Wtf!?

What the frak is up with the Gary Jules's cover of Mad World being used to promote some war video game? Seriously. That doesn't strike me as a shoot-em up kind of song.

I still feel pretty lousy today. Steven ran late today, so I ended up picking up Elliott from school. He had almost all gold stars today and I had to pee, so I told him we could drop by the new Target, ostentatiously to just buy deodorant since I used the Adidas stuff once and immediately broke out into a rash. Back to Mitchum I go. So, of course, I go by the dollar spot and find some snowflake ribbon and snowflake paper and grab that. Then Elliott asked if he could get a small toy. Yea, all right. He picked out a baby giraffe which was thankfully under $4. Then we made the mistake of going by ornaments. I was really good and did not yet buy a Hello Kitty ornament, but I did Elliott pick out his one ornament for the tree here. $17 later...

Even better, as we were leaving, Elliott saw the popcorn, which I admit smelled awesome. Elliott asked and I said no, since we were running late for karate already. He looks at me and says "But Sam, I love food! I'll die without it!" Good try and I thought the woman next to us was going to burst, but maybe next time.

Blah blah blah, karate... Dinner for the kid and McD's and a very late lunch for us. I was tired by then, so I headed home. Part of the drive smelled eeriely of spray fix, which cracked me up for some reason, probably from inhaling way too much of it in high school. Ahh, working the joys of working with charcoal...

I had a fit of inspiration tonight when we got home, so I finished the kissing ball and the toss bouquet. We're meeting with the DJ and the photog next week. Things are finally pulling together a little. Ugh, and I need to make an appointment sometime next week for my first fitting, around the middle of the month. I also need to start breaking my shoes in.

Ugh. Something's outside screaming, probably the fishercat again.

Aren't the cute?

My PSA for the month

Reprinted from jesheckalynn by request:

 Ok new program. For all you crafty people out there.
Around the holidays we sometimes think only of ourselves and what we will get while people out there are suffering. They are cold they have no home.
now I am not asking you to donate your old blankets or money (both would still be nice though.
I am asking yout o have some thought. To do something that shows you actually care.

I am asking you to knit, crochet, or sew a scarf. Thats it. One scarf. And then sometime this holiday season take it downtown or to your local homeless shelter and give it to someone. This should take maybe an hour or two of your time. Its not much, Its cheap, And it really makes you think.

Please please do this. I dont care if you live in seattle or las vegas, unless its completely stupid to have a scarf (like it stays 80 degrees at night) Most everywhere a scarf will be welcome.

A scarf can be used as
1. A hat
2. A pillow
3. a small blankie (if its big enough)
4. a scarf of cource
5. a hand wrap
6. a wrap for a small child.
7. a holder for belongings

And so many more things.
Please please

Something to do with those oddball stash ends, maybe. God, I can't wait till I have leisuretime again.
