Christmas posts aren't necessarily a mandatory thing on my part, but it's Christmas night (technically Boxing Day morning) so I don't really see the need to get to bed too early. Desmond's over from Bath and is already asleep but he's had a couple of pretty long days so I'm not surprised he's tired. And undelicately, your instructions to Desmond HAVE BEEN ( Read more... )

It's going to be Christmas in a couple of hours (awkwardly so, since most other people on my Livejournal list would have started their Christmas) and I don't suppose Christmases (and New Year's Eves) for me aren't complete without some sort of soul-searching.

And now, to compile a list of the things that I have put on my plate (which is, of course, overloaded as usual):

1. JulNoWriMo. Must. Keep. Persevering.

2. James Joyce's Ulysses. I'm going to try to at least get through ... half of it?

3.  Latin. I need to revise it before term starts. Hopefully, if there's a placement test, I don't have to start all ( Read more... )

I watched Rango with isidoree and kira_uj today.
