Benefits of having a pre-teen- rather than waking us up at 6:30 to unwrap presents, he woke up at 8:30 like a civilized human being. He also surprised me by getting in bed for a snuggle instead of heading straight for the Christmas tree. This is a good phase. I'll take it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I had to Google about 90% of what you just wrote but I love this comment and thank youl

Listen, Mark's just full of shit. He's been on the naughty list since he was 6. I can't go into details of just how I know, but I know. Like, it's so horrible that Santa has the reindeer poop on his rooftop as he flies by and of course Santa doesn't leave him presents.

This guy...

Little Dream and Death. Because they were so unexpectedly squee given the tone of the rest of the series.

Plus bonus, he poops dark matter!

Edit: On second thought,fuck Twiki. Calcifer is cuter AND actually works hard...

...and I forgot to post the credit for Fizzgig, from The Dark Crystal, who is a spoiled, demanding and horrible little creature much like every cat I've ever had.

Greg Wise is a silver fox.

I think Midnight in Paris is his only genuinely good movie. And even then the ending — spoilers, etc. — in which the 40-something lead decides it's just easier to shack up with a girl in her early 20s than deal with "older" (read:30-something) women and all of their thoughts and personalities drives me crazy to this…

Nothing gives me worse phone anxiety than voicemail. I hate calling or answering the phone but I truly loathe voicemail. Our phone system at work just got "upgraded" and the voicemail is broken and it's been absolutely wonderful.
