The big holiday bash that I mentioned in a previous post involves a White Elephant/Dirty Santa gift exchange. Unfortunately, some of these attendees decide to save up all of their passive-aggressive lashing out and bring the seriously worst possible crap imaginable. The rule used to be to bring something that might be some use to [...]

Jane whined about how no one was updating their blogs and also, she had cancer, so yeah. Christmas was kind of ridiculous, both laid back and oddly stressful. I got walloped with some kind of crazy mega cold mid-morning on Christmas Day. I made it to my mother’s house, where I sat on the couch, [...]

We have one big holiday affair in my local social group: a heady bacchanal in a distant McMansion community where our friend stuffs us with meats and liquors until we beg for mercy. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he wanted to harvest our livers. Imagine a party where the frenched lamb chops appetizers [...]

I think I’m turning into Mighty Kymm, as I have noticed that watching flash mob videos tends to make me get choked up a little. I don’t know why. At first I thought it was because I just love the musical numbers in The Sound of Music, but then it happened again and again, even [...]

You guys already know that I’m a dope about Christmas specials (hey, is this an old Elastic Waist post? How did that get on here?), but can I just say right now that I’m super duper excited about the special stop action animated episode of NBC’s Community this Thursday? Ok, if NBC hadn’t asked me [...]

A few weeks ago, while I was in Everwood demanding that Jake drive me around and find things that would delight and amuse me, he pointed us at a bakery that was apparently founded by Joseph Smith or something. I tried half of a piece and demanded the box be taken away before I eat [...]
