Recently I was telling someone how I sometimes go days, then end up commenting like crazy for about skip 500 or something. That's exactly what's happened again, and it's not like I'm doing anything interesting with my time. Just bagging/delivering/picking up those stupid books. Plus, I seem to spend a lot of spare time watching CSI. There's four episodes on a day sometimes, often clashing on two different channels. Which means I have to watch one and record one, so James can still watch what he wants too. I'm a slave to the tv, and it's going to get worse now I'm a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here is starting. Yes I watch, yes I'm that lame.

Yesterday we saw our first house all lit up for Christmas. I have to admit James, Corey and I ended up standing and watching for the longest time. Light up Santas! Lights! Christmas is coming! I bought more cards yesterday, I saw them and they spoke to me, so I had to have them. I guess I should get my address poll done soon then. Give my cards time to get where they're going. You never know, if they're lucky they may bump into the handful of my holiday postcards that are still circling the world.

The local news here has been full of a guy who thought it was a good idea to stick a rocket firework up his ass. Of course someone lit it, and the guy's ended up with a colostomy bag for 10 weeks and may never go to the bathroom normally again. But man, I'm bad person, because in the article he's describing what happened, and says something like I smelt this burning smell, then realised that my bottom was on fire and I can't help sniggering every time.

msktrnanny and darkseaglass's kissing challenge went live yesterday. There's been some awesome stories posted, ones I've loved reading a lot. Really, we have some amazingly talented people in this fandom. You should go and see

Okay, that's the write up of my life done. Exciting yes? And now the kidlet is announcing he's starving to death. Guess it must be time for tea.

Before I go though. I've uploaded some lovely new icons lately. But will gip this gorgeous one that _bettina_ gifted me with. She knows what I like. *happy sigh*

Christmas lights? Already? I refuse to dig anything out until after Thanksgiving. lol

And Oh God, how wrong am I that I'm sniggering with you? (but WHY did he put a firecracker up his ass in the first place?)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ah, see. No Thanksgiving here, so Christmas is a go as soon as guy fawkes is over. To some people anyway. We don't decorate until the 1st of next month.

I'm so glad you're sniggering too. I mean, I'm sorry that he's so badly injured, but the phrasing cracks me up. As for why. It seems he thought the fireworks party he was at was boring and wanted to provide his own entertainment.

I read an article about that online. I want to nominate the guy for a Darwin Award. He may not be dead, but he's definitely taken himself out of the gene pool. The news article made a comment about the methane gas our systems create and I started laughing out loud.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He really does need a Darwin Award. The pure stupidity of the act makes me boggle. I mean, how he thought it was a good idea I'll never know.

I don't blame you *g*

who thought it was a good idea to stick a rocket firework up his ass

Please, please tell me there was alcohol involved. Otherwise, I mean, really, no-one is that stupid? Right? Right? Ack.

Also, do you have a link I can send to various family members?

This (http://www.sunderlandtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=1107&ArticleID=1873278) should link to to the online article. Which sadly doesn't feature the photo of the idiot lying in his hospital bed.

Or there's this (http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/chroniclelive/eveningchronicle/tm_headline=rocket-stunt-nearly-cost-my-life&method=full&objectid=18080466&siteid=50081-name_page.html#story_continue) one, which actually features a clip of him as the firework goes off in his ass. It seems his friends were taking clips on their phones, as you do.

Oh man. I was googling our newspaper to find the story, but it seems the idiot has become known far and wide. (http://thefloridamasochist.blogspot.com/2006/11/knucklehead-of-day-award_11.html)

It seems he thought the fireworks party he was at was boring, so decided to provide his own entertainment. Some people are just idiots.

I couldn't live without TV (or the Internet and LJ)! When I'm home, the TV is running. It's great for background noise.

He probably wasn't thinking at all. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I tend to use tv as background noise too, especially as I'm home alone so often. Which is why spending so much time actually watching it is weird. I'm used to watching tv shows on my computer *g*

He probably wasn't thinking at all. *g*

Yeah, I think you're right.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

but... why would you even *think* that that was a good idea???

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have no idea! I mean, it's such a stupid thing to do, and he's a grown man too. He's just an idiot.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

I just. how did he live that long? It's a wonder Darwin didn't kill him from the grave.

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

people are *dumb*

but you, I like.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They really are.

How are you, honey? Easing back into LJ again. *smooch*

[duoshinigami.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until I start seeing Christmas lights go up!! It's my favorite time of the freaking year man!!

You're so lucky to have already seen some <3

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You and me both! Christmas is so my favourite time of the year by far!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Christmas is coming, yay! But please, no lights or decorations before the first Sunday in Advent, that's when it's supposed to start! People these days, no sense of tradition *grumble* *grumble*

I really must read some kissing stories tonight! I was going to do so today but I still haven't got round to it. Why do everything take so much time?!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I seem to remember us having this conversation last year too *g* Our decorations always go up on the first, it's our family tradition ;)

Why do everything take so much time?!

I'm with you there. Days need extra hours. But the kissing stories are worth taking time for. There's some wonderful ones.

Good Lord... you know damn well a woman would never be stupid enough to do that.

Too right! He was obviously an idiotic male showing off to his friends.

What I don't understand about guys is that they'll watch porn and jerk off together, but heaven FORBID they actually share a bed.
