  1. There is an ithyphallic satyr ornament on my parents' Christmas tree.
  2. Suggestion for airport pedestrians: turn signals, brake lights, installed on the shoulders.
  3. Having the right word is much more satisfying than just sleeping around with any old word that comes along. (via @FakeAPStylebook)
  4. Flying South. Making a run for the border. Gettin' out of The Peg.
  5. Early to bed, early to rise. 4:00AM, in fact, to start the trip to GSO.
  6. As per usual, my suitcase is approximately 1/2 full of shoes.
  7. Oh. Hell. Yes. It is "epic day" on TCM. Now that laundry & Zhivago are done, I can concentrate on 'Ben Hur.'
  8. OK, what I really want to know is how Lara/Julie Christie kept her hair looking so nice, despite that cold, dry, Russian air.
  9. Cleaning house, doing laundry, packing...with one eye on 'Dr. Zhivago' on the teevee.
  10. My Bavarian friend Tobe came through with an answer to my (rhetorical) German question: "Schadenfreudengewissensbisse."
  11. Is there some compound German word for "feeling a bit guilty about feeling Schadenfreude"? Because I am experiencing that right now.
  12. Oopsie. When did this "chapter" get to be over 40,000 words?
  13. All I want for Christmas is to eat a decent piece of fresh fruit.
  14. On the importance of archaeological context: http://ow.ly/NFVU (via http://ow.ly/NFWa)
  15. In light of the popularity of 'Jersey Shore,' I no longer identify as Italian-American. I'm Italian/American.
  16. The Starbucks in the library has closed down for the season. I think someone's trying to tell me something.
  17. Star Wars Weather Forecast for Winnipeg says "It's like Hoth out there...climb into a tauntaun for warmth." http://bit.ly/4tKTiq
  18. Blondie finally makes an Xmas carol palatable to me: "We Three Kings" http://bit.ly/7kbN5R
  19. Required viewing for all my female friends! (Some guys will get something out of this too) RT @sarah_haskins: New TWN! http://bit.ly/8HO1P7
  20. Odd ad campaign to encourage tourism at Italian monuments: http://bit.ly/4A4XqG "Se non lo visiti, lo portiamo via."
