...way out on the corner of fucked up and evil...

Finally got to see Krampus, yay! When the gran was in the house alone with him and he reaches out to stroke her face and then his massive long tongue comes out, i totally thought he was going to kiss her. I genuinely thought the plot twist would be that Krampus was the kids grandad and hes been ragging the gran all along and then Krampus, the main kid and the gran'd run off and be belsnickels together.

The movie was pretty sweet as it stands, but I still totally ship Krampus/the gran.

Me: *picks up wrapping paper, stickytape and scissors* im going in the bedroom to do secret biz for a while. Dont disturb me.

Twenty minutes later:

Mike: *busts in like a bespectacled koolaid man* hey baba you want a cup of tea?

Me: *shielding unwrapped presents with my dressing gown* argh get out nosy!

Mike: i thought you were putting on sexy undies

Me: at no point did i gve you that impression

Mike: are they under the dressing gown? *tries to peek*

Me: *trying to hide presents while simultenously not crushing them given that i, the presents, the scissors amd the wrapping paper are now all tangled in my housecoat*

*mike goes away, only to come back every halfhour and rattle the doorhandle and laugh when i swear at him*

Watching the third season of Leverage. Is it just me or is Lindsey's hair actually feathered at this point? Also, the goatee and excessive use of blusher is making my eyes sad. Highlight so far has been watching him pretending to be a miner/mine safety dude and going into a mine without tying it back. NO, LINDSEY. NO.

Leverage Christmas episode - less epic than the Supernatural or Invader Zim ones, but on par with the two that Bones did before the show started to suck. Also, bonus points for having Lindsey in a Santa costume beating up other, evil Santas.

"But Zim and Dib were wrong that day - Santa lives on!"
"In the hearts and minds of us all?"
"No, in space. Gathering power! And that's why we all live in this protective dome."

Best Christmas special EVER.

Oh, Christmas episode of Supernatural! Truly, you are the finest Christmas episode in the history of shows having Christmas episodes. I wish I had a kid now just so I could fuck them up by dressing as Santa on Christmas eve, then brutally murdering their father right in front of them before putting their mangled corpse into a sack and dragging it up the chimney, perhaps stopping for a quick nibble on some festive cookies on my way out.

WHO WANTS TO LEND ME A KID AND A HUSBAND FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR DUDES?

Oh my God, you guys! I have officially THE GREATEST SIBLINGS EVER! Not only do I now have three - count them, three! - Monster Squad mugs, I also have a Frog Brothers one! I squealed, I cried, I licked Corey Feldman's face. Then I choked due to this little nugget:

Jonathan: Sorry it's just the little baby Frogs instead of the grown-up ones from the new movie.
Froodle: No, it's awesome-
William: We were going to get them as old people for you, but the guy with the headband's sword was too big.
Froodle: Seriously, you guys, this is awes- wait, what?
Jonathan: Yeah, in all the pictures from the new one, he's got his sword out and it takes up like two thirds of the shot - we couldn't get it to fit on the mug.
Froodle: *giggles*
Buzz: That sword is fucking stupid, it's like twice as big as he is, whenever they're in a scene together the other dude has to stand behind him so he doesn't get poked.
Froodle: *splutters*
Jonathan: Yeah, he's like, "Oh sorry Corey Feldman, I guess I just won't be in half of the movie because your RIDICULOUSLY HUGE WEAPON is blocking me from the camera! Have fun fighting the vampires on your own, God!"
Froodle: *iz ded*

Christmas Eve-Day... both an Eve and a Day... it's a Christmas miracle!

Woo! Am finally back in Leeds after journey of hellacious proportions. My body still thinks it's on a boat and is rocking back and forth gently, making me look like some kind of traumatised sobbing thing. Once it stops, I am off to eat delicious Chinese food (delivered to my door, in your face inbred inhabitants of Todd!) and perhaps watch the first season of Gargoyles which my delicious brother gave me for Christmas.

Oh Goliath, you so studly.

Oh NOES!

It's December 1st and I've just realised that I forgot to buy an advent calender, again. This is the third year in a row! Woe is me!

In other news, parental units coming to visit on Friday, which means I have to clean and tidy and possibly cook some food. Have therefore spent entire day in the kitchen making two different types of curry (the second one was supposed to be Aviyal but it went wrong), soup and the dressing for goat cheese salad. Cannot absolutely guarantee said food is not poisonous, but we'll probably go out to eat most of the time anyway.

Bookshelves arrived today, finally. Have not set them up as am tired and want only to bathe and rid myself of onionstench. Which is actually what I'm going to do now.

Went shopping for Christmas tack today with Alan and Jess. Living room now illuminated by wire mesh snowflakes, blue icicles and a translucent fibre-optic tree who I like to call Muraki. When you switch everything on, it's almost as bright as having the lamp on.

Also bought set of very tacky pink angel lights, which we spent the evening painting with Warhammer paint. Jessica made Maleficent and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Alan made a robot, an alien and a priest, and I made Crowley, Aziraphale and Legato. Much fun was had by all.

Afterwards we ate takeout and watched Troy, which Alan bought this afternoon, prompting many comments from Jess and I about his love for Brad Pitt in a skirt. Have decided Troy is much better when viewed with accompanying friends commentary, which included:
