Merry, uh, December 27th!!!

I've been inspired by (re: I totally ripped off) New Homeowner and decided to post some Christmas pics, especially of the tree. Like 5 days too late, but whatever. To know my lazy ass, is to love my lazy ass. I think. Anyhoo...

The one foot tree. The only tree the Cats without Shame have managed not to eat. Speaking of...

Featuring one cracked out kitty, high on the 'nip!

Some people will do anything for a taste of the 'nip!

Oh, and the festive nails.

And Jen and yours truly's festive toes:

Incidentally, you can still see my stupid sandal tan. It's December. How embarrassing.

And this crazy Santa who must have taken a wrong left turn somewhere... He's definitely not in Albuquerque. And he's not in the North Pole. Though, frankly, it may feel like it so if he's had one too many (I saw you, Blitzen!), he may be slightly confused...

I don't think milk and cookies are gonna help him now. What he needs is a shot of tequila! And for some reason, it looks like there's a stick up his butt. How cheery! A disgruntled elf, perhaps?

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from citrusboy, Winnipeg Damsel, and my uszka!

Yup, I think this about covers it. Though how can I be a Ghost AND Pacman...? Oh yeah, and I wanna be Inky.

I am a Pacman Ghost. I like to hang around with friends, chatting, dancing, all that sort of thing. We don't appreciate outsiders, and do our best to discourage others approaching us. I enjoy occasionally wandering around randomly, and often find that when I do so, I get to where I wanted to be. What Video Game Character Are You?

If you were not a Pacman Ghost you would be Pacman.

I am Pacman. I am an aggressive sort of personality, out to get what I can, when I can. I prefer to avoid confrontation, but sometimes when it's called for, I can be a powerful character. I tend to be afflicted with munchies constantly.

I Just Can't Take It Anymore!

Dear Winnipeg:

Hay is for horses.
I believe the correct term you are looking for is "eh".

Thank you,
A Concerned Citizen

Uhh....

So I bought some stuff for New Homeowner from Amazon and, according to their website, this is when her goodies should arrive:

These items will arrive after Dec 25 2006.
Items shipped on Dec 8 2006:
Delivery estimate: Dec 12 2006 - Dec 29 2006

This means that
a) items that were shipped on the 8th won't get there until after Christmas, so it could conceivably take them (being generous here) 20 days to deliver a package to NH who is practically down the street from them BUT
b) there is also a span of SEVENTEEN days during which the items could arrive at any time! In that time the stuff could grow legs, get up, walk out of the plant, walk across the street, and hop into NH's mailbox! I bet that would only take, like, 5 days, tops.

Then, FIVE days later, I ordered more stuff:

Items shipped on Dec 13 2006:
Delivery estimate: Dec 19 2006 - Dec 21 2006

I don't get it, I just don't get it! And I'm in a different, further away province too! Maybe books have to be persuaded to leave the factory, while DVDs just want to get the hell out of there!

Oh, and NH got her stuff two days ago. I guess the books were feeling cooperative that day...
