Happy, happy, happy.
Got the Christmas lights up, finally. Two brand new strings of the ceramic bulbs, not those little mini lights that I used to have. Finally tossed those in favor of ones that Wolf and I remember from our childhood. Strung them up across the window corner of the living room, they glow so nicely! Also got the garland up, neatly looped and twisted to look like a wreath, with three strips of ribbon binding it in shape and bowed. You can only see the bow I tied on the bottom clearly, but that's ok. It dresses up the altar wall nicely.
My door bow will NOT stay up. I need to find a better tape method.
Got all the present shopping done over the weekend. Didn't get my Mace Windu lightsaber, every time we found one, we barely had the money and put it back. *le sigh* It's ok. I got a generic green one instead and Wolf got the Count Dooku one with the curved handle. Much fun will be had regardless. Also scored two boxes of imported cookies at Sams, one for my folks and one for us. I can remember really yummy shortbread cookies being given as gifts back in Great Britian 22+ years ago, why not do it again. They're even better then I remember, all chocolatey and mild. I have no idea what to get the ex-mother-in-law, so I won't worry about it. The ST club's Secret Santa purchases were decided in Borders, classic science fiction books. OH! That reminds me. There was a display in the Borders for two lightsabers; Luke's and Anakins. $120 for a glass tube that lit up all the way down and hummed beautifully. It was an "official FX release". Wolf and I spent about five minutes taking turns playing. Then I ended up rocking a random infant in a stroller when the mom and Wolf hurried over to the display to show her two older boys. That was entertaining. Borders has a decent manga collection I managed to drag myself out of without touching anything. I impressed the check-out lady by rattling off all the series I'm currently following. Heh.
And finally, I have TWO *waggles two fingers* boxes of Nutcracker Sweet tea. *poings happily* This is a special black tea Celestial Seasonings puts out for the holidays and I missed the last three years. Not this year, nope, nope, nope. Almost cleaned out the display, then decided I should be good and left two boxes. The Gingerbread Spice isn't bad either. Not as strong as the Sugar Plum spice and balances nicely with a teaspoon of sugar.
So, that was my weekend. Still wrestling with the Mary Sue story. I'm stuck on one scene. See three possible courses of action, not sure which one would be best. Unlike some writers, I have no problem abusing my own characters. Take great delight in it, in fact. Witness the Keep, which....
Which...
OH FUCK!!!!
That was this weekend! I wanted to throw one last party and got one measly response.
Oh well. Sometimes a quiet death is best.
