Tonight's distraction is Lamb Chops Special Chanukah (1995) starring Shari Lewis, Pat Morita and Alan Thicke. The special also of course includes Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy and Charlie Horse. I had forgotten how sassy Lamp Chop is.

Happy Hanukkah! Bring on the latkes and dreidel.

Tonight's distraction movie is Christmas in Connecticut (1992) starring Tony Curtis, Kris Kristofferson and Dyan Cannon. This is the only movie directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, trivia answer if you ever need it. And this is one of my favorite holiday romcoms for over 30 years.

Tonight's distraction movie is Merry Little Batman (2023) starring David Hornsby, Luke Wilson, James Cromwell and Yonas Ascunsion Kibreab. I love Damian Wayne and this is adorable version. I really wish I could find a physical copy of this one.

blocking someone after they've already blocked you is pretty funny "OH YEAH WELL I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR POSTS *EXTRA*"

Just received crushing news about a hope I was holding onto, & now Im not sure how we will survive. Please help us: linktr.ee/wylder

Starting a rewatch of the Doctor Who holiday specials. These are the ones Wikipedia listed but I'll probably include the 50th & 60th specials too. A few I've only watched during the first airing so those will be interesting to see if I like them better years later.

Tonight's distraction movie is Scrooged (1988) starring David Johansen, Alfre Woodard, Karen Allen, Carol Kane, Bill Murray and Bobcat Goldthwait. I love this version of Ghost of Christmas Present the most. It is also my favorite modern setting of Christmas Carol. (Muppets is the best overall)

And the Hanukah Sharks are finished. Closest I could find to a Hanukah Jeff the Land Shark. #CrossStitch

Made it 44yrs in this solar system.

Happy Hanukkah! Remember the meanie of the holiday.

1st Night and Hiccup got two different kinds of treats.

Resident Alien might really be one of the funniest but also most on point about humanity in touching ways that I have ever watched. I'm about over half way into S2.

I was so close to finishing '25 without needing antibiotics. But no that cut on my finger from two weeks ago healed shut but did so around an infection. So 7 days of antibiotics 4x a day. I have split now to try and protect it from constantly hitting things and hurting.

Weird to think this Christmas Opus plushie is around 40yrs old.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Wiley and Alf are both ready for Hanukah.

Audrey III is decorated for Hanukkah. These were the lights I found at the thrift store for $2. They have like six different modes.

So I've been a Doctor Who fan since '07. I attended Gallifrey twice. Now I have all the episodes from the 9th Doctor on so I don't have to worry about who has the streaming rights. (At least all that have been released in the US I think.)

Got another sticker.

And the holiday decorating has begun.

Going to look at lights so wearing my llama Hanukah sweater.

Past Rachel...you were very wrong. Wreath making is not fun. It is in fact the opposite of fun.

My hair is now Hanukkah blue.

Got a few more stickers I turned into magnets.

Tonight's distraction is Resident Alien (2021) starring Alan Tudyk. I haven't actually watched this before but then I found a good deal on seasons 1-3 at the library thrift store. I do love Tudyk.

Between the library book sale and a new thrift store I found several movies that had been on to buy list.

Forced myself out of the house for the Winter Library Book Sale. Found 11 WLW romances including a couple political thriller romances and two MLM books with one being a graphic novel.

Making slow progress on the Hanukah Sharks. (Finish goal is by Dec 14)

Tonight's distraction are a bunch of older tv holiday specials: Danny Phantom- The Fright Before Christmas (2005) My Life As A Teenage Robot- A Robot For All Seasons (2004) A Muppet Family Christmas (1987)

Tonight's distraction movie is American Assassin (2017) starring Dylan O'Brien, Michael Keaton and Taylor Kitsch. It has been a bit since I watched this one but was in the mood for an action thriller and I like Dylan O'Brien.

Mom made kasha & bowties with brisket for Dad's birthday dinner. I made coffee cheesecake with chocolate whipped cream.

FFS...can grocery stores stop putting out boxes of matzo for every Jewish holiday!?!

I'm incredibly happy with my physical media additions today. One of my absolute favorite holiday specials that I watch a minimum of once a year- A Muppet Family Christmas (1987). Two tv series: BrainDead (2016) political comedy about alien invasion in DC, The Middleman (2008) a comic book comedy.

It's a secret Christmas movie! 🤣

Tonight's distraction movie is Enemy of the State (1998) starring Gene Hackman and Will Smith. I'm not sure if I've watched it since the early '00s.

Tonight's distraction movie is A Diva's Christmas Carol (2000) starrring Vanessa Williams, John Taylor, Brian McNamara, Kathy Griffin and Rozonda Thomas. Back from when VH1 was trying with movies.

Saw a post about Galavant and thought oh I should add that to my "Physical Media Wish List". So I went looking...and WTF...so the dvds exist I guess but I won't be adding them to my collection anytime soon.

Tonight's distraction movie is Santa's Slay (2005) starring Emilie de Ravin, Robert Culp, Douglas Smith and Bill Goldberg. The first holiday movie of December is over the top fun with some interesting mythology twists. Plus, I love there is a kill via menorah. #Movie

Three aftershocks are enough. I'd appreciate the Earth chilling for a bit.

I don't care it was only 3.3. I hate earthquakes.

Tonight's distraction movie is The Cutting Edge (1992) starring D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. One of the few sports movies I enjoy and seemed timely with the Winter Olympics coming up in February.

Made potato & cheese ravioli with brown butter garlic sage sauce for dinner. And discovered a new way to injure myself. Trying to open the pepper I made an inch and half slice in my finger.

I scored at Friend's of the Library thrift shop. I got Seasons 1-3 of Resident Alien on DVD for $5. I also got three Flash tpb. And found four other movies at a different thrift store.

Suggestion for Small Business Saturday. Needlepoint can help with stress. And you'd be supporting a queer disabled owner. www.etsy.com/shop/capital...

We're about to get slammed by an unexpected snowstorm tonight/tomorrow and I am not well enough to spend time/ energy fundraising. Please help? linktr.ee/wylder We could use giftcards for Aldi or Meijer too for needed groceries.

Tonight's distraction movie is It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002) starring Brian Henson, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire. I'm sure I've seen this before but it has been years. Something very Jewish American watching a Christmas movie while working on a Hanukah cross stitch.

Tonight's distraction movie is Superman (2025) starring Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet. Holiday tradition is always watching a movie after food, Dad hasn't seen this one yet. My third time and still fantastic. Krypto has never done wrong.

Tried my hand at shaped butter since I had a squash silicone mold.

Third Thanksgiving wearing my Vader with cookies skirt.
