My brother and his girlfriend showed up during the weekend, visiting for Christmas. I wasn't expecting them this early, but since they live in Holland I rarely see them, so it's cool. Been lots of watching of Dexter so far, which they're both really liking. Family bonding over serial killers. Hah.
All cards and gifts have now been sent/ordered, but a few might be a little late for Christmas because Norway is far away from anywhere else. Sorry!
Meanwhile, this family in the US are a little angry because a supermarket wouldn't personalize a cake for their son. Their son? Adolf Hitler Campbell. I'll let you consider that name stuck to a three-year-old for a sec, then consider his sister's name: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
... Okay, the parents are clearly racist fucks, but they've also seemingly gone batshit insane if they want to subject heir kids to a lifetime of shit.
Watching romantic comedies can apparently ruin your love life.
Says a university professor involved in the study: The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced by media portrayals than we realise.
Which... Yeah. While I do think most are quite capable of seperating fantasy and reality, I also do think a little here and there can seep over and the one affect the other. Can, being the key word. Not as simple as cause - effect, because humans are rarely simple at all.
And I've been writing, so fic previews.
