I just finished reading Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. I gotta say - it now ties with The Goblet of Fire as my favorite HP book so far. As if I wasn’t big enough of a dork, I actually teard up a few times reading the last few chapters.

Oy Vey.

My mom gave me this funny looking ceramic cat many years ago. As I have found whiskers shed by Mr. Bigglesworth, I’ve stuck them into the cat’s whisker holes. Not sure if that’s what it was really intended for, but it seems an appropriate application.

I am a crazy person.

So this year, I’m scaling down. Ok, stop laughing - I really am. I only have a few requests this year, but of course they are still on the pricey side.

So here is the list of things that can actually be wrapped:

1. Canon Zoom Super Wide Angle EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Lens $139.95
-or-
Canon Zoom Super Wide Angle EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Autofocus Lens $529.95*

2. Canon i9900 Inkjet Printer $434*

(All prices above are from B&H Photo items with * are what I really really would like in a perfect setting where money is no object)

Thing’s I’d like that can’t really be wrapped:

1. All expenses paid visit to the optometrist for a new set of glasses and some contact lenses.
2. All expenses paid visit to the dentist for all the work that *needs* to be done, plus a round of whitening.

Yikes.

This weekend I drove up to Flagstaff with my brother Jeremy to visit my girl Aimee! We had lots of fun, I found MORE devil duckies (pictures to come) and we had a really fun time. We were out doing some silly shopping and Aimee picked up a copy of Carmen Electra’s striptease workout video. So the two of them (Aimee and Jeremy) decided that they were going to try it out.

Good times

I may or may not post some pics from that later.. depends on how evil I am feeling. One of the best parts of being in Flagstaff was the brutal cold. Living in Phoenix has spoiled me, and I realized that I needed cold to put me in the holiday spirit! And it even snowed! How exciting! After we went to the movie and dinner, we made martinis and proceeded to get nice and buzzed. Aimee and I photo-geeked out and got our camera’s out for more photo goodness which is where the above photo and the two pics of me (in Flickr) came from.

SomaFM has their Xmas in Frisco stream back up! Its full of odd and furry songs that will help put you in the holiday spirit, especially if you have broadband internet!

More later, I’m grabbing Harry and the Half Prince and going do bed.

Ok so I got Mr. B so high on catnip that he attacked the closed catnip container and THEN fell off the coffee table.

And some of my neighbors are having a drunken singing party somewhere in the complex…

And the behavior of fraternity boys mixing with alcohol! Words cannot begin to describe…

…good thing I got 147 pictures with my new Canon 20D

Happy Tofurkey day to everyone!

Today was the first time I’ve taken a shower fully naked in almost a month! It was fabulous. No casts, splints, bandages or any other assorted medical junk to keep dry.

YAY
