I'm on Vacation!

This is my only break away this year over the holidays - I'll be home in Texas over Christmas, curled up alternately with the dissertation or Yuletide stuff. But my time here so far has been lovely! It has so far involved:

-Lots of hand-sewing of a goblin for my newest nephew
-Catching up on The Venture Bros Season 4
-Watching a ton of MST3Ks (we somehow wound up watching almost the Russo-Finnish/Other Scandinavian one, mostly by coincidence, mixed in with a few other classics like Fugitive Alien II and Super Agent Secret Dragon)
-Watching The Wire
-Baking blueberry pie and roasting a duck
-Sleeping
-Chilling with curtana and forthright
-Lounging
-etc

So it has been pretty relaxing and nice! Julie is still in bed and I think Steve is downstairs on his computer or possibly he is grading, so I am lounging about drinking tea and playing on the internet, as you do. Or as I do, anyway.

No big plans today - Arthur is in school so we can be a bit more adult during the day, so maybe more Wire? And forthright has to go in to his work some this afternoon, so it will be just curtana and I. I'm sure we can find some way to pass the time ^-^ Tonight we are going to go see Skyfall, which I am looking forward to :)

For once my travel to get here went pretty smoothly (I flew in to Detroit and we drove across the border to Windsor), and tomorrow curtana and I are going to drive up to Montreal to visit longpig and wererogue and the boys (including the new one, see above re: Goblin :) for a few days, and see Leonard Cohen and such. Then it is back here for a few days (probably catching up on sleep for me - again see above re: tiny nephews),and then back home on Sunday, and work on Monday, boo-urns... Probably you can expect another update before then though :D
