  • Those hoarders are scary. And mashed potatoes are good.

    I guess I took a holiday hiatus. I wasn’t planning on it, but man is it difficult to get anything done when it’s snowy outside and there’s an electric blanket inside. And heat. And TV. I don’t have these things in my apartment.

    I have done nothing this holiday (besides watch that scary show about hoarders and several other shows about home decor and eat mashed potatoes). I am still wearing my pajamas at noon, and I haven’t yet washed my hair. Remember sleeping in? I did it. Remember soups and grilled cheeses? I ate them. Remember not having plans or a to-do list? I pretended I didn’t.

    This is awesome. And comfortable. And amazing. Maybe I should just buy the house I spoke of [here], work at the local deli, earn a pension, and come home nightly to a heated cozy house. Why spend so much time trying to ‘make it’? Bla. Over it. Back to pajamas. For now.

    I’m keeping my electric blanket status until January 3rd. Then back to making it because I might as well try for a little longer. See ya then. In the meantime, here’s a picture of the figgy pudding we made only because it’s in that one holiday song. It tastes like spiced orangey carrot cake, but its brick-like weight explains why it has not been a popular Christmas dish since the 19th century.

    Happy New Year!

  • Nice Snowballs

    I cannot defend this. I can only say that my blogger friend Neil at Citizen of the Month does this yearly blogger concert where people with blogs near and far get together and sing. But they don’t really get together. They get together through the internet because people with blogs are pretty obsessed with their computers and don’t actually meet people in public very often.

    This year fifty people are participating [here]. But in case you don’t want to weed through fifty caroling bloggers (no singing experience required), here is the entry I filmed with my friend, Kat. You’re not going to believe this, but we shot this ourselves. I would say ‘enjoy.’ But I’m not sure you will:
