1. Those Vacherin Mont D'or I wrote about last week were even better than I hoped. I'm going to the airport this afternoon to get more. Hopefully they are there and refrigerated when I arrive since they were hanging out in Milwaukee yesterday for some reason instead of sitting in the airport walk-in fridge.

2. I have been to Milwaukee twice. Once for a Cheese Conference where the Secret Service wanted to arrest us for carrying (cheese) knives because John Edwards was staying at the hotel at the same time, and once with [livejournal.com profile] prof_southbay on the way to Ann Arbor because some awesome LJers ([livejournal.com profile] teabee and [livejournal.com profile] n2plus6 who never post anymore live there. I like Milwaukee. I would prefer if my cheese was in San Francisco though.

3. If you like cheese puns, check out this metafilter thread. Problems with posts tagged with cheese Thanks [livejournal.com profile] susanbeeswax

4. I like cheese puns too much. In the new year, look for my complation of lyrics to cheese pun songs I sing at work.

5. I'm also thinking of a posting of pictures I found on my computer while cleaning out my attachment folder. People really should give their baby's photos titles with the kid's name on them (most of these were not from Ljers so don't get paranoid). I was totally guessing at times based on the ethnicity of the parents cuz, you know, babies are funny looking.

6. I had an awesome weekend with [livejournal.com profile] smallstages. Awesome.

7. [livejournal.com profile] beelavender and family are in town and I've already gotten drunky-drunky with the adult members. I'll be hosting a Bee B-day party at my place in early January so watch this space for info. Let me know if you want a special invite.

8. Do you guys know about the Green Apple outlet? It's at the old Busvan for Bargains storefront on Clement a couple of blocks away. I am not talking about the Green Apple Annex a couple of door down, this is just a discount store. If you can spend some time, you can find some deals. It has a different name, some appley pun (Apple Seed? Apple Core? Wormy Apple?) that I can't remember.

9. Oh what else? I feel like I should try to make it to ten entries. Hmmmmm. Oh yeah, I'm really mad at you LA and NY folks because "Persepolis" is opening in your cities first. Booooooooo!

10. I have avoided hearing almost any x-mas music this year. Having worked at a mall for many holiday seasons, x-mas music really makes me want to kill. While I think I could cop a diminished capacity plea do to that factor, I'd rather not have to push it in court. Thank you, retailers of San Francisco, for making life bearable this x-mas-oriented-festival-of-capitalism season.

1. It was so busy right before Thanksgiving, such a blur of customers... At one point, [livejournal.com profile] dairryiere and I were discussing something at the cheese sink and someone walked by who gave us the shy nod of punk acknowledgement. We returned it and went back to our discussion. About five minutes later Dairryiere was all, "Hey, that was Aaron (Cometbus)!" I said, "Oh shit, you're right!" We've both known him for years and didn't know he was in town. We were just too dazed from customer service for the information to go to the thinking parts of our brains in time to actually say hello properly.

If you're reading this Aaron, sorry for the brush-off.

2. Martin from Giant Robot liked the Lance Memorial zine.

3. My drinking tolerance is very low these days. I guess I haven't been drinking enough. Cheese broker-paid drinks and a little dinner last night at Thirsty Bear = tipsy Gordon.

4. Number of suggestive "Wookey Hole" references made at the cheese broker holiday party: 6.

5. Picture of my Wookey Hole:
Untitled 69

6. I am so excited about some of the cheese coming in on Tuesday that I'm a little giddy. Let's hope it shows this time.

7. "The Devil Knows Your Dead" is a grim movie.

8. Looking forward to The Shondes on Tuesday at Annie's Social Club. Who's with me?

9. Also looking forward to fun holiday parties, out-of town guests, and the return of displaced Bay Areans

10. Also looking forward to February vacation plans. Yurts!
