D'you know how difficult it is to get a library card when you haven't got a proper address? And by proper I mean something other than "that broom closet in City Hall."

I think I could dance the Nutcracker stuff in my sleep by now. I swear, next year? I go for the experimental production, not the traditional one.

I know it's been a week, but I think I've finally gotten rid of all the leftovers. I'm glad everyone who came to Thanksgiving at Arches enjoyed it. It was a great time.

She didn't really mean to do it. Okay, it would have been insanely stupid if she'd meant to do it, but it was a mistake anyone could make, really.
Anyone who could fly, y'know. And couldn't control their flying when they were happy.
She'd been wandering around the Space Needle when the phone call came, telling her that her professor had loved one of her designs so much, he'd submitted it to a big named brand. And they wanted to mass produce it and sell it. Someone wanted her design on the catwalk and then on the rack in some prissy high-end store. Her designs.
She'd been flying - literally - when she realised she was far too close to the Space Needle - too close - and then hit it hard, the happiness disappearing.
And with it, her ability to fly.
She dropped to the ground, screaming, hitting the pavement within seconds.
By the time her heart restarted itself, her bones aligned themselves and she opened her eyes, she was about to be bagged. And then she was just being strapped down ("Just in case you damaged your spine," said a paramedic, which was stupid because she was pretty sure she had broken her spine) and rushed off to the hospital.

One more week of shows after this one and I'm officially on winter hiatus until mid-January.
Sevens aside I anticipate my usual fidgeting, Marissa and I have pretty much done everything we wanted to with the house.

I know it's not a seven but maybe we should organise a big Christmas dinner on the Complex too. Everyone I know who did Thanksgiving there had a great time and on the off chance the city did decide to leave us any gifts it might be safer.
What do people think?

Aside from the turkeys that really was very nice.
And I got a tiny break from work. Not that I don't love my work - I do - but a break is always welcome.

I need more of those models. I think I could really do something spectacular with like, six or seven. And a lot more space.
Should I sacrifice my living room in the name of a super coaster?

I keep marveling at things like meals with my wife and holidays with my wife. I wonder how long it's like this?
Anyone? Does this last?
I'm even looking forward to the impossible present quest.

I've just realized how many people I promised to send a card or something for Christmas.
I think I need to start writing now so everything will reach the right places in time. Or just give up and wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope they get there in time for that.

prolix
\proh-LIKS\
adjective
1 : unduly prolonged or drawn out : too long
2 : marked by or using an excess of words
There's no way to talk about "prolix" without being redundant, verbose, and wordy. That's because the word is a synonym of all of those terms. Of those words, "prolix" is the one most likely to suggest unreasonable and tedious dwelling on details. It derives from prolixus, a Latin term meaning "extended" or "copious." Prolixus originated from a combination of the prefix pro- (which means "forward") and the past participle of liquēre, a verb meaning "to be fluid." True to that history, something that is prolix flows on and on.
I do believe I have a tendency to resemble this remark. Although I hope that my attention to details is neither unreasonable nor tedious.

Turns out my cousin is one smart dude. Of course, I already knew that.

Is it wrong to think it would have been fun to pit the rabid turkeys against the rabid shoppers on Black Friday?
