Sooooo several things have been stacking up here in my Chrome tabs, and now with LJ's really disappointing yet unsurprising stab at Facebook-ish privacy violation, I'd better make a post.

First: If you're against the new cross-posting features (which you probably are), tell them in this poll. If you're not aware of the cross-posting features, read ( Read more... )

Busy busy busy. Just finished writing a packing list (because otherwise I'll forget loads of stuff, and this way I'll only forget a few things XD) I also cut out some pattern pieces I'll need while away, and wrapped/labelled presents to get sent out tomorrow and wrote their cards as well. Still need to cut out other pattern pieces, clean up, do ( Read more... )

Despite getting up later than I have in months today (2pm O_o;), I feel like I've been productive! This is primarily because I made a recipe I'd never done before for dinner (breaded porkchops) and it was really pretty good. I have also managed NOT to spend idiotic amounts of time messing with my icons, even though I cleared out 15 slots yesterday ( Read more... )

Should. be. working. I actually have work out in front of me, which is better than usual. Still, though, it's because it's the writing bit that I keep dreading it. Oh, well. Can't be helped. I'll get it done...sometime. Sometime today. Which probably means tonight, but still. As long as it leaves me free for International Food Market (read: ( Read more... )

So despite the torrent not being finished, I somehow decided that it was a good idea to watch a bit of Red Dwarf (which I had never seen before) for a break today before I really buckled down to work ( Read more... )

So as we can all see, my PPD is directly proportional to the amount of work I have to do, proving that at least for me whoever said "Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't his" was totally right ( Read more... )

Okay, well apparently LJ didn't like my last entry (which was Monday, I think) and ate it, but that's all right, I guess ( Read more... )
