Hey, 2009. Time to leave, yet?

[rebness]

I bought a (frozen) Canadian lobster from the supermarket today, for £4. It's sitting in my fridge and I am awake at 2am* wondering what to do with it tomorrow. I feel like I should cook something special, but don't want lobster thermidor. It's freezing, so no lobster salad. I don't have sushi rice. My life is hard.

I feel like the best thing to do would be some baked potatoes or loaded skins, lobster and corn on the cob. I don't think I have corn on the cob and am not going anywhere until Christmas because of that absolutely terrifying black ice on the roads, so I may end up having it with, er, baked beans or something. Ah, well. £4.

In other news, am attempting to write more and kind of winning, except for IRL daring to trespass on my dreamytimes. How very dare it? I have a project coming up to try and aid My Great 2010 American Trip but that's in the air until the beginning of January, I think.

Quick meme, ganked from wiebke :

List the towns or cities where you spent at least a night away from home during 2009. Mark with a star if you had multiple non-consecutive stays.

Rome, Italy
Tunis, Tunisia
Zakynthos, Greece*
Athens, Greece
Amsterdam, Netherlands*
Andorra la Vella, Andorra
Messina, Sicily, Italy
Sitges, Spain*
Scarborough, England
London, England
Cork, Ireland

Ho hum. Hurry up, Christmas. :D 

*Not losing sleep because of lobster. My internal clock has decided that I am nocturnal.

I'm not feeling very Christmas-y this year. I wish I were as its my favorite holiday but it really came up too fast and now I'm scrambling trying to get everything done. One thing I am looking forward to is two four day weekends in a row (we get Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off at my job).

Good luck with the lobster : )

'Tis a shame it's not alive and kickin'. gairid and I had so much fun at our lobster feast one year. And did she ever squirm when it was time to cook the lobbies! She had to leave the kitchen whilst I sent the lobbies to their delicious doom! =)

Lobsters are best pulled from the shell and dipped into melted butter.
