  • So, either Amazon is lying, the US Post Office is lying, or someone has taken my new Kindle from my mailbox. 😭📭

  • Finished reading: Dead Tired by Ravens Dagger 📚
    ★★☆☆☆

    A fun, if silly read, with a lot of puns. 😆 It presents an interesting intersection between science and magic but I wish there was a little more details into the magic system.

  • Pretty decent veggie burger, especially this far out of the City. 🤣🍔📷

  • 🍿 Another favorite, tonight we watched White Christmas. 🎄
    ★★★★★

    Movie poster for White Christmas (1954): Four people in festive red and white outfits pose against a snowy background with the words 'WHITE CHRISTMAS' above them.

  • Currently Listening: A Holiday Carole by Carole King. 🎵🎄

    Album art for 'A Holiday Carole'

    First heard Carole on Gilmore Girls and then bought her compilation album at University. When I went home over the Holiday break and I was listening to it, my mother expressed shock because she listened to Carole when she was my age. 🤣

  • Moved 18.3 TB of data from my Storage server to my Media server; gotta love the “rsync -va --progress” command! 💻🤓 #HappyGeek

  • 🍿 Kicking off the winter movie season with You’ve Got Mail, which is an old Holiday favorite of ours. 🎄

    Modified movie poster for You’ve Got Mail, with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

  • We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. 🎄 We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🤣 📷

  • Finished reading: Imperial Wizard: Ambitions by J Parsons 📚
    ★★☆☆☆

    Somewhat predictable, the second book in the series continues right where the first left off. Events turn out for the best but more than a few questions are raised about how things will go in the future. 🤭

  • Rainy day + lazy cat = nap time 😹💤🐈📷

    Grey cat, in a grey/green recliner, wedged into the side, between the armrest and a pillow, with his head on the pillow and his eyes closed.

  • Finished reading: Imperial Wizard by J Parsons 📚
    ★★☆☆☆

    This was a fun read, a magic users sleeps through what seems to be many cataclysms, awaking to a changed world, one where no one else knows how to use his type of magic.

  • Finished reading: Weeping Of Willows by Brandon Cook 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    The second book of the series, I thought this was going to be predictable but it took some interesting and unexpected turns. I’m excited for the next book in the series (I really hate having to wait for “next books” 😆).

  • Another early morning breakfast with the bestie; between brunches and various thanksgivings / parties, I’m going to put on at least 10 pounds by the end of the year. 🤣🍳📷

    Breakfast sandwich (veggie burger, eggs, and cheese on a biscuit with a little bit of purple colored jam) with a wooden toothpick through the middle, the word 'Vegan' on it, on a plate. In the background is a glass of water and a glass of iced coffee.

  • No SimpliSafe, I don’t “miss you protecting me," if I did miss you I wouldn’t have canceled your service. In fact, if you hadn’t tried to gouge me, forcing me to pay you an extra $15 a month because I had “old” hardware, I’d likely still be paying for your service. 🤭

  • Date Night: Burgers (in my case, a veggie burger) @ Red Robin. 😋🍔📷

    Two plates on a dark wood table, on two oval-ish white plates; fries on both of the plates but the plate in the foreground has a knife on it, as well as a burger.
