Happy Fucksgiving

[azurelunatic]

"Fucksgiving" may have entered my life as someone's typo, but it is now the Thursday-in-November holiday of choice. Its rules are simple:

Gather together as many compatible people who you give a fuck about as practical.
Have a good meal.
Think of the things that you give a fuck about.
Think of the things you thank fuck for.

So upon seeing the new Double Union space, and that there was a substantial and functional kitchen, I hit upon the idea of cooking. There was a conversation while cleaning up from the (awesome!!!) Halloween party. We could bake cookies! Have fresh-baked cookies every time we went! Have parties which involved cooking! THANKSGIVING!!!

So I resolved to host a Thanksgiving party at Double Union, for members and guests.

It turned out that quartzpebble was able to make it, with a delightful friend whose acquaintance I was very pleased to make.

There is not yet a full set of kitchen tools at Double Union, so while there were enough foil baking pans, it was a good thing that I brought a cookie sheet with me, to stabilize the pan underneath the very heavy turkey. It took four hands to get it out without spilling.

I'd been cooking, crocheting, and watching The Middleman before people showed up; after people showed up, there was cooking, crocheting, lock-picking, putting things away and sorting things, and subversive artwork. (Subversive artwork is always such great fun.)

Wednesday through Sunday was poodlesitting, so I was at my aunt's with the poodle most of the rest of the weekend, though emmah and cynthia1960's party was Friday, and my crocheting and I went there too. Once I finish the current project I really must start in on Sex Ed Hat II: What The Dickens!?!?

I did get the opportunity to finish watching The Middleman over the weekend. It is good. I discovered it was still in my crocheting bag on Tuesday, and so now Purple has borrowed it.

ISN'T IT PRECIOUS. (The Middleman, that is.)

SO DELIGHT.

I was telling Purple that I felt he'd enjoy it on Monday, so when I realized that it was with me on Tuesday, I sort of handed it to him and told him he was borrowing it.

I. Just.

Wendy.

I really like the idea of Fucksgiving! ^_^

Also, yay for The Middleman! *^^*

[azurelunatic]

Sadly I do not think that Fucksgiving will catch on with Mama.

It is such a great little show.

I think it's in one of the graphic novels that a creator's note talks about what they would've done with season 2, and I want that season. ;_;

Random thing: Matt Keeslar has apparently traded in acting for nursing.

(And Brit Morgan at the around the age she was when she played Lacey is totally my mental picture of Buffy. *^^* I adore her. She's in one of the episodes of Supergirl I haven't seen yet, and I'm so excited to see her.)

A second season would be so, so great.

Happy Fucksgiving to you.

Also, The Middleman?

And I suspect Sex Ed Hat II will be every bit as effective as Sex Ed Hat I.

[azurelunatic]

It is a really lovely little season of TV that lovingly examines science fiction tropes with the sensibility of Golden Age superhero comics. Wendy Watson is just trying to survive a temp job when a mad science accident happens and requires the intervention of a superhero, the gadget-enabled Middleman. Wendy is coolly attempting to save herself, and is recruited as an apprentice. Hijinks ensue.

For Sex Ed Hat II, I want to make the crocheted equivalent of one of those exploded drawings where you can see the three erectile tubes plus the urethra. It'll be great!

I like the idea for the second hat. Please take pictures.

And perhaps the Middleman will find its way into a queue somewhere for watching.
