Stuff and things...

[lithera]

I hate crying at work but Calvin and Hobbes is worth that. Looking at the collected strips made me remember how much I loved reading that. And reading the strips in that article made me cry. I remember bawling the first time I read that strip about the little raccoon.

Last night on my way home, the sidewalk reached up and grabbed my foot. I did this weird stagger step dance thing and almost caught myself before crashing into the ground. My right knee is all scraped up and I have a large bruise on my right elbow. Also my shoulders feel odd, like I moved something around in my back. Which is just awesome, let me tell you.

I'm trying to decide where to have New Years. I'm tempted, because the party was so good last time, to have it at Holly's parents place in Lake Tapps. So much blackmail material from that party. It tempts me, it does.

<3 Calvin and Hobbes.
I still have most of the original ones my parents got me when I was growing up.

Ow! I hope all the damage is purely temporary.

Blackmail? There's nothing blackmailable from that party.... nooooothing I tell you. Nothing.

Heh.

Question....

[stef2dope.livejournal.com]

have you happened to see this wonderful creation? It's a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it to get all the stripes in the three hardcover book format as well as having them all be color illustrated and on glossy paper. :0]

You picked up the HC collection? I wants it so much, and Sam's Club has it for $90.

I didn't pick it up. It's just a little too much for me to buy comfortably. I was just reading them while I was at Costco. Land of the awesome.

Ow! Poor you!

You know I was reading the collected books at a friend of mines house and the raccoon strips get me everytime.

Dear Kat,

For the love of people who dearly want to go to your party, could you puh-leeze consider somewhere a titch closer of a drive? I want to spend my New Years surrounded by good friends, but it will be fiercely difficult if at 12:01 I have to leave so I can get home by 3am.

Lurve,
~Tina

It isn't a compromise for anyone except Holly and Max if I have it out there. That is why there would be crash space. I'm just thinking in erms of the fact that there seventeen million times more space there than anywhere else I could have it.

At the moment all this is is consideration. I have no where firmly in mind.

We are also fairly close to them so if excess crash space is needed, our place would be available (provided people didn't mind dogs).

I'm just casting my vote for your consideration.

Tons of room is an attractive feature when you're considering a huge blow-out party, I do understand that.

*bling*

Thought occuring.. procure donations from those friends who are coming.. perhaps $10 a person or so.. and rent a big, roomy penthouse suite somewhere.

I mean, with your normal turnouts of ~40, that is a $400.00 room yer lookin' at..

Mind you, just a thought.

My turnout would drop considerably if I started charging and I'm already pouring $150+ into these parties almost each time I hold them. (Not including generous donations and support from others who help buy alcohol.)

It is a thought but if I can't get people to go to a Con for a day for a party, I don't know how much more successful this will be. I'll float the idea and see what I get back, though.

My house might also be a possibility for 1-2 peeps, depending.

[puppygrrl.livejournal.com]

I just want to say, I love that picture.

Less than three Calvin and Hobbes.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yes.
