Continue readingHappy day after Thanksgiving! This is just the best holiday, isn’t it? The day after I mean. No work, tons of food, and everyone is just sort of sleepy and well-fed and happy. At some point I’m gonna have the energy to leave my parents’ and go back to my place and set up my Christmas tree, but not yet.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Post-Thanksgiving watchalong!!!! Of a movie I haven’t seen yet, so I have NO IDEA if it is good or bad or if I will like it or not. But I do know it has a Christmas scene, which is all that matters.

Continue readingThis is the slowest time in blogville, holidays are getting everyone busy and stuff, so it seems like a good time for me to post something controversial. Only my old friends who will read carefully and thoughtfully are hanging around. You don’t have to agree with me, but I know the DCIB regulars will at least take me seriously and consider what I say.
Continue readingI’ve asked this before, but really it is a timeless question. And why not revisit this vital issue again?

Continue readingBecause I am a doubtful person who hates fun, I don’t fully believe either of these stories. But you can try to convince me otherwise!
Continue readingNOT BEST FRIEND! Because “best friend” is death! Every time I’ve labeled someone as “best friend”, the relationship immediately fizzles. So a very very close friend is turning 30 today.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! And Happy My Father’s Birthday!!! And one of my closest friend’s birthdays! And one of my sister’s closest friend’s birthdays! And also, Mickey Mouse!!!
