the holiday malaise continues.

phase two of ann's christmas campaign to shake dabney out of her early winter blahs continued this past weekend. she pulled out the big guns on saturday with the swedish yuletide festival at the boston center for the arts. there were lots of tall blond people eating waffles and maribou chocolate, drinking glogg, and painting dala horses.


and it was very sweet. and very christmas-y.

on sunday it was handmade crafts at this year's bizaar bizzare. in short, there were great things there, few of which could be seen or enjoyed due to the overwhelming crowds and music. is this sour grapes talking here? no, no it's not. more here and here. dabney did manage to buy a porcupine pincushion from carryBOO!, which she loves. she thought about giving it as a gift to someone, but decided to hoard it as her own instead.

dabney rewarded ann's very noble (and no doubt desperate) efforts by staying up until three a.m. on monday night/tuesday morning watching (very conservative) coverage of stanley "tookie" williams' execution. who is this nancy grace person, and why does she have her own show on cnn? she's horrible.
