The censorship/edit of “High Fidelity” on VH1 Classic is making it nearly unwatchable. Also I love how they cut out ALL the profanity, including the word “ass,” but leave in the scene where Tim Robbins gets savagely beaten.

Dinner turned out beautiful. While we were cooking, we watched the snow collect outside. It was wet and weak, but it was white. Everything was delicious, from the lamb meatballs to the unusual Israeli cous cous to my apple cranberry crisp. We watched “A Christmas Story” while we ate, then drove my mom to the ferry soon after because we were worried about ice/snow later, and she isn’t feeling well.

I want to go out for New Year’s Eve, but I want to stay here in Kitsap. I am not sure how that will work out, but I don’t need anything fancy. Until my birthday, five days later.
