figjam and
yrae are done, yaaaaay. Though I may down the track make Fig Jam more landscape and image friendly. Not now, though. That's as far as I can be arsed going with any of them for now. I'll slowly but surely go through adding memories to both of them, too. I use them all the time.
Because of the whole Sydney trip less than two months ago, Alex hasn't come to Adelaide for Christmas/New Year this time, so we decided we'll go see movies on the same day and then Skype afterwards and it'll be like we saw them together. Today we saw Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. IT WAS AWESOME. I feel like I was just watching the animation for half of it. It was incredible. It really did look like a moving comic book. The way everything flashed around and moved, the dynamic slow-mo 'frames' that just... omg it was awesome. When stuff was out of focus in the background, it wasn't blurred, but it was just colour-shifted a bit, so you got the RGB or CMYK out of register and it was so cool. SO COOL.
The characters and the comedy were so much fun. The story was great. I just loved it. I could go see that again for sure.
...I never mentioned Christmas. Whoops. I'm very in-the-moment when I do tpyo entries. Anyway. Christmas was just a perfect day. Very warm, but up at Mum and Dad's in the Hills so it was pleasant enough. We started with punch, bubbly and the best nibbles you ever did see on the back veranda, hung around there for a while until Laura came up after nursing, and then the most perfectly Christmassy moment I've ever experienced. My cousin lives up in Darwin and flew down that morning to Adelaide. My aunt and uncle knew nothing about this. When she turned up, aunt was instantly in tears and uncle was just :O for a solid five minutes, until Mum asked if he was all right... then he burst into tears, too. I've NEVER seen him so emotional. It was just beautiful and so squee. Even by the end of the day I don't think he was over it, socute.
Lunch was all the usual suspects but not as you know them (for Christmas lunch, anyway). The prawns and ham and crackling and cranberry were in the nibbles; the turkey was in the entrée as a salad with jellyfish (omg it was so good); the salmon was for mains (as a full side of salmon with leek and mushrooms wrapped in pastry); the gin and tonic was the sorbet; and the pudding and cherries were in a cheesecake semifreddo for dessert. I'd say Mum's best Christmas lunch for sure. It was all so perfect and delicious, omg.
Also, Mum got me a mandolin for Christmas XD I happy.
'narti originally stuck this at Dreamwidth cos she had to use it for something.
