What the Hell happened?

I fell off the map for a few days. It happens, I had it coming. I say “fell” because it wasn’t intentional. First, the weekend blundered, Monday and Tuesday were consumed with social events that did no good but waste time and lower my immune system. Wednesday and Thursday were spent in bed with a fever, body fatigue and chills. But today is Friday. A good day, cause its the start of Christmas vacation! At work, nothing really gets done, i get lots of gaudy gifts and a popcorn tin, hopefully I won’t be forced into wearing the elf suit again:

I hate getting sick, more so now because I’ve turned into a workaholic. I’ve managed to ignore every bit of christmas cheer up till now, and gifting has been nothing more than a nonchalant with-recipient after-purchase hand-off. Doesn’t mean I don’t care, I just don’t care for the pomp this year. I don’t have time. It’s totally my fault and I’m sick because I forgot to relax this holiday season, and I should make the time. I’m not even going down to see my folks, we are postponing everything till February.

30 years of LucasFilm Christmas Cards

• /Film: I live down the street from LucasFilm, and I’ve even been in the facilities in The Presidio, but I’m not on the LucasFilm Holiday Card List. For the last 30 years, Lucasfilm has created special holiday greeting cards for its employees and business partners.

And what did ya know that almost all of them were Star Wars themed? I’ve posted the 2007 version, featuring a choral group of storm troopers. Now if each one is a a clone, doesn’t that mean they will all sound the same? hmm…

Check out the rest over at /film.

Jackie Beat: Santa’s Baby

 Yep, its pert near Christmas Time. Hows about a little christmas classic, just with a bit more flair and inappropriateness.  Featuring the loverly Jackie Beat.

Starbucks + (Christmas x Gay)= Totally Gay

Part one of the homo-ness that has come to be expected of me and exerted upon my work population, almost per request, is my addiction to overpriced Starbucks items. I understand Starbucks does not neccesarily scream “fag!” but when you have a custom Starbucks flower arrangement, the rest falls into place. Made by someone I knew who combined his servitude to the *bucks with his previous career as a flower arranger, he only made a few of these to auction off. Mine was a “gift.” The Starbucks Advent Calendar just seemed so commercially ridiculous and expensive that I had to have it. I go to a different staff member each day to let them open and take the truffle inside.

Every season the mug of choice changes, and always from Starbucks. The mainstay mug is a 20oz paper cup replica, with my favorite drink recipe scribbled on the side. I had a bright summer mug, but one morning got the best of me before i could get my coffee and the mug shattered. I died a bit on the inside.

Right now, I’m rockin the peppermint shorty. For Christ’s sakes its only 16 ounces small and yet the cafeteria lady still bitches about how it holds a half pot of coffee… I’ve warned her I will break out the 24 ounce if she keeps it up.

Now, if you look closely in that last picture, you notice that the actual coffee I drink? Its from Wilson farms. Its all about apearances, darling.
