It is certainly a time of year!

Wow, is it December already? How'd that happen? Luckily I have hot chocolate, so it isn't all bad!

I've been quite busy recently getting ready. Went to the storage to get the decorations out and had to carry them all the way home on Saterday, which was pretty tiring (don't ask!), then I put them up on Sunday. Pictures to follow (hopefully)! After sending off all my Christmas cards last week, today I've (almost!) finished my present shopping, so things are definately in motion.

In slightly unrelated news, there's been a delay in my passport application, so I might not be able to visit my family this Christmas, which is not great, although I wasn't too sold on the idea for a couple reasons, so who knows. Hopefully it'll all come through. On the positive side, I can get a replacement degree certificate, so that's good! Ah, time to go back to the post office. How many times have I sent things off in the past few weeks?

I think this is going to be the 6th. Do I get a loyalty card?

In other news, I seem to be doing better when it comes to my writing routine, so I hope that continues, and I may have updates on that soon!

Speaking of updates, anyone who wants to know the status of my Football Manager random number generated team, well, I quit after they got better results than my regular team. I guess the computer really does know what it's doing...

Love Live 7&8

I think she's copying my style

Love Live season 1 continues and how many anime am I watching right now that's involved ballet at one point or another? Clearly I have good taste. Or maybe I just know what I like.

Maybe it isn't such good taste, I think the one thought that came out of episode 7 was that I'm really not a huge fan of Nozomi's running gag and, from what I hear, it's pretty much a running theme in the series. So that's not great. But aside from that, the anime's been alright so far. It's all fairly predictable, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing if they do it well. I'm enjoying it, mostly. The characters are likable, Nico has been amusing since her introduction, and Rin is pretty cool. So much so that when I was at Hyper Japan I picked this up, despite only seeing a handful of episodes!


Which is pretty cool as well! Patch out!

Icon dilemma

So I have a Christmas-themed icon (it's Pique from Princess Tutu with a bad santa hat put on her in paint!) for Twitter, and I feel I should have something similar here. Problem is, I like my witchy Halloween icon too much to change it!

I could always put a hat on the Hex Maniac, I feel she'd apprectiate that. I'll make a decision further along December, I think


Snow was a mistake
