Just to prove I don't use this blog to flog my personal agenda or whine about my mine issues, I'm gonna MEEP! today. I got my Chobits calendar from Sasuga on Christmas Eve, and I'm in heaven over it. It's adorable. It's lovely. It's cute! It's lots of scantily clad Chii... pauses On unrelated side note, CLAMP could I please have a Lawful Drug calendar next year? I don't mind scantily clad Chiis, but I would prefer scantily clad Kazahayas, Rikuous, Kakeis and Saigas. Now back to the calendar. I have to say, the Japanese have a very different idea of "calendar." I expected 12ish pages bound together with the months below the pictures. I did not get this at all. I got 12 seperate clear plastic posters. (Beautiful posters...drools I am such a CLAMP slut.) Some of them are the standard Chobits images that are everywhere. There's Chii on the phallic symbol. Expanded images of the first 3 manga covers. Some however are new to me. There's an poster of the tiny little persocons that's adorable. There's a vaguely sinister image of Chii and the mysterious personages. Also, there was set of chibi Chobits magnets included. Again, too adorable. If I wanted, I could take the month/date stickers supplied and slap them on the posters. I don't want however. I'm merrily rearranging my cube decorations, and hanging up the posters where I will. The magnets were slapped on my filing cabinet first thing! 12/23/2001
twitch twitch twitch Most of my Xmas ornanments are partially done, but they have to be backed or stitched together or glue onto something... A nice portion of my gifts to people are wrapped, but the rest need to be done... I need to do laundry before I go to Mom's tomorrow... I'm going to an early Xmas dinner around 2... I have just made a strong pot of coffee. Either the stress is going to drive me into a caffeine induced fit, or I'm going to get it all done. twitch twitch twitch Most of my Xmas ornanments are partially done, but they have to be backed or stitched together or glue onto something...

ahem I would like to present a public service announcement for the passerby fans. Let us begin at the beginning. Ladies, we are not considered normal. Can we just give up that fight right now? We're obsessing over televisions shows, movies and books. We're writing erotica and porn about said genres of popular entertainment. We're creating webpages. We're endlessly picking apart our favored obsessions. The rest of the world does not consider this normal. Concede the battle to clinge to the title of normalcy. Proudly wave the fact that you're quirky and interesting, and highly in-tune with popular culture. Then move on with your lives. So, now that it's been establish we not normal. Could we all please stop pointing at other peoples perferences in pairings and fandom and fiction and going "ewww gross! That's sick!"? For one reason, we're not adolescent girls... pauses All right bad example, some of.... all right a lot of us are adolescent girls, but they're all lying about it, so we'll just ignore them for purposes of this whatever-it-is-that-I'm doing. Done digressing madly now. Anyway, we're not adolescent girls, don't you think that it's time to move beyond this reaction? (I've always liked the metaphorical shrug and "Move along. Move along. Nothing to see here." as coping mechanism when squicked.) So somebody has a different vision of the characters then you. So somebody has a different kink. So you don't think the central idea is support by the canon. So what? It doesn't matter. They're not doing it to piss you off. They're just different people. Their ideas are different. The emotional needs they're fulfilling via fandom are different. Really, have fun blowing off steam about how wrong the pairing/writer/fandom is, but stop flogging the horse someday, because what they're doing isn't bad. It's just not what you want to see, and whining and pouting about it is extremely unattractive. Someday, I'm going to destroy every point I've stated here by confessing just how much certain writers disturb me. Discuss among yourselves, are they aware just how much of their sexual triggers that they're showing us via their writing? It is not my fault this time, Aithine. All I did was tell you that Bishonen Ink had some interesting stories! I didn't tell you to pick up the fandom. Not that I'm going to whine if you write more stories, but you're not pinning this one fanodom on me. 12/17/2001
It's official. This is now the worst year of my life. I'm going to spend the next several days pretending the world doesn't exist. 12/15/2001
In the "I'm okay, but you're kink/favored pairing/whatever is wrong,wrong, wrong." front: 1. Bite me. 2. Different strokes for different folks. ie Just because that's what you draw from canon, doesn't mean other people see it that way. That is all for right now. 12/6/2001
Erk. I just agreed to make cookies and such for the Xmas party. The sad part is, I volunteered. I didn't even have to be talked into it. Let's see: pumpkin bread choc. chip cookies Hershey kiss cookies um...um...um... I want to make rugelach. Irregardless of the fact that I've never made it before, and the fact that it has enough butter to kill, I want to try it.

Cause, I am entirely too please with the results, I give you (drumroll, please!) a easy recipe for elk bar-b-q. It's is not a quick recipe, since it got cooked in a crockpot. (I *heart* my crockpot.) Take: Toss it all into a crock pot. Ignore until the roast has cooked through. Take roast out of crockpot, and shred the meat. Throw the meat back into the pot, and stir. Add some more sauce if it looks dry. Let it cook for a bit longer, and then eat! Taaaa-dah! |
