Top is the gazing balls in the yard. Bottom is the honeysuckle bower. Snow = pretty.
(Forgive the lack of straightness in the viewport; I am a terrible photographer.)
I guess I got the name of the protagonist in Rashoumon wrong; it’s actually "Menial." Hahaha! Ha? Just me? Sorry.
Some traditional Christmas links:
» Na Wong created this awesome Safari Extension, which single-handedly brings Google Reader out of 2006. Also, they’ve ported Reeder to the big OS, and you can download and use the beta right now. (I’m sticking with NNW for the moment; it is a clunky but functional behemoth.)
» I really like this DIY mason-jar chandelier, and if I weren’t practically guaranteed to burn down my house in the process I would try and make it.
» Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d review it too.
» Your traditional Christmas Lucius Malfoy interview.
» The next time you see some libertardian jackhole talking about how hatecrime legislation is like totally criminalizing thought! in blog comments somewhere, hit the fucker with this. And then remind him that even after Atlas shrugs he will still never get laid, because he is a greasy loser who mistakenly believes that people who can sometimes fix computers are "producers."
» I wish all Blind Items went down like this :[
Seven days! Eeeee!

Like living in The Shire!
Oh, I would that my neighbors were hobbits! Mostly they are mildly retarded rednecks who shoot at passing wildlife and one another for sport.
How much snow have you had there, so far?
For some reason, even though it’s been snowing nonstop for about three weeks there’s been almost no accumulation. I took those photos in a moment of existential yearning for snowmen.
Oh, that wine-bottle light is beautiful! If only I were coordinated/less prone to faceplant on partically-completed craft projects!

I will make you a snowman from ¾ of our snow, and send it to you. It's making it very difficult to get around.

(I’m also thinking I need a new Christmas icon.)

New icon! Kamei Yogorouta?
