Sorry Conan. # 18:45 @ insomniac19 You know that they make ice cream that has booze in it, right? :) # 18:50 @ insomniac19 bit.ly/zhTY5 I do not lie about booze or ice cream, bb. #...

Come On! Koibito! 17/21

... upon taking off and the heights combined with the fact that he was the only one up there besides the balloonist (a steadicam mounted on one side of the basket filming him) spelled disaster for the poor host. Aiba had been there when Sho landed. Landed might not be the right word. It was more like tumbled out of the basket. His knees hit the ground first, followed by his elbows and finally his...

...Goes absolutely nowhere. Writing with the television on is conductive to nothing. “Do you, er - I could make tea?” James grunts questioningly and, because that probably doesn’t cover being a hospitable host, cracks his eyes to peer blearily up at Theodore, who is hovering unsurely between the tiny living room and even tinier kitchen and looking utterly out-of-place. Not the boy’s fault, really...

... just ahhhh. Started out the day with sitting at the table, sipping coffee and going through cookbooks with my daughter. She found a recipe that sounded interesting, so we discussed that, Media West, and a host of other things. Nice way to start a Saturday!

Doing your damn job

I don't agree with him on abortion and probably a host of other issues. But what I see in this video is impressive. And come to think of it, that's kind of sad. I wonder how many people who voted against the bill read the whole thing.

Secret Santa?

Last year I opened trueblood_santa , a Secret Santa community for people to send gifts through the mail. Sadly, only a few people took part. I was wondering if more people might be interested if I changed it lj gifts (i.e. fics, graphics, etc.) instead. Thoughts? Would you participate? Should I leave it a snail mail gifts? Or should I just not host it this year.
