“Hey! The Great Escape just started.”
“Steve McQueen can’t make it over the big German gap!”
Just start baby. Please start. Yosh!
“Anyone know any manga with cat girls?”
“Cat girls? Not my taste. Good luck.”
Hmmm. Yozakura Quartet.
Worst lamb gyro ever.
“Mmmm. Pralines and cream milk shake.”
“Yuck. Pralines and cream milk shake.”
Anime? Miyazawa!
The poster for Four Christmases features the stars, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, bound up in ribbon. You wish that you were bound up yourself to help avoid seeing this movie.
It’s about a couple, living in sin, not married, because they can do what Sally said, “Make love on the kitchen floor,” whenever they want. What they want is to avoid their relatives for Christmas by jetting out to Fiji. Unfortunately, not all goes according to plan. They end up having to go to all their parents’ house to visit for the day.
The parents are each divorced, which means that the couple doesn’t want to get married because they’ll just end up as their parents. Of course, with Christmas they get a warm welcome and realize perhaps being just a couple isn’t so worth it. The movie re-establishes traditional family values of marriage and kids as the end all be all of a loving relationship. Who cares? You knew that was coming. The stories were never funny enough. There was plenty of star power. In fact I was pleasantly surprised to see the boy named Sue show up as a reunion for the Swingers dudes.
Eh! I just didn’t find this funny or worth it at all.

Okay. Here’s one of the things I got for Christmas. It’s the IJN Haruna from Hasegawa in 1/700 scale. It’s a full hull model which I don’t have any experience at doing. The last full hull model I attempted was my brother’s Bismark and that burned down in flames.
She’s a very interesting ship. She’s sister to the Kongo, whose name lives on in the JMSDF Kongo DDG-173, a modern day Aegis guided missile destroyer. This is another class of ships I want to build.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
If we were living in one of the Commonwealth nations that owe their existence to the UK, then today would be our Boxing Day. Instead we live in the US and today is returns day. Or finding a better gift day. Or getting ourselves the gift we wanted day.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
Night Before Christmas, Clement Clarke Moore
Kids, in a few hours he’ll be on his way!
