Writer's Block: Deck the Halls!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

There was a time when I was growing up when the household was festooned with Christmas trappings. Now that I'm on my own and I have two cats, I only have a few decorations: I have a three christmas items on or about the mantle: a very big snow globe my aunt and uncle gave me, an old-fashioned angel doll, and a pillow that says "jingle bells". You wind it up and it plays a little tune. The manager scene is preserved inside the globe. It's definitely my loudest item of christmas flare. I also have a 4-foot (faux) tree that I decorate, and then the cats molest. I also have a wreath on my door.

And after that, I'm spent, as far as Christmas highjinks goes. :-)

Intersting WGA Strike Article

WGA Strike Primer from the HuffPo. What do y'all think? This article comes out about the same time that Letterman is pushing negotiations with the WGA to do new shows in January. Leno is coming back without writers. This article doesn't sound very optimistic for the WGA.

I approved of the finale of Dexter.

Now I guess I will now discontinue my premium channel subscriptions on Cable. No need of them for now.
