The 8th Annual Nightmare Before Christmas Party – Official Announcement

Hey folks! Just wanted to put the word out here that, yet again, we’ll be hosting a shindig at our place on Christmas Eve. Festivities should begin around 9:00 PM, and carry on until well after Santa has decided to pack it in and head home. We have some house guests on Christmas, so bed space will be limited, but there are still several couches and a other various places where one could sleep off a drinking binge!

If you need the address, let me know off LJ. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible again this year!

Ho Ho H…ahhh, fuggedabout

I was woken up this morning just after 7:00 AM with a phone call. This is never good. In my life I have discovered that calls before 8:00 AM and after 10:00 PM generally mean something fucked up is going on. This morning was no exception. My sister Kim is back at the hospital with both of her children. My niece Madison woke up in the middle of the night screaming that her stomach hurt, and it’s incredibly hard to the touch. Her son, Patrick (who was in the hospital not too long ago and has a condition that makes him very susceptible to illness) was throwing up. My hope is that Maddy just has some really bad gas and Patrick has caught the flu that is running around, but as of this point we don’t know.

Good times.

So on that cheery note, I figured I’d start a long overdue update.
