Chanukah Chappenings

I refuse to spell it "Xanuqa" even though that was the second-most-popular spelling at my party.

( Eight crazy nights )

Tonight I'm going over to koppel's place to watch Zardoz, which I introduced to him at the quiet hangout I went to on the 25th, and which fired him up to get people together to watch it. It seems like a great way to usher out the old decade, with a bunch of ridiculous 70s imagery to purge all the venomous nonsense from the last year. And there was so much venom, but I feel like all the candle-lighting I've done lately has helped.

The year and the decade are almost gone. Let them go.

"Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die."
- Alfred Tennyson, Ring Out, Wild Bells
