Chris Christmas Rodriguez

A recurring season

14 December, 2008

in O internet, at home

As regular readers will know, December and June are typically the times when I, not to put too fine a point on it, go a bit mental. This explains in large part my quietness here. It’s harder to detect the start of a downward journey in an environment of general cheer and contentment, but it has exerted its pull for a week or two and I must feign patience until it recedes. I am good at weathering this, though I hate it.

Depression, however, is apparently no barrier to pottering away on Facebook, so should you miss me too acutely, that is where I may be found. I will willingly play you at Scrabble, Wordscraper, Scramble or Word Twist. It is likely you can beat me with relative ease in any of these forums, so for what are you waiting?

Regular readers will also know of my fondness for Chris Christmas Rodriguez. Vote him to replace Santa, this and every year.

Making a list, checking it twice

21 December, 2007

in at home, the social round

As I get older, I am confronted with the rituals of Santa from Santa’s point-of-view, as it were. Hence this exchange:

Señor Mojito: I’ll finish work about 8 on Christmas Eve, so we can meet Archie [et al.] for drinks if I get organised.

H-Bird: Do the bars close early?

Señor Mojito: Yeah, they close about midnight.

H-Bird: But what if Santa wants to have a drink?

Señor Mojito: That’s why everyone puts a drink out for him.

H-Bird: Oh. Oh, I see.

Señor Mojito [pointedly]: Duuhh!

This, I suppose, classifies me as naughty rather than nice: that I only thought about Santa’s Christmas drinking needs in relation to my own. Possibly this is because I declared my loyalty to Chris Christmas Rodriguez as early as 2005.
