I wish you guys knew how much I loved The Grinch; not the story, per se, but the actual Grinch, himself.

He does good work.

^i agree, he would win against that klaus guy

Starcat · 07.18.2012, 01:52 AM

Okay big-man. I want an unlimited dataplan for my phone, a sweet PA, at least 50 pairs of black 29x34 jeans, an original Daydream Nation record, a shitton of guitar pedals, and a kitten

Nefeli · 12.11.2012, 10:51 AM

too much loling to me, for bumping a xmas thread right now. LOL

cannot 'feel' it anymore. its been at least 4 years now.
and now i m also what? and this close to start getting irritated by people posting all the time about it.

LOL

funny thing is that my mate has his place decorated over a month now.
we can see outdoors and he has all these beautiful lights and shit
and i told him 'damn aint feeling it again, even though i see this almost everyday here'.
he said, 'me too, i USED to like them, i dont anymore'.

hopefully i get laid this christmas. laid to rest.

Genteel Death · 12.11.2012, 03:39 PM

None of us at home are going home for xmas this year, and besides, one of my flatmate is from India and is not used to celebrating this festivity, so we'll be spending it together. My bf, who's also from India, might be able to fly from Bangalore to London for a few days, so it should turn out to be a good one.

Bangalorax?

Genteel Death · 12.11.2012, 04:06 PM

He spent the past month in your neck of the woods for work and in early December.

Genteel Death · 12.11.2012, 04:20 PM

I need to check if he dumped me already though.

Last night we had Finals Mania at Univ. of Houston. The Library Administration with help from the University, puts on a one night event to give the kids some fun and some food for studying during the week before Final Exams.

About 1600 students got free snacks, fresh made pancakes, with syrup, butter, apples, strawberries, and whipped cream if they wanted, plus coffee, hot cocoa, orange juice, water, etc.
It was a lot of fun. UH is a very ethnically and nationally diverse campus, with students from everywhere in Asia, Africa, south America, Europe, etc.
There were several students who had no idea what pancakes with toppings were, and looked confused as they made their way around.

One guy, who I believe was from Pakistan, said as he held up his plate for more strawberries in syrup, "I love your American food!"

Hilarious.

Our President, Renu Khator, is a bad-ass lady, originally from India, and always comes to all functions. she was very put off when I asked if she wanted butter on her pancakes, asking, "You put butter on your pancakes?" to which my boss shook his head as if he too did not like butter on pancakes. I told her "don;t listen to him. he's from England!"

I love butter on pancakes.

It was a lot of fun. But I did not get much sleep last night.

If he's told you Bangalore is anywhere near Texas, you should be worried.

floatingslowly · 12.11.2012, 04:28 PM

Rob: in Oz, they use ice cream instead.

agreed.

Bangalore, while I know is an actual geographic place, sounds like a hip hard-gay lounge in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston!

Genteel Death · 12.11.2012, 04:45 PM

I don't even think he can fathom the idea of American cuisine to begin with.

It'd sound more like that if I was more predatory in my own neighbourhood.

90 mins to go until I get to enjoy 12 days off and I don't have to think about global rent payment processes...I am going to try and get to the guitar store before it closes tonite and buy myself a Boss loop pedal for my distortion bass - the best part is the East Village really feels like a village for about 48 hours around the 25th, there is hardly anyone around and those who remain are actual residents; the tourists and students are not to be seen.

Tomorrow for lunch, the three of us are headed to my brother's (30 minutes away) for Christmas with my mom's side of the family. Tomorrow night back at our house is Christmas with the big girls and my wife's side of the family......then I go to work.

Saturday is Christmas with my dad's side of the family and also the start of me having eight days off.

damn, that sounds nice!

enjoy & best wishes

ha ha, but seriously, hm, our plan is to stay away from everyone else's plans, have a few drinks, make a fire like every day around here, watch some non-christmas movies (polanski's "repulsion"), eat non-christmas food (maybe make a pizza?), listen to non-christmas music and definitely not freeze. maybe i'll install some gutters.

it's a really enjoyable time when everyone is away cancelling each other out.

Nefeli · 12.25.2014, 03:02 AM

as i ve been seeing it, every last year was better.

my highlight and honestly i ve been looking forward for it more than ever, will be family gathering in few hours at my parents. well, my brother is in London.

anyhoo, had the worst idea ever; to connect the telly this morning.
