• Driving down Chapman in Orange today I saw a woman in a witch costume. By "witch costume" I mean the full Wicked Witch of the West outfit with conical black hat, flowing black garments, weird shoes. I could not figure out what this meant on the day after Thanksgiving in Southern California. As a bonus, the entire effect was ruined by the large neon pink duffel bag she was carrying.
  
  
• The cranberry ginger cherry relish made by salome_st_john is Cranberry Crack.
  
  
• culfinglin is a very cool person and I enjoyed the long convo over coffee today tremendously.
  
  
• The "Holiday Season" has arrived in the traditional way here in Southern California. Today I was tailgated by my first SUV-with-grille-mounted-wreath of the season!
  
  
• My cat has been staring at me a lot lately.
  
  
• The new Pynchon has arrived. I am simultaneously eager to start it and afraid of its bulk. It's like having an entire ten pound cheesecake in the house.

i enjoyed it as well. :) next time, i will endeavor to loom over some people inside until they leave their table; i was beginning to get quite cold, to the point of distraction.

so odd to run into wanda and john, too.

I can proudly announce that I always win at staring contest with my cats... But, why do they stare at us anyway?

Your cat wants to know why you haven't bought and offered her a literal ten pound cheesecake. You know she's worth it.
