Very educational: how you can fit several million toy animals in roughly 1/2 cubic meter. That even leaves out the very large cetacean species which are explicitly carried on the ark.

Oh, man. I just realised that it's Christmas Time (now that we're in December I'll recognise it as Christmas Time) and I haven't put up any decorations.

I shall fix that tomorrow if I can be bothered. I'm pretty lazy, you know.

It's snowing today in Beijing. There is a Christmas tree in the hotel lobby, and Christmas music is playing in the elevator.

Yep, this is what Christmas is all about here in Corporation run America! It's sad to me how much of our economy depends on consumer spending this time of year, and also how much various charities count on gift giving this time of year.

I've been decidedly Scroogish this year. With my shitty finances, I have become staunchly anti-consumerist.

The holidays (or as the Brits call them, "rounders") are a time for mindless, meaningless sex. Because it's mindless, many people come unprepared, as it were, so we can be thankful for the post hoc arrangements ...

(Can't mistletoe be used as an abortifacient in a pinch ? Or am I thinking of mugwort ?)

I think you're confusing periods of relaxed inactivity with the original game from where your tedious rivetting "baseball" sprang.

[Philboid Studge]

"Confusing periods of relaxed inactivity" is precisely the kind of sex the morning-after pill is meant to address.


EDIT: The ex-wife used to confuse "periods" with relaxed inactivity. It didn't fly.
