@swashbuckling: I know. I just went off of the pill and lost ten pounds like that. IUD for me!

@wtfox?!: I'm going to have to go on record and say I am in love with your dad too.

@Princess Leela: Much better than what I would have done, which would have been throwing down the mic and having a nervous breakdown right on the ice.

@kenzington: OK THAT'S what I did wrong...forgot to communicate my expectations to Myrddin. (Sweet rest and repose in the afterlife, my dearest boy, I miss you with all of my heart...)

Good news: new adoptive kittehs are coming home Tuesday! Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday! Mr. Chryss and I just bought an obscene amount of toys, food, new coordinated bowls, etc. Because we are mental.

@PrincessLeah: 2 kittehs! One is black with green eyes, one is gray with black stripes (which turn into spots on the back end.) They are littermates! And both boys! Right now their names are Tony and Onyx, but we're trying to figure out better names. Top contenders are Han and Chewie and Gilbert and Sullivan.

Wow. Also, slightly off topic but not really ADOPTIVE KITTEHS ARE COMING ON TUESDAY! TUESDAY KITTEHS!

@haus_frau: @haus_frau Left you a message here w/ my email. I'm a former villager as well as an Antioch College alumna.

@badmutha: My beloved and recently passed Myrddin Emrys loved doing the headbutt of love. He almost knocked my teeth out one time, I swear. "I LOVE YOU THIIIIIIIS MUUUUUUUCH!"

@haus_frau: You're in Yellow Springs! OMG! We must needs chat. Also, did you know Mr. Eko's forebear, Bart? I loved that guy. He would do the "headbutt of love."

"You see me rollin'. You squee-in'." Yes, yes I am.

@thegirlfromipanema: My current belleh is bigger than that. Oh, boy.

@snacktastic: Oh HECK YES.

@skyisfalling: OK here is some interview advice:

As part of our ongoing spitting on the grave of 2010, Mr. Chryss and I just came back from meeting two kittens we are going to adopt. They are brothers. Their names are Onyx (nickname: Batman) and Tony (nickname: Ironman). They are hilarious and cute and active and terribly, terribly handsome. Did I mention silky…

Here are mine:

@singing_femmebot: It's called Dress for Success, and GO YOU!

@RaeBeta: Well my cat would have used all of those as cat toys, so she might have a bit of a point...the tree sounds AWESOME.

I totally surprised Mr. Chryss with a USB turntable for Xmas. Oh yeah, this Jew has Christmas gifting down to a science. ROCK ON.

@lonelyinmynightmare: Classic Duran Duran, or All You Need is Now Duran Duran? Aahhhh, who cares, they're both EXCELLENT. Rock on, bebe. Rock on. Happy Christmas!
