That's enough of that
After some wonderful discussions, I figured it was time for a return to largely content-free posting. Here you go.
1. IT installed Office 2010 on my computer at work. All I can say is thank god I memorized a lot of hot key commands, and thank god they still work. The command navigation on this is ass.
2. If you use this sort of page-a-day calendar, and you haven't yet recycled your 2010 one, would you please save it for me? I make it into a notepad, thanks to this fantastic product that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roya_spirit purchased for me a couple years ago. I love this stuff. If you'd like me to make you a notepad out of your leftover paper, just let me know. The quart bottle is going to last me the rest of my life. And really, who can't use another pad of scratch paper in their world?
3. Winter finally started do a number on my skin. After going without all summer without a face cream (and most of fall, except for during KCRF when I used sunscreen), I'm starting to get dry and flaky patches on my cheeks. The coconut oil I was using at night isn't working. Well, it works, but it also gets all up in my hair, which is not great.
4. My parents are not visiting for xmas this year, as planned. Never mind why. It's not a health issue or anything. I thought about posting about it (it is kind of a big deal, emotionally), but I don't want to put any more energy into the issue. I am grieved, angry, and disappointed that they won't be visiting. Not because of missing seeing them on the holiday--I couldn't care less about that--but the circumstances around the decision to cancel the trip really really bother me. A lot.
5. I'm up in the air about what to do for NYE. No local activities appeal to me. NYE used to be my favorite holiday, but the past couple years I've been ambivalent about the whole thing. Ambivalent leaning toward dismissive.
6. Hmph.
7. I've been making slow but steady progress on my horror self-education. I hope soon to post my thoughts about what I've read so far (The House on the Borderland, Castle of Otranto, Vathek, Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man).
8. I forget what eight was for.
9. Twenty more work days until I get to take my week away from the office in January. Yay!
10. Fifteen days until I have to have these application files processed and ready for distribution. Eeek!

ETA: No luck on the FB front - will message the details instead, just so you have 'em.

Oh for the days when BR5-49 played at Liberty Hall (http://www.pitch.com/2002-12-26/music/br549/), and everyone dressed up and danced, and there was a balloon drop and confetti!

As for #4... so sorry... but now I can have my snowstorm?

Have fun at Kelley Hunt!

Thanks
I was really worried last year that she'd gone all gospel, but thankfully that didn't happen.
I hope you find something to lift your spirits soon.

I've got it coming from the library, and Vathek is in my stack for after Christmas, probably.

Vathek was troublesome. For many reasons.

That said, I'll definitely have to compare notes once I've read the novel.

AND, I had tickets to see them in Hoch auditorium in 85ish, but didn't go because my boyfriend broke up with me right before and I was too depressed or something. DANG! How stupid was I?

I'm planning on cooking a huge batch of chili on NYE, putting on my pajamas after I walk the dog and doing much of nothing (aside from work on the goddamned book, assuming the goddamned book's not done by then). So, ambivalent's not a bad thing.
