So I did the bulk of the shopping for Christmas dinner this morning, and I bought pretty cool gifts for everyone except Amber, who I'll owe a pretty necklace to, and most of my gifts are wrapped, and DH finished grading his Comp students, and only has the Holocaust class to go, which is stupendous.

We talked about movies to add to our Netflix, and now, based on my interest in “Superbad” and “Red Dawn”, they recommend we also queue Beerfest, Heartbreak Ridge, and Road House. Happily, we're getting the last three DVDs of Veronica Mars tomorrow. Monstro used to hate the theme song but I've brought him to the other side of it. Now we gyrate wildly to it. Dandy Warhols is just a gyrate kind of band.

I got a *really* good idea last night for a series of ten one-act plays with an at-once common and over-the-moon denominator. I told it to DH and he liked it, too, and immediately saw the potential in it. Best thing is, I already have the first play in the cycle: it's Bible Study. Anyone want to play Guess the Denominator?

Oh, and before I go to cook chicken for from-scratch enchiladas and get up my kid (too late, my mom just did it), the Comtesse posted the best blog post I've seen this year, and the year's almost over and everything! Motormouth says, “Check it out.”
