Late update today, because we've been stringing lights. Yet again I've been clambering around with a hammer and nails. This time we put lights round the shed roof and on the Christmas tree we bought today. It's a new tradition we have, getting a real tree for the garden, but the lights look so beautiful in the dark. We went to a tree farm and spent a while looking for the perfect tree. Then it was bagged up and we drove home with it spiking me in the shoulder all the way. I also had to carry it home and damn are they prickly. I was digging pine needles out of my clothes for ages. Our house looks so colourful now, I love it.

Also avoided a visit from the in-laws. They were driving onto our estate as we were driving off for our usual Sunday dinner out. I told James to put his foot down and screech away but he wouldn't! Then they stalked us for a while, even following us to the restaurant we went to. I'm just glad that they went after that as there's nothing worse than eating dinner with people that aren't eating and they just watch you.

I'm about to show my ignorance yet again but this political person that Chris was supporting. Who is he and how does he fit in terms of politics in the US? Like, is he from a party opposed to Bush?

Politics in a post, that's not right in my LJ so I'll balance that out by saying how hot did he look! If a little uncomfortable, but still, much with the hotness.

My plans to get the SeSa first draft done this weekend sort of failed after I ended up reading slashfic until way past 3 in the morning last night. I hit all my fandoms, MX, TS, popslash and enjoyed reading them all. I haven't done that for a while so it was fun. Pitch black, the tree lights lighting the room, a cup of coffee at my side and good slash to read. How perfect is that?

John Kerry (who I believe Chris was supporting) is a democrat. He's comparably sane for a politician, and he actually stands a chance of being elected in the Mid-West/South, which makes him one of the more viable candidates.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea who the guy was or why Chris was supporting him.

A comparably sane politician, nice to know there is such a thing ;)

I work for the only sane politician in existence... of course, everbody else thinks he's, er, eccentric :)

Yes, George Bush is a Republican, and Kerry is a Democrat. Kerry is hoping to be the Democratic candidate for the presidency. American politics is very confusing to me! (mind you, Canadian politics is confusing too... Why was Joe Clark Prime Minister for such a short time?)

I just hope that ballots get standardized or simplified for this election!

Ah I see. So Kerry is campaigning just to be a candidate for presidency.

I think all politics are confusing, that's why I keep away from them if possible.

Yay! ^-^

Squee!

Sounds like a great night!

I'm completely ignorant of politics; I've heard the name, but you know as much about him as I do...

Hot!Chris? (okay, that was redundant...) Uncomfy(!)Chris? Any pics? What was he wearing; darn my lack of media exposure!!!

(lol)

It was a great night!

You know you really need to join image_service to get all the hot sdbs pics. Not that it would have helped in this case as Chris pics were on someone else's LJ. I'd send you the file of him but you can't play them can you.

But there's pictures here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/hammerhead22/580967.html#cutid1). In the actual clip he looks embarrassed when the political guy says his name and he sort of stands up and waves a little. Too cute.
