Randomness and musings

zouzounakiGuess it's time to update as I haven't in a while since I've had the flu; came down with it a day or so before Christmas Eve and thought it was just a cold until it finally hit me in full, yes, right on Christmas Eve. The damned thing is, my sister had had the same bug and had just recovered from it when I started showing signs. Now she's getting all fussy because I'm not getting over it as well as she did -which is saying a lot, considering her almost nonexistent immune system! I've been hopped up on Robutussen which, I tell ya, is freakier than any substance I've personally put into my body! ;-p
Ann herself's been a little off. I'm thinking it's cos we're in a new place for Christmas, because we broke away from any last physical remembrances of our parents that we had, that she missed them particularly this year. I don't think she quite knows how to deal with it, now that it's completely over, we've sold the house and all parts of that life are gone. On a whim, I had bought her The Munsters -her favorite show when she was little- first season dvd set, thinking it was just like a throw away thing but she told me yesterday that it's really helped her get along with things; I guess it's true what they say about stuff from your childhood soothing you when you're lonely or heartsick.
As for actual Christmas booty -erm, loot, not... yeah-, I made out like a bandit this year, mwahahahaha! Gots me a bevy of books, a few bits of Star Wars merchandise (almost a requirement for my Christmas!), as well as some really cute novelties like a Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch) with a Santa hat and scarf who rocks out to 'Sleigh Ride' and a SpongeBob alarm clock to sit on my new nightstand. My sister gets the smart ass award for getting me the Abercrombe and Fitch shirt that says 'Give Me Something to Scream About'; what can I say, she knows me too well!
We had duck for Christmas dinner (and thank GOD my sister-in-law was there to help my sister and that's all I'll say on the subject...) which was interesting and new! Wish I could have tasted it, as sick and congested as I was. Le sigh. It's sad to know it's ending now and that soon my LJ format will go back to normal and nekkid Santa'll have to wait another year to be let out again! I was getting rather fond of him, like my mascot, though Ann commented archly the other day, 'Does this mean you're finally getting rid of that thing?!' Heh!
So, now I'm sat around the house, contemplating the WiseAss and wishing I had my Hornblower-related tape and dvd collection unpacked, though I did managed to find Wonderful You which had gotten packed seperately so I could get my greg Wise fix (though, unfortunately, as much of an ass he plays -and a sex machine- you don't actually get to SEE his ass. You see Richard Lumsden's though. Shudder!)
Am anxiously awaiting a copy of Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion (thanks to the very good graces of wonderful friends and tape fairies alike!), but I'll be a good girl and be all patient-like ;-)
In the meantime, I think it's time to write me some HHaH Secret Santa smut! If I can't watch the WiseAss, I can at least evoke it through pruple prose! ;-)
Peace, Ghani
