Oh, wow, is it Thursday already? I'm at work, no porn for you.
Buster got as many presents this year as I did, including a container of catnip that looks so much like buds of weed I got nervous when I had to have my bag unpacked thanks to an iron incense burner flaming up on the x-ray. The handcuffs come out - "no, really, it's catnip, I promise!". Dogs sniffing around - thank God they are looking for bombs and not dope.
Christmas Eve is the day to fly - I allowed 3 hours to get through it all and had 2 hours to kill. The plane was full but by and large the airport was deserted. Found a good book for the plane. I am all into the series of "Best (blah blah blah) of 2005" - I got Magazine Writing for the plane, and just picked up Science Writing. They have Spiritual Writing and Travel and Food and all kinds of good stuff. Nice short bursts of well-written and informative tidbits.
There is a seriously Buster moment in The Chronicles of Narnia. When you see it, and the scene comes when Aslan does his thing to the evil queen, imagine me lying in bed and opening my eyes to the same view on a slightly smaller but no less frightening scale. Loved the movie, by the way, more than I thought I would, and at the risk of even more firmly establishing myself in the group as a pervert, the Centaurs are HOT!!

Sci Fi Channel sucks me in to the weirdest stuff.I just got through 3 nights of watching a preposterous miniseries about the Bermuda Triangle. It was kinda cool, cause we haven't heard much about the goings-on in the Triangle lately; I imagine this will start a new trend and it will once again be chic.
Have you noticed that otherworldly things have their times in the sun, like bell-bottoms and ponchos? For a while alien abduction was all the rage (best movies are "Communion" and "Fire in the Sky", with a kudos to the Barney and Betty Hill movie way back when with James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons, a pioneer of the genre). The Triangle was hip so long ago I don't remember any movies. I know there were some bad made-for-tv things rather like what I just watched. Voodoo and Santaria had a moment ("The Believers" and "Serpent and the Rainbow"). Sometimes a movie starts a trend ("Altered States" and the sudden opening of isolation tank spas, all gone now). Crop circles have died down a bit; "Signs" was a little late. Some things, like ghosts, will always be popular, but I kind of put them outside of the natural-supernatural new-age hippie-dippie stuff I am thinking about. Remember Pyramid Power? I'd be hard-pressed to find a pyramid outside the Whole Living Expo, and they are throwbacks even there. Okay, so we need to make a movie about the famous "vortexes" in Sedona. Haven't seen one of those yet and it seems like vortexes would be ripe for the picking. They are so vague you could do anything. Louis L'Amour wrote a book about the Anasazi that was pretty cool - getting some Native American lore into the spotlight would be interesting.
Anyway, my Christmas sale was good; Buster got a couple leftover cat toys. Ramping up for the Christmas blitz (Happy Christmahannukwanzaakah!). Oh, and I did like the Johnny Cash movie. Also, if you are going to see Harry Potter make sure you do it at the movies - it is so dark it might be hard to see on the teevee.
