've coerced almost everyone I could to tkae my quiz, I will explain two questions that I think everyone missed. The T-shirt question: If you guessed the Breeders, it was the same concert. Imperial Teen opened for the Breeders once in ATL. The first time I saw Imperial Teen, I bought a tee. I've bought one each time I've seen them since (2...

I think I've heard the story before, but my aunt's cousin or something replaced Jim Henson as Kermit after he died. How the topic came up on Christmas, I'll never know.

Eh, back to the grind.

Let's see, the only real battle of the day was this morning. Which Christmas music to listen to while opening presents? You had the pro-Aaron Neville side (my mother and I) and the anti-Aaron Neville side (my father and sister). Guess which side won?
I intuitively opened the most important presents first. LOTR ROTK EE and Hero DVD's, Nirvana box set and Usher's Confessions special...

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Feliz Navidad, Happy Holidays, Happy Solstice, Happy Xmas, Happy Kwanzaa!!!

(I know some of these have passed, but we can't leave anyone out, can we?)

Captain Nick: That be Christmas pirate, ye scurvy dog!

Nar: Correction, that's Christmas pirate. He sailed on his ship "Rudolph, that...

I think I may have a little Christmas spirit now. Or maybe it's just indigestion (did I really need a king size Reese's after the salami sandwiches?).
Anyway, I'm a little behind in my Christmas writing, but look for at least a part of a story here soon.

I might not post a journal for a few days, while I concentrate on other writings.



Addendum:12-21-04 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Also wish Les a Happy Birthday...or else!

Mailed Christmas cards? Check. Did that last Monday.
Wrapped presents? Check. Did that yesterday.
Listened to Elvis and Nat King Cole Christmas CD's? Check. Yesterday, also.
Gotten in the holiday spirit? Damn, I knew I forgot something.
But I must admit a little Cinammon this morning helps! Check her set out, if you haven't already!

A time of magic...
It was about 8 or 9 years ago, I was sitting at my usual hangout, the Tattletale in Atlanta. An unfamiliar dancer approached my table. I thought she was sort of attractive, but not my type or whatever, I didn't think I was interested until we made eye contact and she spoke. She only asked me if I wanted some comapny...

There I was all ready to post about what a terrible mood I was in, then Venla went and spoiled it. Now I just might be in a good mood all night.
