Christmas photos

I've posted them on facebook. This one summarizes the whole vacation:
Chocolate.


This post's theme word: ineluctable, "impossible to avoid." Meals comprising only chocolate-based foods were ineluctable.

Apologies to Edward Gorey

I played Gloom over the break, and it was as delightfully depressing as expected. Trying to make happy, and then kill, my family members' family members...

I find anything even vaguely Gorey-esque to be exceedingly diverting (to borrow a Jane Austen-ism).

This post's theme word: thanatotic, "an ancient Greek personification of death" or, in psychoanalysis, "the death instinct, esp. as expressed in violent aggression."
