A visit to Fort Myers beach (that included dinner with the JunglePete Family) before heading back up to Sarasota for some wandering around Lido Key was an excellent way for Husband and I to conclude a year that swooshed by incredibly fast.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go create a “true life 2014” category. Crazy.
Merry Christmas from this thing – which is apparently a toddler-sized animatronic raccoon that has lost it’s ski poles and is now futilely miming skiing – and not, as I originally thought, a toddler-sized animatronic squirrel miming lewd acts in our general direction.
It’s part of this yard, which I couldn’t even get a full picture of:

Husband and I are looking forward to seeing Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
The Onion AV Club has a hilarious promotional video posted for the movie – “A Brief History of Santa Claus”. It’s definitely worth your time.
Merry Christmas, kids!
I don’t know how I missed these! V. just sent me a link to A Site Called Fred’s “Holiday Havoc” page. They have 6 years worth of exclusive Venture Brothers Holiday songs conveniently linked on one page. I’m super-easily amused so I particularly love Dr. Girlfriend and the Monarch as Bing Crosby and David Bowie doing “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy.“
If you live under a rock and don’t know the original, it’s here:
Venture Aid 2006 is pretty great, too. You need to look up the source for that one, you’re on your own. I try not to expose my computer to that kinda thing.
Happy (belated) holidays!
The December 17th selection in the Dali and Beyond Film Series is Peter Capaldi’s “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life”
A great deranged Christmas short to usher in the holiday season. In the spirit of Frank Capra’s classic film, Franz Kafka stars Richard E. Grant in the title role of this award-winning black comedy concerning the famous author suffering writer’s block on Christmas Eve, stumbling over how to complete the first sentence of “Metamorphosis,” while being tormented by holiday revelers downstairs. (1999, 24 min.; Not Rated, probably PG).
The series is screening at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I haven’t seen the movie, but it sounds amusing.
