Hello and Happy Hanukkah to anyone reading my friends list who celebrates. The holiday is off to fabulous start. First up, I have thank yous to [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn and [livejournal.com profile] powrhug! Madelyn was my gift giver for [livejournal.com profile] hohohos and I now have an awesome string theory book as well as Forever on the Mountain by James M. Tabor. I think [livejournal.com profile] kaelie rec'd this book a few months ago. It's been on my wish list since then and now it's mine! From [livejournal.com profile] powrhug I have a gorgeous menorah pendant from an esty artist. The base is a scrabble tile and I love it. I'm going to wear it for all eight days of Hanukkah.

Last night I had a holiday dinner with my friends Anne and Jill. Anne had a menorah set up for me so, even though it was a night early, I was able to light the candles among friends. We had the yummiest dinner. Salad with avocado & crab meat, goat cheese & shrimp stuffed poblano peppers, and chocolate pecan pie for dessert. YUM. For Hanukkah, they had a star named after me!! YAY! I stopped at a frame shop today to have the certificate framed. It was such a perfect, thoughtful gift!

Today I met a friend (who thinks we're dating) for coffee and "Milk." Milk was fantastic. Sean Penn is so good that I almost don't give him the credit he deserves because I'm so used to see him completely melt into a character. I was supposed to go to a friend's solstice party tonight but his daughter is sick so I expect I'll binge on more of The L Word instead.

Call me shallow but Carmen is my favorite. Though, actually, even though she's the hottest she's also the cutest and the sweetest.









This clip is the best example of how Carmen combines sexy and adorable. (You'll get a "may not be suitable for minors" warning from Youtube so consider it NWS.)

Here's a link to video of Viggo on Bloomberg TV promoting "Good" which finally comes out 12/31. Between Milk, Frost/Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Good, my holiday movie season is set.

And I see that Sci-fi is running a ST:TNG marathon on Christmas day! I know how I'll be spending my morning. (though, bizarrely, the e-mail from sci-fi announced that there will be four new episodes. What?)

That's about it. Sundays are so much better when I know I'm off in the middle of the week and I get to see [livejournal.com profile] carta and [livejournal.com profile] kiffle when it's through. \o/

ETA: Apparently I posted this three times while I was writing. Oops.
