Jules: Mmm... sleep...
Can't get enough of it these days. I've had a nasty cold for the past few days so I've had very little extra energy, despite all the other excitement around here. Getting our baby photos is pretty thrilling, so if I wasn't all stuffed and logy I imagine I'd be bouncing off the walls. So perhaps it's just as well...
You were asking...
1. What shoes do I want for Christmas? Well, a pair of sexy Zanotti heels is always welcome, of course, though given the $560 price, I'm not exactly holding my breath: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?cmCat=search&itemId=prod15210107
As a more practical matter, I could really go for some ankle-height rubber boots:

Also, those blue tennies are way cute.
2. The House and Garden channel? I hadn't actually looked. I have to confess I don't watch much in the way of how-to shows unless there's an Iron-Chef-style hook. By the way, I finally saw "Semi-Homemade Cooking with Scary Lee." Dude, that is some horrible stuff, and I say this as somebody who's capable of fairly low-brow food indulgences--but really, some of that was nasty. Naaasty.
3. Solo vacation? Tough question, because I've never actually vacationed alone. I think I'd enjoy any big city with a lot of museums, but Chicago especially would be great fun, because they have a fantastic art museum that I haven't seen since I was a kid. And the shopping is incredible, according to my mom, who would know.
4. I have almost no music squirreled away as MP3s. The reason being that I don't download much music, aside from a few singles. Which is why I don't get to use the "detect" function to fill in the "current music" category, I just fill in whatever I've had on the car CD player.
Oh, plus this:

All I'm saying is that I really really like a certain type of 70s-style guitar groove music.
So, tell me...
1. Can you really get both knees replaced at the same time? I always figured they did that one at a time, so you could recuperate after each one. And the taking-off-and-putting-back-on is creepy, but I think I'd get over it if I'd been in terrible pain and couldn't get around. Still, ick. Did you notice on the Survivor finale that Scout said that the docs had given her the wrong size knee? Yowza. I'd be pissed.
2. Speaking of reality TV, has this season's TAR made you revise your dream vacation list? I have to say not yet: I've been to Oslo (and that very ski-jump, as it happens, which was hard to find even with a local taking us there) and Stockholm, both of which I'd happily visit again. Going to the Viking village could be cool, but then I'm kind of a sap for all things Viking. Go figure.
3. And, again on the TAR subject: whose relationship has been the most appealing to you? I really love Gus and Hera, partly because I'm enjoying watching them getting used to interacting like teammates and travelers instead of whatever old patterns of father-and-daughter they'd established--I think they're learning to respect and appreciate each other in a new way. Also, I really enjoyed Don and Mary Jane, because even when they were frustrated and tired they would stop and apologize for snapping; plus they really obviously adore each other. And they were graceful losers, sniff!
I'm not even going to ask who has the most appalling relationship, because there's no doubt: Jonathan and Victoria are just awful, awful together and he's an abusive freak. Screaming, shrieking, blaming, it just goes on and on. Turkish prison? Absolutely.
4. And what are you doing for Christmas? Going to spend time with the family? We're going to Houston for a few days. I'm hoping to be over my cold before we go, though I'm not so sure I can pull it off, alas.
And to you and all our readers (assuming we have any): Merry Christmas! Happy Festivus! And, as a variation on Tiny Tim's plea, Lord Help Us All.
