J:
We just got back from a little birthday party for Terry Aquino at the New
Deal Cafe. That was entertaining, but I've got to remember to keep away
from the "vegan sloppy joe". It's not all that great compared to other
vegan dishes there. The chili, for instance, is slobbery good. They should
make slobbery joes with the chili.
Last
night we went to Constantia and Sean's place for a tree decorating party.
She made what looked to be delicious chicken and salmon pot pies, and yummy
pasta for the veggie eaters. Her house is very nice, and the room that
the tree sat in was perfect for a christmas tree. Our friend Neva entertained
a little kid with this song that for some reason I never heard before.
It's sung to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider:
Alien
face hugger clamps upon your face
Sticks
a tentacle down your throat and lays an egg in place
Crawls
off to die and leaves the egg to hatch
which
spurts right out of your belly with a great big splash
Of course,
while she sang it her hand crawled up to the kid's face, then her finger
traced a wiggly path down to the kid's belly, the hand crawled away, then
returned quickly to "burst out" of the belly. I like that song. I think
the kid did, too. I folded some origami stuff and even decorated the tree
a little.
On
Sunday night we went to Dave and Diane's last dance night (except for their
upcoming Xmash bash). I geeked out with Greykell and swapped palm stuff.
I also danced half a dance, while Kory played piano. It was a triple swing
with Gina and Jenny. Lots of folks are going to miss that ballroom, and
the house. The house that D&D are moving to sounds very interesting
though. It's sort of a J shaped thing with a frog pond in the courtyard
within the hook of the J. Parts of the house were built in the 1850s, if
I heard correctly.
On
Saturday, and Sunday, Gina sold pottery at a craft fair at the community
center. Apparently her guild sold a lot of pottery. She took some pictures
of some of her stuff, and I actually managed to get them uploaded. Woo
hoo!
 On
Thursday we got a nice snowfall; I skipped work and tromped around in the
woods until my feet were soaked. Booda loved the snow, but had the usual
problem with ice building up in between his toes. He'd stop every fifty
feet or so and chew on his paws. Some neighbors happened to have some doggy
booties that their dog wouldn't use. We put them on Booda and he loved
them! He ran all over, and then took off through the woods, and we tracked
his footprints. Unfortunately, he lost two of the booties. Later we tried
to use squares of fabric kept on with rubber bands, which seemed to work
well at first. Again Booda loved them and seemed to know that they were
helpful items, but the makeshift booties didn't stay on. We'll probably
keep working on boot designs though, because he likes them so much.
