Party People in the house say *yawn* HO!
Not sure how this happened, but not pictured are:
My list of gifts includes: LOST season 2, Some knitting notions, World War Z: an Oral history of the Zombie War, Llyewllyns 2007 witch Calendar, Fat Tony Simpsons figure, Universal Monsters comic, screenplay for Fantastic Planet, chocolate, The Man Who Laughs on DVD, a Borders card with which I hope to buy an unabridged complete Poe, and Money, which I'm using to buy The Golem on DVD, and some ultra violent horror, On Writing by Stephen King (and I won't be loaning this one out, suckahs). I also got six months of paid LJ time which I really needed, and a beautiful candle holder for tea lights from my soon to be MIL and FIL. They're good, those guys.
Today I bought myself a Cool Corder Machine because I want to try to make myself a better knitted purse and can't make cord. But the dang thing doesn't come with instructions. Wish me luck on the endless search to find them online.
It's Honore's last dinner with us for the year, and she wants pasta again. I'm learning that vegetarians eat a lot of pasta. We're having linguini alfredo with mushrooms and roasted peppers. Mmmmm. We'll also be having garlic bread and no salad. It's been really cool having her here, even if I'm really too high strung for a ten day visitor. Tomorrow H and I will resume our carnivorous ways once again. We spent way too much money at the grocery store. But the important thing is that if I want pound cake, I have some.
NaNoWriMo is drawing to a close and I'm going to be scrambling my ass off in order to make it this year, being just over 46K as we speak. I can do it, but it's going to involve hauling some ass...but since I don't write with my ass, I guess I'll be hauling some fingers and a few thumbs. I don't think anyone is reading furiously right now, so I'm going to go ahead and quick edit the rest of the chapters before I post them. Come January people will almost certainly start reading as if it's winter and they have time on their hands once again. Speaking of which--I'm not usually one to post about weather. But jeez, it's super, super nice outside today. Sixty degrees at the end of November, I feel like taking the dog for a walk, but I don't have one.

I am so tempted by the King book...

I'm reading and loving it. Just haven't been commenting, sadly. Assume my comments are another variation of "This is great. Keep them coming!" unless I say different. ; )

I'll try to get the remaining chaps up with some level of regularity.

If I'm gonna puke, I'm gonna puke at home.
Please, Jesus, don't let me puke in the car ...
Oh, man, I gotta call into work in case I puke ...
*PUKE!*
... and I went to work the next day, anyway. Yar.

I was sorry you had to leave so early.
But it sounds like you're feeling better at least.
We'll get together sometime soon.
This week is terrible for me, but next might be better.
happy belated birthday
Re: happy belated birthday
Kim told me about your grandmother's cat. I was really sorry to hear that. Having to put a cat down is terrible. I cried for days when Clarence got sick.

Sounds like the party was lots of fun. That zombie book is on my to-read list as well.

If anything, they should have been arrested for their terrible makeups.
Of course zombies bringing lawsuits is the most feindish portion of the zombie holocaust. It begins...
