deathpixieChristmas isn't over until you spend all your gift vouchers and you stop getting things in the post. Today both of those things happened.
I dropped into Collins Booksellers on the way home today and picked up Mr Norrell and Jonathan Strange, which has been intriguing me for a while. That's a lot of book for your money, might I say. You can probably kill someone with it if you hit them hard enough. ;) Still, should keep me busy for a while. A good while, considering how little of my free time goes towards reading lately... bad me.
I also got not one, but two parcels in the mail. One from Dex, which had Red vs Blue vcds and a CD from Johnny and the Screaming Demons, which is on right now. *giggles* There's a bit from Val's birthday, where Johnny says in the middle of the song "Dex, I didn't know that you danced". Which pretty much sums up Dex's dancing technique.
I also got a book from Benway, which looks to be a lot of fun and is small and light enough to become the latest Bath Book. 'Cause I actually read in the tub. Quite a lot, really, since otherwise I fall asleep and then there's water up the nose and near-drowning and that's not so much fun... But yes, nifty book from Benway. *hugs*
I should also mention here thanks to the other people who sent stuff. I have cards from Kate and Cynjen and Obsidian, plus Seraph's oil burner, Red's CD (Transiberian Orchestra, which is very rock opera-y, and I'm liking it more with every listen) and Willow's vcds which shall keep me busy for many many hours... Thank you all, guys. I have plots for you, that require pay day. Which is tomorrow, thank goodness.
So yeah, feeling rather loved right now. :)

I also was training someone at work today, which was a bit of a pain since she insisted on practically sitting in my lap and I couldn't check my email. *pouts* Still, got her to the point where she had something of her own to do, so it was just the morning...

Date: 2005-01-04 01:18 pm (UTC)Most of us went for cajun at Big Daddy's on Sunday. After stuffing ourselves full with blackened everything, we returned to the apartment and John did an acoustic mini-concert. Then there were drinks.
Mock my dancing, will you...
