Feels like holiday spirit


Yes, crappy photos, crappy camera, crappy OS (Vista) that doesn't allow me to do much of anything, but I'm posting these photos for later cropping and such when I have time and a decent OS.

I'd post pictures of my place, but it's completely un-decorated (and un-picked-up).

It is cheery and christmassy in there. :)

I don't ever decorate for Christmas because I'm never at home then. I'm always gone for at least a week, so it seems kind of pointless. However, I enjoy other peoples' decorations.

I also lack a mantel to hang stockings from :(

@Ogg,
Don't worry I don't see any decorations or mantels in any of these caves either.

@Edgar,
It is cheery and christmassy in there. :) Except for my X-mas tree in the last two photos which I should have repotted (and was meaning to as it's in my potting area), so I guess I'll skip the tree this year.

Interesting "happy doomsday" article via wagga: Bad combination: Ultrarich and indebted poor

So 400 individuals, or about 0.00001 percent of the population, own the equivalent of more than 13 percent of the gross national product of the United States.

Amazing.

Having an economy that's almost entirely based on consumer spending and consumer spending that's almost entirely dependent on credit is a *bad* combination.

You could almost call it a rule that all people - Black people, Hispanic people, Anglo people, trailer-trash people, college-graduate people - when put into debt pretty much do what they are told.
While I think there's some truth to this statement, we know one special snowflake in debt who didn't do what he was told.

Unlike all us loosers, he realizes that contracts are meant to be renegotiated.

Akubi,
In keeping with the season, I stumbled upon something that might interest you: http://www.bellocchio.com/catalogue/confiserie/mariagefreresloosetea/
I sent them an email and yes, they do have it in stock. So Merry Tidings, and what have you.

@Notanoptimist,
Great find and right in San Francisco! It's odd that they list Festin d'Or as black tea, because I thought it only came in green. Perhaps it was a mistake. I'll email them to check.

@Edgar,
I found some Christmas toilet paper for you!

Hi akubi, I spruced up the toilet blog too!

Ogg the Caveman said...

Speaking of toilet-related issues, is that a giant turd that Hanuman is holding in the sidebar?

ogg, that's probably butterscotch pudding.

This is more my style: bachelor Christmas trees.

No, it's a large turd baked with paprika!
