Late Night / Early Morning Musings

• When it's "only" 2am and none of your friends are on Facebook, the time has come to whisper, "We're not in college anymore, Toto."
• Mint-flavored Turkish Delight is truly terrible, unlike the rose-flavored kind, which is definitely delightful.
• Packing at this hour is maybe not the best idea, but it's definitely better than packing an hour before you need to leave the house-- which I have done twice before. Don't do it.  Just don't.
• A Royal Christmas gets a thumbs-up from me.  It's kind of everything I wanted to see in The Prince and Me but didn't-- almost.  I mean to delve into this more in my continually-being-added-to-and-edited cheesy Christmas movie series of posts. But if you are at all into Hallmark movies, or chick flicks that involve a tiny and made-up country, by all means watch this movie.
• Reading a bit of a Turkish fairy tale today made me wonder: the Magic Carpet in Disney's Aladdin... is the carpet even in the original Aladdin story?  And is the carpet supposed to be a regular carpet, or a prayer carpet?
• Amy's makes a very good frozen pizza.  And that pizza goes well with Pomegranate Leinenkugel, which I have already praised.
