so josie and i went to our neighborhood christmas party tonight. fun. we took a ride on a horse drawn carriage and shite. then, the funniest thing i've seen in a while happens...so there's this lady in the neighborhood probably in her mid-thirties who belongs to the, shall we say, "special populations" group. think where i work. anyway, she sees the fire truck pull up with santa on board from through the window and says, just as a lull of silence comes over the crowd, "GOD-DAMMIT, IT'S SANTA!!!" in a fit of pure, crystalline, unadulterated joy. most of the neighbors didn't know what to think, but i just can't stop laughing about it...."GOD-DAMMIT, IT'S SANTA!!!"
