Like Many, I Jump Ship

tanarillThis is me at Dreamwidth! They make it easy to jump ship, what with the "Import" ability, which copied the past four years of LJ and made it DW-y, and also copied my flist and things. There is manual labor involved in making it so DW will put my LJ peeps into my DW flist, and so this is an open request to all of you reading this: if you have a DW, reply to this so I can add you there and remove the LJ-stink from my new digs; if you do not have a DW and do not plan to move, please go edit your style in such a way that the little orange RSS box is visible somewhere on your LJ. (This is because what DW actually does is make an RSS reader, and if I can't subscribe to your RSS I can't read your blog via DW. Which I'd like to do. Please? [makes puppy dog eyes])
Right! Things:
JJ and I made dinner on Friday! It was as follows: Challah, made by hand, by yours truly. Caesar salad, homemade, also by yours truly. Beef, done absolutely perfectly, by the JJ, except that when he was done it was not quite beef but the crazy delicious offspring of a beef and a marshmallow, known as a beefmallow. Green beans and garlic, and mished potatoes (and garlic) provided the veg. And of course, jello for dessert, because it jiggles :D
Then I proceeded to have a normal relaxing weekend.
See, I am very Jewish, and so as far as I am concerned, Christmas is a day for sleeping in. However, I am also obligated, per Tradition, to have Chinese take-out on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Accordingly, the JJ and I got some pretty good local take-out. I ate too much. The worst part of the meal was that my fortune cookie failed to contain a fortune, so it was more like a not-fortune cookie. If that is the worst that happens, I can dig it.
JJ and I are both playing Skyward Sword. We have one Wii system, so this involves a battle. We kind of suck horribly at not only watching other people play (go left! left!!) but also watching other people play bits of a video game we already did (that isn't going to work! You have to smack the crystal and then shoot the one guy!) so we can't even be in the same room while one of us is playing, which because of the layout of this house means that essentially we can't even be on the same storey. I have been banished to my bedroom.
We have been watching Dr. Who! It is great fun, although very British. I am not very good at watching it, though. My engineery-brain problem solves like other people . . . do something they do a lot without thinking about it, so I keep asking questions like, "If the wooden person just spontaneously combusted, that means it is at least 451F in there. Why isn't the Doctor sweating?" I mean, okay, Time Lords don't have human physiology. But 451F? I know I am a little missing the point, but still! Writers! Quit leaving plot holes you could drive a TARDIS through!
Anyway, that is my life for the moment. It is a pretty good life. :)

That was very nice of you, to crosspost to LJ.
(See, you are considerate of other people, I didn't even consider doing anything beyond linking to my new journal, ha ha.)Have you considered the possibility that there will be time-traveling shenanigans in your future, and that's why a fortune cookie failed to materialize? The non-linear timeline involved was too much for the little thing to conceive in its little cellulose-inky-magical brain! (This is how fortune-telling papers inside of fortune cookies are constructed, yes?)
I know what you mean about the videogames! And the tv shows.
