This has been a first week of Yule gifts -- I got great books on Wednesday at our Yule party (Michael Chabon's latest from
foi_nefaste, The Monster Hunter's Guide from
em_fish, and a mountain of books from our city's dying gay bookstore from
montrealais -- including some works of history and one about Harry Hay).
And yesterday,
jenjoou and
maidenofirisa got me the DS sequel to Final Fantasy XII, which I think I'm really going to love.
Thank you everyone!
Strangely, my 9th consecutive day of work is going much more smoothly than my 8th -- I'm not quite as exhausted, and having gotten a lot of writing done this morning helps. I may even have the energy to go to the library this evening and do more research.
In much nastier news, the Action Démocratique du Québec is opposing
a new religion and ethics class that talks about all religions, without the traditional Catholic bias. Mario Dumont -- scary, reactionary indvidual that he is -- is naturally opposing this move towards secularism.
