8041 – Merry Christmas.
Bro called from his weekly place Boynton.. apparently his friend / resource in points North is in jail on a probation violation, so he won’t be moving there now. He asked for my address to write me and was wondering if there is a place there that he could visit. I didn’t have my local addy handy for him to write to me, but I gave him my work addy… but I did point out to him that he could hang out on my screen porch. There was some sort of domestic dispute taking place outside his place that bled over into the phone. He’s looking for a new weekly rental, because he’s not happy there. He mentioned a girlfriend hanging with him and playing god of war on the playstation. (note this was before his 2am wakeup mentioned the entry prior)
Holiday meme –
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate wins over holiday pancake batter, any day.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Elves wrap, Santa Sets ’em out.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
I prefer multi-colored, but white is nice too.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Sometimes. I haven’t this year.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
Dec 1, usually, but I’ve been neglectful. Just a few candles and cards out.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Traditional morning english-muffin pizzas.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
I don’t have many big Christmas memories as a kid, just a general sense of good cheer, sweet food, time off from school, fun tv and toys. Church was pretty cool, too. No specific incident comes to mind.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
What do you mean? The fact that he works out of Lapland *and* the North Pole? I saw a documentary about finland as a kid that mentioned Santa’s 2nd hangout.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
One at Midnight, or right before bed, depending. not the “big gift” though.
10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
Santa likes sugar cookies, rice milk, and the reindeer get carrots.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love to see it, but rarely do down here in heat-miserville.
12. Can you ice skate?
I used to play hockey all the time, but haven’t skated in years. I suspect it would come back to me pretty quickly.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
I liked the model of the goodyear blimp. It had a motorized revolving drum on the inside on which you could create “lighted” messages. (circa 1975)
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
People actually trying to be nicer to one another.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
I’m easy.. hook me up with christmas cookies and brownies, and I’m your boy. Coffee is nice alongside.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Spreading love
17. What tops your tree?
Usually a star, but sometimes an angel. (Note, my traditions put the tree up on dec 24, and take it down on 12th night, jan 6)
18. Which do you prefer, Giving or receiving?
I enjoy giving more, though I certainly like to get prezzies, too.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
O Tannenbaum
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?

8040 – Bro
Bro woke me at 2am on Christmas morning by calling me on the phone and asking me to look up some woman on the police blotters for Broward and palm beach counties. He claimed that they were going to hit midnight mass and she doesn’t have a phone. She supposedly has outstanding warrants, but I didn’t see any. When I told him that he was calling and waking me up at 2 f’ing in the morning, he barely apologized. I told him to call the police the next time he wanted to do a criminal search, or at least wait until a civil hour to ring me for a non-emergency.
Someone remind me to kick his keister when I wake back up.
8039 – Christmas Cards!
Lovely! I got Christmas Cards from tempestmir, eryx_uk, bubbles3563, and Danny!
Thank you!
Curiosity – Do boys still ask for red wagons, scooters, chemistry sets, lincoln logs and boy scout knives? Is it all consumer electronics now?
Woo! Looks like the Kong Hands got an upgrade!
8038 – hm. Christmas eve, is it?
Captain Cabinets
Trapped in cabinets
can he get out?
will he get out?
‘course he will!
Newt has the uncanny ability to get into the cupboard. I usually don’t have to help him to escape.
Loot gained from co-workers. Cologne, a McDonald’s Gift card, a hip flask and a sky blue t-shirt.
8037 – ook ook!
I suddenly wish to be six years old again.
Kong Hands, Baby!

Half day today, out at noon. That’ll give me time to pick up something for the momster and wilt.

Foamy on Christmas. (language warning, rerun from last year, but still jim-dandy.)

8034 – quick question
8033 – google keeps bringing folks in.
AHOL found my entry about his sticker (most likely via a google vanity search) … it seems that a lot of sticker/graffiti artists swing by. I really dig it when folks float in from the past and say hello.
I wonder how much stuff I’m going to find on my new footpaths?
Aquarius: Your key phrase is “I know.” You not only embody “knowledge,” you also just “know” a lot of people. You feel most alive and secure surrounded by allies who share a common cause. You expend much energy socializing, but not enough on getting to know yourself. Resolve to get comfortable with solitude. Friends come and go, but you always have yourself. (see other sun sign resolutions here)
8032 – Cool Yule Day of Winter2!
Newt is a master of stealth. I’ll call him a fuzzy little shadow-slicer.
Kev’s coming by after work today to see the place, kick Newtie-bear around, exchange prezzies, and hang about.
Blackbird’s head on a raven’s torso. It’s subtle.
Newton’s got eyes like two slitted, amber fists when focused on stalking the crinkly stuffed flea of doom.
He sings…
I’m bad ju-ju,
I use voodoo if I choose to,
I’ll harness the powers of evil to abuse you!
which reminds me… The mighty Boosh strikes again!
The Tundra rap:
Whiteness,
Nothingness,
Endlessness
Death
The whiteness of the whale
Pales in comparison
Oh my god!
Who the hell are you?
I’m little Johnny Frostbite moving around
Freezin’ you up freezing you down
Like an icicle
Comin’ in your tent like a cold night scissor bite
Arctic death
Infinite night
They call me tundra boy because
I move like an arctic lizard
When the Blizzard strikes
I disappear like a pipe dream
All that’s left is the gleam
On the tent peg
Boosh, Boosh, Stronger than a moose
Don’t lock your doors or we’ll come through your roof top
Stop look around take your mind off the floor
Because The Boosh is loose and we’re a little bit RAW!
Ice, floe, nowhere to go
Ice floe, nowhere to go
Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundraaaaaaa!
