Disadvent 14
Dec. 14th, 2025 02:24 pmYesterday was all, uh, advent and no disadvent - Christmas shopping including tree but also groceries and school supplies and picture wire and replacing lost winter gear and three boxes of dish detergent from the only store around that still carries a dish detergent I don't hate (it's all pods, pods, pods now, and I guess I've become the dad from Strictly Ballroom, "it's all video, video, video". anyways.).
Today, however, we put up lights on the tree and in the living room and also got rid of all the spare bulbs and fuses and warnings/instructions for lights we don't have any more, and also threw out two broken strings of outdoor lights that were in the garage. And also we had two strings of lights we'd never used because the colors were creepy and unpleasant (a blue and a purple, which I had bought as colors of holiday lights I like in general, but these weren't good implementations) and it occurred to me that I could send them with Q to see if the LARP people had any use for them, as people who sometimes want creepy lighting effects on purpose, as I have seen in some event photos. He has been instructed to emphasize that I don't want them back.
