I almost have my christmas tree up. its sitting on the front porch awaiting my unconcerted efforts, being there since I brought it home a few days ago. I have the living room rearranged to allow a nicely-trimmed artificial fir to sit in front of the front window--so all the neighbors understand that I actually do realize what time of year it is.

anyway, the ickyish part is if the tree goes in front of the window, it'll block the furnace's cold-air return, which I could do, but the heat would be ...ummm...not as heaty.

therefore, Im making due with two small trees on the windowseal, and they're kinda pretty. maybe two foot tall and white lights. I think they look cool.

but I think it'd be sooooo christmassy if I were to put a colorfully blazing tree in the middle, cold air return be dammed--wouldnt you agree?

so shit, enough about that. what I wanted to say is King's Under the Dome is all that. the dome part, its so secondary to the people in the town and thier interactions. what a cool, cool story.

plan is: gonna quit cigs jan first. wish me luck...
