THE YEAR OF THE TIGER WAS USHERED IN WITH MUCH FOOD:

cheese wontons
spring rolls
fried tofu
spicy chicken wontons
----
royal beef
peking duck
dried hot chinese string beans
general tso's shrimp
vegetable lo mein
taiwanese basil chicken
young chao fried rice

Yeah, baby, I think we glutted. [livejournal.com profile] arsenicjade and I obviously have different peking duck pancake assembling ways. I am fairly sure neither of us are right.

This year saw the congregation of: [livejournal.com profile] earthly_gnome, [livejournal.com profile] idyll, [livejournal.com profile] emquilxy
[livejournal.com profile] sthayashi and the illustrious Emily, and like me and Arsenic and the kidlet. SIR SLEEPS-A-LOT WAS NOT THERE, so we could not reenact the rehearsal dinner fox pass of

Sir Sleeps-A-Lot: (passing Arsenic the shrimp stuffed whole fish) Here, have some fish.
Arsenic: It's not kosher.
Sir Sleeps-A-Lot: (looks at fish) But it's fish.
Arsenic: Alas, still not kosher.
Sir Sleeps-A-Lot: (disbelieving) But it's fish.
Arsenic: It has shrimp, so it's not kosher.
Sir Sleeps-A-Lot: O_o But it's fish.
Arsenic: >:\
Amanda's Future Cousin: Ooooookay, let's get you some rice!

Nevertheless the kidlet was decked out:



Unhappy now, but there were smiles later:


Aaaaaand then for crimmas Gnome and Idyll gave her a pair of Elmo vibrating tickling gloves that play music, for which they must die. But:


I admit, they're pretty funny. They weren't funny when they were pressed to my face at assfuck this morning, singing their song.

ARSENIC: So I had a dream this morning.
AMAND-R: Was Elmo in your dream?
ARSENIC: Sort of yeah. I was the lead singer in a Janis Joplin cover band.
AMAND-R:
ARSENIC: And we were practicing, and I couldn't remember any of the words for the songs because Disney on Ice was rehearsing next door and they were singing the Elmo Song.

But yeah, we got home last night and decimated the pie, then watched PCU and the episode of US QAF where Justin was working as a dancer at Babylon and goes to the party where they drug and almost rape him, because that's as close to hookerfic in the QaF world as you can get. I had two giant glasses of Pimm's and lemonade and alas. No drunkles.

AMAND-R: (tells a convoluted plan to only speak in ways that will force Arsenic to respond by displaying some legal knowledge)
ARSENIC: Now that you've warned me, I think it will be easy to spot
AMAND-R: You won't remember.
ARSENIC: Yah, no, I think my recall is better than yours.
AMAND-R: No it's not
ARSENIC: Saying it doesn't make it true, Amanda.
AMAND-R: You lie.
ARSENIC: Your blurring of the lines of reality and fiction is stunning, and nearly like German Expressionism.
AMAND-R: German Expressionism is an oxy-moron.

ARSENIC: (explaining the hookerfic she is reading) So they take him to the diner and—
AMAND-R: Why is there always a diner?
ARSENIC: Because when you're a whore there has to be a diner somewhere. I dunno. It's a thing.
AMAND-R: (goes into the dining room and types this on the computer)

AMAND-R: (explains the Avatar—otherkin wank) So now, like, these people saw the movie and they're all, "I knew that I was different, but I didn't know until I saw Avatar that I'm a Na'vi trapped in a human body."
ARSENIC: o_O
AMAND-R: Yeah, and the other otherkin are all like, "Back the fuck up, man. I may have the soul of a unicorn, but the Na'vi are from a movie."

She leaves today. SADFACE.

ARSENIC: (tells a sad personal story) and so yeah.
AMAND-R: Awwww. Sadface
ARSENIC: Very true.
AMAND-R: (driving, musing. Opera voice) Saaaaaaaaaad faaaaaaaaaaace.
ARSENIC: Uhm.
AMAND-R: I don't know what that was about.
ARSENIC: I gathered.
AMAND-R: I have no content check for things that leave my mouth.
ARSENIC: It might now surprise you that by now, we've all figured that out.

I will miss you, my dalek squaw.

I DID NOT KNOW THEY PLAYED MUSIC!

That is awesome.

I HEARD THE MUSIC THIS MORNING IN MY FACE.

Dude, though, let down: only one of them vibrates! The other one is just a fuzzy glove. Part of me is pleased and the other part is more pleased. Hah.

Lo these many years ago, when the internet was new and I was already a full grown woman with a full time job....anyhow....one of my co-workers was looking for mailing lists (this predates Yahoo and thus the hunt involved actual thought) regarding professional magazine editorship. Cuz she was a magazine editor. Anyhoe, she found one that had a promising sounding name albeith no description to speak (or read) of. She came to my desk with a look of sheer horror on her face. She'd stumbled upon an otherkin group. I still lol a little when I recall it. She had to be convinced that we didn't need to track them down and call their local Social Services for their own good. (The good of society was a harder argument but I eventually convinced her to leave it be. Oh, fun times, fun times.)

I'm so glad you had so much fun. The wake-up from the gloves aside (and, truly, how long can you stay mad when someone THAT adorable is waking you up?) it wound slike a great time was had by all and that's brilliant!

Sorry. Channeled The Doctor for a moment. I'm better now.

HAAHAHAHH I know that I shouldn't laugh at otherkin, but I do. I mean, I don't think they're sick or anything, I just LOL.

It's probably also important to note that Sir Sleeps-a-lot follows Islamic Kosher traditions, whereas Arsenic follows Jewish Kosher. They're similar but have subtle differences, which of course can lead to hilarity.

Haahahahah I think it is worth noting that the differences are not subtle. Sir Sleeps-A-Lot just thinks they are. LOL

Vivi's watching Cookie Monster! Awww. I will be posting cute kidlet pics, too. Golly, they're adorable! Happy New Year!!!

Haahahahah VIVI IS WATCHING OSCAR!!

She loves them all, actually. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow. I totally saw Oscar the Grouch, and totally wrote Cookie Monster. I wonder if that could work in other capacities? Like, hey, there's my parents' neighbor -- but it's actually GDL, and he's happy to see me!

OMG. Dead from kidlet cuteness. Truly adorable. I don't think my boyz would appreciate me dressing them in the cuteness like you do with her. Although with our heritage I think I need to find some lederhosen, or a tweed cap and jacket.

Jealous of your spread for the Chinese New Year, sounds yummy! As I have some sort or upper respiratory death plague, we are doing VD more low-key, homemade pizzas. For which I should get off of my tuchus and get the dough started and obtain our toppings.

Yeah, it's easier to convince her to wear cute chinese clothes than to convince anyone to wear lederhosen.

Wow, I would be like, "FROZEN PIZZAS!"

IT IS VERY VERY GOOD. THE GENERAL. THEY MAKE GENERAL TSO'S TOFU TOO, WHICH IS MADE OF AWESOME.

For sure! Wait, I think hubby said he had lederhosen when he was little.

*evil plans*

That is the norm here, frozen. For a while hubby hath decreed that we make our own pizzas on Saturdays. So we did for a month or so, then life got in the way a bit. Today sounded like a good day to make some they are sooo nummy, the boyz can pick what they want.

She wasn't really unhappy, she was playing with Oscar! He was always my favourite. I never really got the whole Elmo thing. Although now I am trying and failing to envision Oscar gloves...

No wait. I think maybe they are plush rubbish bin lids...

I already miss you, Dalek Supreme. CNY needs to happen more than once a year. Jews have FOUR new years. It's not that much to ask.
