Real Life: December 4th - 6th

There are approximately one billion things being planned for this holiday season, and this first December weekend is no exception. How are you doing on your holiday prep? We've got the decorations up in the living room, the tree is trimmed and the stockings are hung, but Bug has decided that makes the rest of the house not festive enough, so we may be trying to remedy that. The gift situation is in a woeful state at the moment, but I am hoping that by the powers of the internet I can get some presents out to California for our early Christmas/new niece visit next weekend. Till then...

Tonight: YGM has requested India's Rasoi for dinner, and I'm seconding it. Who am I to deny the delights of the Vegetarian Feast? Afterward, please head over to the Royale where I'll be spinning records under the twinkling Christmas lights. There'll be some Christmas jamz and and a special late night visit by our favorite bearded elf, Mark Early.

Tomorrow: Christmas presenting, card writing, eggnog sipping, and generally preparing for a cool Yule. I'd be up for dinner/drinks in the evening, if anybody's interested. It doesn't even have to be holiday themed.

Sunday: Laundry, more holiday business.

Tonight: unless there's some kind of Christmakkah miracle, I'll be at home, continuing to blow my nose and wait for this horrific cold to run its course. Ug.

Rest of weekend: Maybe exploring whether Lil'chop will pull down a Christmas tree on himself or not. Maybe removing/organizing crap in the attic in preparation for the start of construction up there next week. Maybe babysitting my wee nephew. Maybe I can see a few friends on Saturday night for dinner or something. Oh, and I wanted to see Fabulous Mr. Fox, but not if I'm blowing my nose every five seconds. In summary: my weekend is utterly dependent on the power of my immune system.

Tonight, LoveyLime and I will be listening to some Xmas Jamz around 10ish.

Saturday, attending an employee party with LL...and another family party with LL on Sunday.

I am going to relax a lot, for I did my decorating last month, and everything is wrapped up and ready for the holidays. We just need some Penzey's hot cocoa mix and our slippers. See some of you soon!

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Today: writing my annual employee self-appraisal. Anyone wanna do that for me? Ugh.

Tonight: Jamz, plz.

Tomorrow: class, cleaning and organizing for the impending holiday, fun with pals later?

Sunday: Work. Pop-out stuff with Xian and his family.

Don't forget that Megan's fashion-show-thingee is this coming Thursday!

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Tonight: Adam Watkins' "True Love Will Find You in the End" at Three Sinks Gallery in Webster. Then, kicking the Jamz at the Royale (I may even bring my Jams/KLF record).

Tomorrow: Working and maybe going to the Royale Chili Dinner. I think I have something else planned but am forgetting what.

Sunday: Is it the Ziezo Xmas Jam?

get well soon, coral!

tonight: i am playing trombone at a poetry reading.  at the very least, it will be entertaining.

tomorrow: criminal procedure practice questions.  i'd love to cruise cherokee for the big print fair, but studying likely will get in the way of such unadulterated fun.  that evening, my friend jason's housewarming party.  apparently, there is a jacuzzi.

sunday: reading property law.  proper.

Also, does anyone want to go to brunch at Rooster on Sunday? I can't promise free mimosas or stuffed olives, though.

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

If YGM requests India's Rasoi, who am I to deny him his wish. I will be there, possibly joined by Pingotsis, but not sure yet.

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

As usual, I have had no council on this with the better half of me, so subject to change.

Tonight: Probably still trying to warm up from spending 2 hours of this morning outside sifting through crates. Rasoi might be as good a place as any to do that. Either way, definitely bringing a lot of toast to the Royale later to sop up all that Jamz.

Tomorrow: Cherokee street festivities: print sales and cookie walk. Will probably be walking around with an Irished coffee or the like, just to make it interesting. Getting a late start on Christmas decorating and other projects.

Sun: More of that. Anybody wanna go look at Christmas lights?

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Mark--Ziezo party is indeed this weekend. No confirmation of a guest appearance by Jena yet. Whether or not I and/or Liz (the tall one) are there depends on work and/or Xian!

No brunch for me this week, but I would be able to do it the Sunday after that, I think?

Friday, December 04, 2009 1:25 PM by DeManda Tension

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Ooooh. Print/cookie walk! I may do that after class.

How about robot polar bears and/or lights on a different, non-this-Sunday night? Monday? Wednesday? Next Sunday?

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

I'd do Candy Cane Lane or the like on Sunday night. Those lights are nice and close to my house.

Mark, what time do you do brunch? Dave loves Rooster, but I love sleeping in. I may be persuaded by the promise of a Finnish pancake, however...

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

onight:  indian sounds amazing, it always does!! later, i will be bringing the toast with raygun!  i love me some jamz, especially the kind from dj hotpants or dj early's cupboards!

saturday:  prints and cookies on cherokee! after, helping make our home, the most wonderful home, of the year!  

dinner in the evening sounds lovely!  the chili dinner at royale did sound yummy!  

sunday: i am waiting for raygun to post something about the highway 40 happenings on sunday!  we will be walking on 40 in the afternoon!

i do have a christmas party with the Anthro department  from

7-9,  but that doesn't mean i can't cut out early for the much anticipated Ziezo holiday party!   we've missed too many in the past!

tomorrow - cheerokee prints and family visits.  

sunday - cutting down my first live xmas tree.  woo hoo.  decorating the redbird house and then heading up to the big swanky party at nordys in the eve.  (i'm working the door if you want to sneak in for free booze and food)

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Hotpants - Late morning/early afternoon.

Deer - How swanky? I'd love to crash a swanky party.

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

OK, I am counting 6 for dinner at Rasoi. If anyone else wants in on this reservation, let me know before 5pm 'cause that's when I'm calling the restaurant.

Also, JAMZ.

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

My record-spinnin' name is gonna be "DJ Early Cupboards."

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

FYI, YGM is still in for Rasoi, but Pingotsis won't be joining us until later at The Royale.

Friday, December 04, 2009 3:19 PM by Young Guy Maddin

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Can't find anything so far on the Dogtown/40 bash. All hearsay at this time.

I was also thinking "DJ Early Cupboards" needs to be put into use. Nice work.

Professor, chic and I have the same relationship as you and Dave do with brunch vs. sleep. But we always finnish our pancakes.

Sunday is crazier than I ever imagined. Mark, we can cook up party-crashing identities over brunch.

Friday, December 04, 2009 4:11 PM by raygun

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

Won't be at Jamz or anything tonight. I have a sinus infection and feel like crap. I got some meds, though, so I will feel better soon!

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

nada. see you tomorrow!

# re: Real Life: December 4th - 6th

This is _zz, kicking it GL old-school from Ima's PC. Our plan is to join you all tonight for dining at Rasoi, so do count us in, s'il vous plait.

NB: Ima's PC is crusty with food: crumbs twixt its buttons, spots caking its controls, and so on. My nagging won't fix Ima's bad habit (viz., to chow down, slob fashion, using this PC as a napkin). Pals, aid your old bud _zz in nagging his missus to abandon this odious habit!

I'm going to go barf now.
