Ding dong, Christmas bells ringing on the radio~ ♪ ♫ ♪
Oh man. Getting coffee as a surprise in the mail is the best thing ever. Thank you again, Ardis. <3 Now, let's just hope my parents don't drink all of it before I get a taste. That's what happened the last time I had special coffee. :|
The last week has been so busy! Work has been frustrating as hell - I feel like a chicken running around with its head cut off. The store is crazy-busy due to people coming in to buy things for last-minute Christmas parties. If only they'd plan ahead.
Of course, when I'm working so much, that would be the time I get so much inspiration to write! It makes perfect sense! Argh, I have a million stories running through my brain right now, but I'm not going to have a moment's rest or any time to think until about January 01, I expect. Woe is me. ... Though I actually did manage to get about half a page written on one of my Swe/Fin stories the other day, so all isn't lost.
I've been working on the revamp of the Baltic Index off-and-on, whenever I get a tiny bit of time. It's going slowly. Mostly I'm indexing the latest Part + unfilled requests (beginning with Est, as he has the fewest). Then I'll move on to the fills and filled requests. The new Baltic Index is here, and as y'can see, it looks pretty much the same as my Nordic Index.
Anyway. I finished reading World War Z. I... enjoyed it. Mostly. Though I did find it disturbing. I still haven't been able to quite put my finger on what I find so utterly terrifying about contagion, zombies, and end-of-the-world scenarios, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. I'll probably read one of the Moomins books next as a palate cleanser. When Diplopod sent me that box of books, I probably could have read them all in succession, but I'm rather glad that I decided to (mostly) keep them reserve to follow whenever I read something disturbing. Come to think of it, I still haven't finished watching the series, either... I've kind of slowed down with it because I have more difficulty paying attention to the raw episodes, on account of it being harder to figure out what's going on.
... I think that's it for now. There are a few things that I had considered discussing, but after thinking about it, writing about those problems won't make me feel any better, so there we are.
[eta] OH. ALSO. I was playing the harmonica this evening, and I finally managed to do a recording of The Highwaymen's "Rover" without making any mistakes! Yes. I'm so proud of myself.
