The thoughts of my friends on Plain Jane
Are seldom, if ever, mundane;
For a Jets fan in need
Luck gets boosted indeed,
And lends charm to the proximal game.

What a sweet photo!

I'm discovering now what people were saying about the difficulty of inserting videos or photos in a message. I can't get it to work at all.

I had hoped to include a Christmas wish here with a photo of me blowing a Christmas kiss to Stumbledore but it keeps refusing to load. How sad.

I hope Stumbley won't be too disappointed. I wouldn't want to spoil his Christmas...

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Har har har.

You're a wicked, wicked woman! Have a very happy Christmas and we'll try and find some snow for you to return to.

Merry Christmas, everyone...

For some reason, my dad has always loved this song for as long as I can remember. Brings back nostalgic Chistmas feels from my childhood... maybe this year I'll finally get that GI Joe aircraft carrier I've been writing Santa for for the past 40 years

You're an opinionated bunch but tolerable on most days - looking forward to more of that in the new year.
Wishing you all the best over this holiday season - stay safe.
Finally getting a little snow - lovely :snow:

At this point, I am convinced that the USS Flagg aircraft carrier was a total psyop; have YOU ever met anyone who has or had one? Exactly.

Yesterday I mentioned a song I reserve for sundown on Christmas Eve, so here it is. Yes, it's weepy J-pop crap, I'm old enough that it was J and not K pop that was all the rage :P

It's by a band called "The Brilliant Green", and the song is called "Ivu no Kane (The Bells of Christmas Eve)" or "The Angel Song". I'll include the lyrics and translation, but the imagery is straightforward -- a young woman laments the loss of her lover, is thinking of him on Christmas Eve when the bells sound at sundown, "my letter will reach you through the heavens", etc. etc. etc. If you've played Final Fantasy X-2, and you know Yuna's song "1000 no Kobota (1000 Words)" then you know the imagery already. Like I said, generic J-pop stuff for the time.

But it reminds me of a dearly departed friend and earlier this year, maybe 18 years after she passed, one of her old high school friends contacted me on Twitter because my name was attached to a memorial, and he had long been wondering what happened to her. I was able to testify on her behalf, and bring him some closure. So it hits a little harder this year.

So as always, this song is dedicated to my friend Katie, and everyone else I am missing, and everyone else you might be missing this holiday year. May we always have memories of our angels of Christmas Eve.
