I need pants.
This realization has led me to place pants on my christmas wish list for the first time in forever. Sweaters too, I need those, so my christmas is probably going to be very boring.

ABC family channel's 25 days of Christmas seems very unchristmassy this year. They start off with the crappy new version of how the Grinch Stole Christmas, then follow that up with Cars and the crappy new version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is Christmas how? They have also threatened to "update" one of the Rankin and Bass features. This can't end well. Poorly done ABC Family, POORLY DONE! I think at some point I'll have to make a list of the best crappy christmas movies of all time, over the weekend I caught the ending of the one where Kelsey Grammar played this guy who's dad was Santa Claus. It starred the hot sister from Ugly Betty in a really cringe inducing performance.

I got sick on Thanksgiving for the second straight year. I think it might be my sister's devilled eggs. They also made me make two apple pies for everyone. It was not much fun.

I am very discouraged in my early shopping efforts. All I want, is to buy my niece a japanese robot monkey that blows bubbles from a little coconut bowl while his eyes light up. There are TONS of these on Ebay that don't work for one reason or another. The ones that do cost at least a hundred dollars. Thing is, they are all from the 60's. Apparently none have been manufactured since then! You'd think some enterprising venture capitalist would be all over this untapped market, but NO. Also the picture on the box looks nothing like the monkey.


So I have the week off to hopefully finish off everything related to school once and for all. What are you jokers up to?

If anyplace was going to have a monkey like that, I'd bet Archie McPhee's in Seattle would. Their online store isn't as robust as the physical store, but you might want to give it a browse anyway. Kitschy-crap-o-rama. I love it.

"Sweaters too, I need those"

I have to say, if this is a hint to your knitting friends it's a fairly heavy-handed one.

I was noticing that "Cars" and "The Incredibles" are becoming the new "how is this holiday?" holiday movies. I remember it used to be "The Sound of Music" or "Mary Poppins" we'd watch every Thanksgiving. I'm curious to see the new bastardized Rankin Bass shows - are they as good as the Aflac commercial?

Don't forget The Wizard of Oz, too.

Right - for some reason that was associated with the holidays. You can see a bunch of people dressed as "Wizard of Oz" characters at one point in the movie "A Christmas Story" like it makes perfect sense.

I keep forgetting you're a Leftpondian and so when you say "pants" you don't mean underwear pants (or even thongs which I believe are becoming increasingly popular amongst young men. Along with moisturiser and guyliner).

I have done really badly with Christmas shopping so far.

That monkey looks like he's jerking off! Not a nice gift for your niece!

Monkey on box? Cute and intriguing. Actual monkey? Creepy and disturbing.

Bake your niece a pie.
