Forensic spill investigator is one of my skills as a daddy.

1974’s Black Christmas is turning out to be a nearly perfect spn junk food movie. (it even has Kier Dullea in it.(?!))

(Black Christmas is on Neflix InstantWatch if you want a slasher flick set at Christmas time.)

Paul Haggis’ Crash was our xmas movie tonight. On my list of films I cannot live without. Here’s Ebert – http://bit.ly/d9QhN9

Why did we never think before to get take-out burgers from Chili’s for spn? With some Murphy’s Irish Stout? Hm. Price, probably.

O.M.G. LED display, even. ProVari Variable Voltage Electronic Cigarette http://www.provape.com/ProVari-Variable-Voltage-p/provari.htm

@CoffeeAdventure Because it’s there!

.@CoffeeAdventure I love the art&science of making coffee so most coffee I drink is probably a side-effect of loving to craft it 😉

@CoffeeAdventure I just quit smoking a month ago, so now everything I make tastes hardly recognizable to me so it’s like starting over……

@CoffeeAdventure …so, it’s I’m even trying different water. Just in case.

@CoffeeAdventure I’ve done various spring waters over the years (and do a lot of descaling) but I am sort of resetting with some RO for now

@CoffeeAdventure I’m trying to go to the simplest of as many variables as possible then start working up/better again.

@CoffeeAdventure BUT I’m a big fan of good water and tell people all the time it’s at least 95% of the coffee, so it’s where one must begin

@CoffeeAdventure (but, i’m not plumbed in or anything – i use bottled but very picky. In this town, Fuji’s about the best I can get.)

@CoffeeAdventure (I’m indefinitely but not permanently stuck in a tiny town in middle of nowhere, not ABQ (Albuquerque, NM) at this time)

@CoffeeAdventure btw, pleezdameetcha http://www.flickr.com/photos/insidious_plots/sets/72157621688607726/ I’m a, uh, seasoned veteran 😛

"Baby, It’s Cold Outside" is so exquisite, yet I’ve never heard a version as good as the song itself. I complain EVERY year.

And every year I say I’m gonna do a blog post, with all my complaints in detail, with examples. Someday I actually will.

(Yes, these are the sorts of little nagging things that plague the unquiet mind of christopher 😛 #royalwe )

.@don_rivers Coincidentally, that’s been my fave version the last couple years (never saw the movie, assume you mean Zooey D & Leon Redbone)

RT @sween: I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. Told Daddy. Now I get *two* Christmases!

Wow. Westboro ("baptist church") has people on twitter now? Yikes.

RT @Rachelrt: Just how much trouble can an almost 16 year old get into? Im pretty sure my son is trying his hardest find out

She never drinks the water; makes you order french champagne.

5v vaping some nhaler.com high voltage pralines & cream – tha bomb! 🙂 Watching Scrooged, wondering how someone can drink Stoli and Tab.

So, Aronofsky didn’t write Black Swan. Hrm. Not necessarily a death sentence. But, we’ve waited how long for a directed AND wrote from him?

Drinking a dandy little shiraz WAY too fast, cooking dinner, while Terra and Wesley build our new 6 foot (?!) xmas tree, cranking xmas punk!

SQUEEEE!!! @AskPlayStation: PSP camera now available [snip – who cares ubout the dumb games?!] Learn more here: http://bit.ly/csyh6U

Best. Night. Ever.

Winter Wonderland by the Cocteau Twins on The Cutting Edge of Christmas seals the deal – it’s the only station I’ll need all year!

Wow. The coffee cup ornament my ex-wife gave me (shortly after she declared her desire to be such) just got opened and hung on the tree.

@don_rivers Nah, it just just slides up and down in quality. Sometimes a very action-packed scene starts getting a little blocky.

Our Christmas tree 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/8Z3TCN

@don_rivers WTF? Since when do you have a projector? You been holding out on me? 😉 Alas, my schedule won’t allow it, bed time is soon 🙁

@don_rivers when i was a kid, my dad repaired airplane movie projectors for a living, so our tv was the test model he kept at home 🙂

@don_rivers it was one of those huge three-lens jobbies that projected an image that took up a whole wall. Not HD but good times for ’83 🙂

Wesley’s (he’s 5) Big Present this year is gonna be a bicycle. Should be straightforward, but any tips from experienced parents?

Wesley’s also getting LEGO Batman for his PSP (he loves LEGO Star Wars and Batman) and a night light that shines stars on his ceiling.

