The Regifted Xmas

It took a while to open all the packages from Batshit I got for Xmas. There was a lot, and began to weigh upon my mind, bundles of scrolls to be deciphered, interpreted, bags of partially wrapped (and consumed) food, finally, over a couple of days I managed to open them all.
Scrolls, abundant, treasure maps, more drop-offs I was expected to deliver, mixed media, some more pornography but a surprising amount of non-pornography as well.
Boxes of unopened chocolate, licorice, regifted, as it were, from his overly abundant Xmas, half-eaten biscuits and crackers, I was too sick to listen when last I saw him but he was telling me the tale of how he has a 25 year old color printer, Canon, that does an excellent job of printing off $20.00 bills, and here he cracked his wallet open to show me all the supposed counterfeiting he had been up to, but it was bullshit, all of it, and my patience left me when the Flu started. But - just from the stuff he was regifting - you knew he was doing well. A brand new bar of soap, one of the fancy ones, and while I was pretty sure his hosts would have wanted him to use it I was also pretty sure if they got a whiff of me they'd agree I could use it as well...an abandoned work glove with provenance written upon it,
Ornamented children's books - Saint Stormy (himself) &
Litnin Rod - Me...
And - the glove used by Renee Russo for making toasted cheese sandwiches. As well as various instructions and invitations to the Royal Wedding to be passed off to various invitees...

Discovered this podcast the other day and have been devouring it ever since:

The Kootenays is full of self-proclaimed experts on drugs, which is why it's good to get a second opinion. Thoughtful, reasonable discussion on various drugs from cocaine, psychedelics, MDMA to methamphetamines, sugar, alcohol and caffeine, their effects and side-effects, in a non-judgmental but informative way.

Listening to them a bit lately, looking for some good new music, when coming across the credits after one of their videos I discover they're from Regina. Who knew? I mean, the name of the group, bluegrass and beards, I was thinking Alabama. Good job, they're punching well above their weight...

A charming fairy tale, well told. Not extraordinary, or exceptional, the Oscar Nominations told you that, but sometimes you just need a break from "Film as Art" and this was it.
