I don't do 'alone' very well, but I think I did a pretty darn good job today. Contact with the outside world: spoke to a friend for a few minutes this morning; my sister called this evening; went out to get some groceries. Total time: about 45 minutes. Other than that, I finished cleaning my apartment, wrapped the gifts I've bought so far, hung some Christmas lights ... basically got my life in order.

Now I'm waiting for the post-football wrap-up to friggin wrap up so that I can watch X-Files. Damn football...

... and they start out with a close-up of a spider. This is usually where it's good to have someone else here to tell me when that shot is over. Damn spiders.

ps
Wes Craven needs to stop making movies. And they need to stop with the spider close-ups in this episode.
