Talked to the super. He says he will try to get it fixed next week while I am out of town. I just need to get him a key tomorrow.

But sometimes people do things that make bad days awesome.

My boss came to my desk and handed me a little red envelope. I figure it's my holiday card; last year he gave me a gift card to a nice bookstore.

I take it. And then he raises his hand over the desk divded and plunks a bottle of Hudson Whiskey down on my desk.

Then he plunks another down.

Me: "Holy crap!"

I think I was very loud.

My dad asked me what the best Christmas present I'd ever gotten was. And I had to be honest and say that I thought the toys I loved the most as a kid weren't Christmas presents. And the best Christmas present I remember wasn't mine, but my brother's used Coleco we got when we were in elementary school (My brother wanted an NES, but my parents couldn't afford one, so my aunt gave us her old Coleco.)

The best present I've ever gotten from a friend was the mandolin liret gave me, but that was a birthday gift.

I think this is the best Christmas present I've ever gotten that wasn't from my parents. Because apart from being incredibly thoughtful, it was completely unexpected.

Holy crap I have the best boss ever.

How is everyone else's day? What was the best present YOU ever got?

Because I've been writing on my book! I'm very close to 25K, but I had to rewrite an entire scene to fix it; it didn't work the first time. Or, well, it worked exactly as I wanted it, but I realized it was implausible given modern protocol. And I always am just like, ehh, how many people are really going to care, but I angst more over how implausible the ordinary stuff in my stories is than the extraordinary stuff.

I also took a break tonight to go to some Comic-Con related events and just generally chill along with dianamcqueen. We drew pictures together! arielchan, we went to a bar called Side Bar, and it made me think of you.

I was wondering, do any of the people on my friendslist have a habit of buying clothing or shoes that you are not brave enough to wear? I have a tendency to buy things that are very beautiful and well-made and fashion forward because they are exciting in the store, but then I get them home and I just can't bring myself to wear them in public. I have a lot of shoes like this, beautiful shoes that I feel like I need an excuse to wear.

Tomorrow I get to spend the afternoon at Comic-Con! And I will probably go for a bit this weekend, but it's not nearly as stressful as last year. Is anyone else here going to be there? Let me know!

Generally, things are good. Hello, lovely friends. I love you all!
