they've gone to plaid!
(spaceballs was on earlier. she's gone from suck to blow!)
today we got out of work early, and i meant to come home and do laundry, but it was snowing by the time i got off the t and was waiting for the bus, and it was still snowing when i got home, so... no. i sat around and watched doctor who reruns instead. and i had chinese takeout for dinner, because the temptation was OVERWHELMING and also i'm lazy.
even tho! i will be having chinese on sunday, and twice on monday, and at least one more time next week. but whatever. i just won't get the same thing more than once. :D
we had a yankee swap at work on wednesday, and in addition to the fun and silly gifts (jenga, a nerf dart gun, a spongebob chia head, a desk catapult) (by which i mean a tiny catapult for you to fling things at your coworkers from your desk, not a catapult that will fling your desk) there was a bottle of wine, a bottle of tito's vodka, and some shmancy chocolate. i ended up with a food and wine trivia game that looks like trivial pursuit without the board.
confabulation which is the successor to wincon is next october in chicago (heh!) and... i'm not totally sure i want to go. this is weird to me. i mean, i went to every wincon, and every year i was all THESE ARE THE DATES THIS IS THE CITY YOU SHOULD ALL GO IT'S THE BEST TIME. but i don't feel as close to fandom as i used to. i don't know. it's just a weird feeling.
map of australian sheep and wheat distribution from the 20s. i love that huge swaths of the country are "no sheep" or "some sheep". just some. :D
zora neale hurston, who's known for her fiction, has non-fiction coming out next year. (this is notable partly because she died in 1960.) it's about the last known survivor of the transatlantic slave trade. i've never read any of her work, but this sounds harsh and fascinating.
enjoy some english cathedral nativities. some of them are, uh, special. i like the knitted nativity with the octopus, tho. (scroll down.) and the one at st albans is adorable and squishy-looking.
