The Christmas week...
The TreeIt's been a lovely week here at the Villa. I haven't been blogging as often as possible because LiveJournal chose to shut down my bposting facility, probably in response to their DDoS attack (it's an understandable vector), and I've been unable to use the LJ API through Emacs ever since. It's been very frustrating, and I'm thinking about moving to Dreamwidth in the coming year.
Still, Christmas came and went. I got some lovely gear, including a very nice zafu, a wonderful tea set, and some exercise gear I've been looking for, mostly hand-strengthening stuff. I did go buy myself a copy of Rage, ID's new game, and have been trying not to play it too obsessively.
A new bedKouryou-chan got a ton of swag, including a new Wii, a new bed, more arts and crafts stuff than she knows what to do with. And clothes. Lots and lots of clothes. Stormy, too, got a new bed, and great looking boots, more clothes and pyjamas. Omaha got chocolate, a copy of OmniFocus for the iPad, and new headphones, really good ones.
Omaha made a Christmas ham, which was absolutely delicious. I've been completely ignoring my diet for the past week, deciding that if I'm going to be a schlub this week I should go all out. It's been working. I feel like a schlub. Sleeping nine, ten hours a day. Doing very little real work. It's been nice. Life resumes next Tuesday.