Terra just pointed out that today is 3 years since we met. In a hospital. Where I was with my dad. And she was his nurse.

a THIRD version of Adam Sandler’s Chanukah song?!?!?! There is something fundamentally wrong in the universe.

If I were to have an arch-nemesis it would be Adam Sandler. Punch-Drunk Love shows what he could do if he wasn’t a total and complete putz.

My name ees Jose Jimenez? http://tinyurl.com/35lsbcr #sorry

Rats. Googled it, just realized I screwed it up – it’s more like "My name…Jose Jimenez". Well, I’m too young to get that joke anyway 😛

Ungh, please stop shouting, kitties; my head hurts.

Still dreaming of a steampunk mod on a vapo. A little bellows on the tip that starts moving when I press the button would be perfect.

I see my tweets haven’t been posting to Facebook again. I therefore again conclude Twitter > Facebook. /"It’s a jump to conclusions mat!"

Lost in Translation is out on Blu-ray today??!!

🙁 looks like the Lost in Translation blu-ray only has the stuff on the dvd. Including no commentary.

Tip: Don’t believe the Pizza Hut guys when they say your order will be ready in 15 mins if a football game is on!

@Mr_Wicked yeah, I’m following and have very little hair left, watching the yo yo, waiting for just the right moment to checkout.

@Mr_Wicked remember the guy in One Crazy Summer, trying to win the radio contest? Yeah, that’s me. Everyone’s sick of hearing about it 😛

@Mr_Wicked and I bought a big shipment to help my GF’s parents quit smoking the day BEFORE the yo yo started! Hook me up for my bad luck?

@Mr_Wicked I’m all xmas shopping and constantly reloading the page on my phone, watching the yo-yo, while my gf complains 😛

Follow @Mr_Wicked (of http://totallywicked-eliquid.com ) if you have any interest in vaping. The yo-yo sale can drive you insane, too.

Sitting down to watch a movie, wishing my usb passthrough eGo/Tornado was already here so I could 5v vape during the movie. Sigh… Soon.

@don_rivers it fluctuates quality during the movie, usually at least Hi SD and sometimes hitting HD levels – you can turn on an info display

@don_rivers sometimes stable HD the whole time but mom usually is also doing high bandwidth stuff on her ps3 in her room (Netflix or PSHome)

@don_rivers But, I am REALLY impressed with VuDu’s peer-to-peer "HDX" performance. Stable HD&5.1. Caveat: only tried VuDu once and……..

@don_rivers ….and we get so little movie time we’ve still only watched Netflix IW in the living room a few times and only a couple were HD

WHAT??!! Aronofsky has a new film out?? Ok, Darren, you have just one chance to make up for The Wrestler *spits* or we’re over.

have the DVD and even the LaserDisc 🙂

Uh oh. Twitter didn’t like my post. I’ll alter and try again.

And, for crying out loud, put Pi out on blu-ray already! Already have the DVD and even the LaserDisc 🙂

The genius of Darren Aronofsky = Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain. Then… The Wrestler??? Hopefully it was a studio contract thing.

.@prdpgn if you haven’t seen Pi, it is most certainly a geek cult classic. A "mathematical thriller" – best watched sleep-deprived 😉

The Cutting Edge of Christmas is playing a Christmas song by The Pipettes – didn’t even know they did one. This station just gets better 🙂

HA! By odd coincidence, you can see for yourself. @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 12/6 is "The Wrestler" http://fb.me/Cevafznj

I’m not saying The Wrestler was especially bad (though, it wasn’t personally my kind of flick), it’s just a drastic departure for Aronofsky.

Walgreens and dollar store for stocking stuffers, and now a cheesy bites pizza to go, heading home for a Christmas movie. Ahhh, Sunday 🙂

@prdpgn 😀

Gettin’ some KFC for SPN 🙂

Kitties want Terra’s KFC dinner http://flic.kr/p/8YcBLS

Terra says she is enjoying her kfc so much, she wants to roll around in it. All I had in mind was to lick the plate when I’m done.

After-dinner vaping some HV pralines & cream from nHaler on my eGo. Dee-lish! Have a usb passthrough eGo on the way for 5v vaping joy! 🙂

Got a couple Jack Link beef steaks and put one in each kitty’s stocking. They’ll love that 🙂

Well, rats. Netflix IW doesn’t have either of the Leslie Nielsen xmas movies that were recommended to us for spn.

BUT, All I Want For Christmas (with Leslie Nielsen) is a $2 rental on VuDu. I love all these streaming movie choices. *huggles my PS3*
