Arbitrary dividing line between one solar revolution and the next
We had a subdued New Year -- had friends over for dinner and a game of Killer Bunnies, stayed up to watch the ball drop, and that was it. Today we put away all the decorations and hauled the tree out to the front yard. We'll take it to the park where the city is collecting them for mulch tomorrow. It's been hard to get excited about the holidays this year -- I wish I could, but it's all seemed like a depressing chore. We're supposed to go see Kathy's mother in Florida at the end of March, and I've been hoping that prices on plane tickets would drop after the holidays. So far, they've been doing the exact opposite, but I'll give it another week or two before panicking.
I hatched three eggs this morning for New Years in Flight Rising. Two of them were butt ugly, but one came out obsidian/sanguine/ice. It's very striking. I had planned on keeping it and gening it myself, but I've had three people contact me to ask if I want to sell it. It is admittedly a very nice color combo, but it doesn't even have matching eyes (Water), so I'm a little surprised. I also have a royal/purple/royal born on Christmas that I've been thinking of trying to auction -- no one's beating down my door for that one, but it is a G1 double, so it ought to be bring in something.
I updated the theme on my DW journal, and discovered that there are some fairly nice looking ones available now -- still not nearly as many as LJ, but way more than the last time I checked. There's still no image hosting worth mentioning, though, which is annoying. I know it's the most server-intensive thing, and I understand why a small outfit like DW hasn't made it a priority, but still... annoying. If someone ever figures out how to mush Tumblr's easy of graphics together with the LJ/DW posting and commenting interface, they could RULE THE NET.
I had intended to work on the last part of Little Sister over the holidays, but events (and laziness) conspired against me. Plus it's been more difficult than anticipated to figure out how to convey all the info I want to convey in the POVs I'm limited to. The whole story has alternated between Buffy and Addie, and I don't want to suddenly bring in Spike or Bill or Lydia, so I've got to figure out how Buffy or Addie can be present for certain conversations.
