Apparently I hadn't completely backed upmy music before my desk top died last summer. At any rate, I'm pretty sure all the Christmas music is on it (Mediamonkey can't find any of it, and there were tonnes of wassail songs, and a version of Gabriel's Message, and Dancing Day, and I have a yen for Torches, and it's all gone.).

I've wrapped everything for Christmas. TomorrowToday I may buy a tree. This is exciting. The flat smells of cinnamon and ginger and cloves (because I have a Christmas scents candle going *g*). The floor is labelled 'Dear Dad, Happy Christmas, love [me]' until I locate the white spirit. When I say wrapped, one or two parcels remind me more of some vaguely Christmas themed mummification.

I need something else for my Dad, and I've decided, in a moment of extreme grumpiness, to get work related books for one of my siblings. I could have gone with vouchers, but this is a way to put in thought, time and effort, and *actively* annoy them.

Next, Christmas cards. Tomorrow, the world! bwah ha ha ha...

Um.

And I'm about to post this, and discovered that dear old LJ have reset my layout to Vertigo for some unknown reason. Perhaps they can censor things more closely in it. No *thank you*. Handily, while you can't see Xcolibur normally, if you go to http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?view=schemes you can. So I did.

I am ... concerned. Journalfen was down for the best part of a week last week. Livejournal is definitely going to the dogs (though the staff appear to be getting better, the decisions are worse). I'm definitely thinking Insanejournal.
