Some rando. I shall occasionally be reposting my old crap from the other place. If that's gauche, sue me. I only have so many thoughts.

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. There's an eerie loneliness that hangs over the whole thing. The music, Charlie Brown's depression, the dying little tree, the flatness of the children's voices, the inevitability of death. A Christmas masterpiece.

Santa: The f*ck you say?

Christmas eve. We had tea and what-not, watched The Snowman, watched The Wrong Trousers, talked about the unreasonably warm humid weather and the fog. It's what you do.

First time in decades we haven't done a 6' real tree. My wife's handiwork. My 21 year old daughter made the string of stars from post-it notes.

The older you get the more you stare into the toilet bowl afterwards. Searching for death.
