Holiday happenings...
16 years ago
Been hanging out with people way too much, which has kinda made me lazy about posting a journal lately, or being bad about staying in contact.. sorry!
Thanksgiving was good-- went and paid homage to the fam by going to Albuquerque for Thanksgiving. I hate having to visit my mom, but I haven't been in a long time, and there is a lot less drama and stress if I go there than if she comes to Denver... and it seems like she uses the "I haven't seen you in a while" excuse to randomly appear in Denver for a week or two. Also, all my brothers and sister were there, so it was sorta like a fam reunion. They all came because they weren't going to come for Christmas, which is the time that our family normally gathers together. My mom goes crazy for Christmas because of the family togetherness, and I know she is going to be really sad and emo being all alone on her favorite day of the year.
Got to visit "Fur Central" in Albuquerque, Carol and Sabot's house, the last couple days. It was nice and refreshing to visit good fur friends! Plus Carol and I went happily gay shopping A LOT (she is so sweet!) and bought several new articles of fetish wear that I may have been too embarrased to buy alone. Only the girl at the register at Victoria's Secret gave me the most cruel stare of death! Almost worse than Pak's stare. It was funny! Also bought a huge Bolt plushie that is so extremely cuddly, cute, and soft!
Been snowboarding as much as I can during the nicer days of the couple weeks past.. Lotsa snowin goin on in the mountains. Crashed really hard once, cuz I saw a burm of man-made snow being made, and figured "oh, nice, powder!" Was going way to fast as usual. When I slid into it it happened to be slushy (not even too warm outside!), and it seemed to immediately grab my board with some kind of suctioning power. I plummeted head-first. My helmet totally saved my melon there and popped my neck a few times and was ok. Stay away from man-made burms!
Like I said, been hanging out a lot too, and would like to thank everyone who has had me over, it has been a lot of fun, even if you were too drunk and can't remember! "Waterfalls" with straight whiskey are bad! Gin and tonics with orange liquor and white cranberry juice while life-drawing good. Getting tipsy at a holiday party around one of your Flander's-like ex-bosses who laid you off, bad!

<laughs) also you unintentionally made me chuckle with the "emo-mother
comment i know your intended use was to depict a mothers concern and sorrow of cubly separation, but the thought of a kindly fritz mom, dressed in something Nuri or Arcturus might wear while listing to Linkon park is highly amusing. so please take no offense, i merely wished to share the humor.
i can only imagine just what zany antics Gay shopping would bring about, if its anything like shopping with my cousin Dave then I'm sorry you had to endure 3 hours of siting in the same store while someone couldn't decide which shade of light blue camo pants matched the shade of light blue camo shirt he found on the exact same shelf.
but upon reading the rest of the post i can assume you had more fun than i thought <laughs) joking none the less glad to have you back in colorful Colorado.
Happy holidays Good Sir Fritz Fox.
ETA to my arrival: 16 days, 2 hours, 39 minutes, and 17 seconds.
Prepare yourself!
Thanks for the complement! For the wait I shall reveal my secrets for you: I first start off cooking the sauerkraut in the pan in a pat of butter. Another thing is to use good bread-- the generic rye at Sunflower market is awesome and cheap. put dab of thousand island on the inside, just enough to make a thin coat. Then throw the first slice on a pat of butter in the pan-which gives the bread good texture/taste. Then I put a slice of Havarti cheese (Del Fino brand is yummy). Then put bunched up pastrami (I use Columbus from costco). Then layer with the seared kraut. Then the final slice of bread with thousand island, and flip onto another pat of butter when the cheese gets a little melty. The meat should never get hot. It's not a real Reuben, because the cheese and meat are different, so I might have to come up with a different name.
Hope you are well!
