'Tis also fun to receive, I find.

[wednes]

People have been most generous with the cards and gifts this year. Thanks to all of you and the many beauitful cards you have sent our way. Know that they are displayed in my kitchen/altar area and are being enjoyed by our many holiday guests. Happily, I also rec'd a copy of Earthcore, which was written by a guy I went to college with. I won't say I'm not jealous, it really is a solid book. So, big thanks to diachrony for that as well!!

Things are going pretty well for me. Maybe that means a job will fall into my lap soon. I'm applying for some receptionist gigs this week, not much else is around out there. I really need to work so I can help defray wedding costs. And now that it's decided that there will be a honeymoon (did I tells ya? There's gonna be a honeymoon?!?) we'll need to have more money to budget in. Plus, I'll need a few clothes and a new coat if we intend to honeymoon in Stratford, which is my wish. I really want to see King Lear at the Shakespeare festival (Canada, not at the Globe) and will need a nice new dress that doesn't come from Lane Bryant.
Speaking of wedding stuff, I thought of the coolest favor. We're doing little Mad Lib books because Mad Libs are a staple party activity around here. And we're going to get personalized pens to go with. It'll have our name and wedding date so people will remember our anniversary too!! I think that along with some personalized hershey bars will be perfectly nice for favors.

H loved his many birthday gifts. He got 2 hats, some books including one of The Onion. He's building up a nice collection of those. I also got him Narnia on DVD, Batman v Mr Freeze, and a bunch of candy. H is a fan of Big League Chew. He's getting a bunch more gifts on Monday, and since Monday is his usual day off, we get to spend Christmas day together for the first time ever.

For the record, I am GROSSLY offended by and opposed to the Underdog movie.
Although, Peter Dinklage as Simon Barsinister is almost intriguing.

They're making a movie of Underdog?! I guess it was only a matter of time. I'm not going to watch it. No way they can top Wally Cox. Just no way. *grumble*

I for one am pretty sick of recycled ideas from my childhood and teen years cropping up in the movies. But then, I tend to complain. (About most everything some days.)

[groovesinorbit]

It's a legitimate complaint. I'm pretty sick or it, too. Although, I like to complain, as well. ; )

Not only are they making it, but it's a CGI nightmare. I'm really beginning to hate CGI.

[groovesinorbit]

Yeah, I've been sick of CGI for a while now. Give me hand-drawn animation or stop-action animation any day. And just, Underdog as a real dog?! That is so not the point.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I think the last straw w/me and CGI was when I saw that they'd redone Rudolph and some other xmas specials. They looked awful, no charm whatsoever.

[groovesinorbit]

Ugh! I never saw those.

I love the "Mad Libs" idea! And the honeymoon sounds exciting!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

The mere fact that we're getting a honeymoon is almost thrilling beyond words. We were planning on 2 days in a hot tub room at Days Inn, now it's a whole honeymoon.

I'd hoped Mad Libs wouldn't be too juvenile, but then I decided that it's more whimsical, which is SO us.

madlibs is a great party favor!! i love that idea...and the pens will rock too.

Thanks!

'He got 2 hats'

There are only a finate number of hats in the world. He got two, I have none. =(

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I once cried because I had no hat, then I met a man who had no head.

Of course, if you send me your address, I'll send you a hat.

[itches]

Nah that's alright. Don't really like hats, just like complaining.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

You're very good at it.

[itches]

Thank you.=)

Hey, i'm pretty behind with everyone in my life right now. I didn't even get caught up with your journal. This is the last post I can read today.

Any who ha, can you email me your address? Or post it here. I have your B-day/Yule gift. Also, I miss you! Maybe in Jan we can get together and I can bring you the moola for the press release and computer? And we can visit and laugh and catch up. Maybe even skip around the halls? lol

I'm so happy you get a honeymoon, how exciting. And of course you are picking a very cool place. If you want to venture into the malls for the things you may need, i'm happy to go with;)

Happy Yule!

We are not entirely decided where we're going to go. Stratford is turning out to be pretty expensive if we're going to try to see plays and such. I just had such a blast there in college.

My addy:
3533 Pheasant Run Circle #4
Ann Arbor, MI 48108

We'll def get together in January.
