Mmmm....presents!

evilshell, can I trade you shoes for Christmas food from the Migros?

All I can get here is the German stuff, and it's just not the same. I actually like those Appenzeller biberli. A lot.

For the rest of you, think marzipan twinkie. With the twinkie as gingerbread. With strong coffee, it's just da best.

I got a tube of vermichelli (sp?) last week and went to cinnamon and chestnut heaven last night. I'm gonna go get some more - when Octoberfest isn't in full rage on the weekend over at Alpine Village.

Some stuff is definitely seasonal - thankfully, not all of it bad.

Thinking about Christmas presents. There are people on my list who are tough to buy for - but the good part is they usually go first. And since I shop year-round, I have a large amount of stuff already done. Why, yes - yes, I do. Even with the move from hell this year.

How much do I love giving presents? Bwahahahaaaa....

So! Answer up!

You want a present this year? Gimme your address:

[Poll #180824]

Lessee...Hannukah is early this year, I heard - *checks* - they lied. varna, when is Yule this year?

I once heard that sleep dep is a powerful cure for what ails you - all I know is that I woke up this morning ready to alphabetize my socks.

And I'm stuck here in a programming freeze while they finish migrating to a new server. Covering help desk calls.

Oh, and if you want an invitation to the housewarming, it looks to be November 8th -

Oh this is going to be found very amusing, I'm sure -

But Cedric was by this evening. He'd just stopped by a karate dojo near the house. One being run by an old sempai of his.

Cedric, "I'm retired" with his nth degree black belt - he's looking to go into akido next. He's easily seven years older than me.

It's close. It's doable. Very, very tempting. I tell ya, the gym is just not cutting it - I'm bored senseless. And I am getting very fed up with the flexibility I am losing - I used to be able to touch the back of my head with my feet, for cryin' out loud.

And they have had very good students who got through to their black belts in four years - beginning at 50 years of age. With more demanding jobs.

I'll let you know.
