Christmas Eve Eve

Here's a little photo essay from my trip. Details to come tomorrow ... possibly.

I like to call this one OMFG I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE:

(which is somewhere along the NC/VA western border, I think).

Christmas Lights in a Boone Snowstorm. Sorry for the blurriness. It was cold.


and, sorry for the friggin' WHITE-OUT!!! GAH!!! Stupid wind.


My parents' Xmas Tree. Not as cute as the Purple Tinsel Tree

but, at 8 feet tall, it's slightly taller.

What tree isn't complete with Dried Okra Santa?


SuperFantastic Cousin (and Cousin-Once-Removed)

Cuter than Baby Jesus, bitches.

One neighborhood in Greensboro has this weird habit of tossing lighted chicken wire balls into trees.

EVERY TREE.

The End.
More later.

    How photowonderful! The drive from the DC area to Greensboro goes through some of my favorite parts of the southeast. I'd rather do it in daylight, however, especially if I encounter snow.

    I love the OMFGIITMON. Beautiful sky and mountains.

    And are you sure you didn't come to Seattle? Because I have those exact Christmas light photos, and I took them here in my neighborhood just a couple of years ago.

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
