Thanksgiving

I am really good at over eating on Thanksgiving. It is the same every year. I wake up super late so I don’t really eat anything till the dinner. Then there is so much food in front of me that I don’t want to stop. I don’t know why if there is something I like to eat in front of me I will eat it, even if I don’t want it.

That’s probably a big reason I got over Halloween at an early age. I was never very good at saving the candy, and I would always feel terrible after eating so much of it. Thanksgiving is nice because I don’t feel so terrible afterwards, just tired really.

So as for what I’m thankful for... I am thankful for a family, including extended, that I like having holidays like Thanksgiving with.

Twilight Does Not Have Vampires

What is it that you like about sparkling supermen. No, they aren’t vampires, vampires have drawbacks. For example, eternal life at the cost of not being able to go into the sunlight. These stupid twilight guys do not have a single weakness. The only thing that can even moderately hurt them are other vampires and werewolves. I mean they don’t even NEED to feed on human flesh. They can just live off of animals. Just like humans!

So if literally there is no drawback to being a vampire why the hell doesn’t the guy just turn that chick into a vampire at the end of the first book? Obviously she wants to be one, and there are no drawbacks so why not? It would save me a ton of pain because there wouldn’t be 2 more stupid movies coming out.

November

This has seemed like a long year. Although I have been getting very slow to getting these up, and most are short and pointless, I shall not give up on my resolution. The year is almost done I can do this.

Samhain

And so a new year begins. I wrote a somewhat related piece a year or so ago. Perhaps it was longer, hard to remember at this point. In fact, I think it may have been 2 years ago now.

Here is an excerpt from it:

One dark evening I finally noticed the rain. I heard it dancing across the roof of my room, and chiming against the windows. I had a strange and strong desire to go outside and dance with it, like I did when I was young. I went to the threshold of the moist rhythms and removed my tethers to the indoors--my shirt, socks, pants, glasses, even my hair tie--stepping exposed into the storm. The drops were cold and hit my skin with surprising force. I walked out farther, to where I would have room to move my body, and let the music pound into my flesh. I closed my eyes and began to dance. I danced to the south, to the fire, and felt warm. I danced to the east, to the air, and felt lighter. I danced to the north, to the earth, and felt rooted. I danced to the west, to the water, and felt quenched.

I cooked a pretty awesome Samhain dinner for the family this year. It was quite simple too. I cut up a bunch of chicken apple sausages into relatively small pieces and started cooking them up. In a separate small pan I cooked up some red onions and garlic with thyme and basil in olive oil with just a little bit of vinegar. I boiled a pound of Rotini pasta (the twisty kind) and chopped up 2 fresh tomatoes.

When the pasta was done cooking I put it into the bowl with the fresh tomatoes, put the sausages on those, and then poured the onions and garlic olive oil and vinegar sauce over it all and mixed it up good. It came out wonderful.
