Hurrah! Alicey got my Christmas gift! I sent her Neverwhere to get her hooked on Neil Gaiman and Faust Eric, because someone stole her copy. And all is well with the world.
I decided a few days ago that Renata has the best taste in music in the entire world, and perhaps surrounding planets. Read her blog and absorb her coolness.
New layout! On Monica’s influence, of course. She’s a fickle muse, she is. Opinions?
Note: There is no especially devious reason why I change CoL’s layouts more often than tnm.n or WIAN or whatever. I see it every day, so I get tired of it faster. And it’s just one page of updating, rather than 100+.
Point of interest: My first black background! Aww, get your Baby Books and cameras ready. Well, not really my *first*. Back when I was trying to make an X-Files website (it never opened, thank god), it had a black background. But this is my first serious layout with a black background. So yeah.
Oh wait. I lied. The Blogger layout parody had a black background. Okay, going over here now…
God help me, I’m in love with Photoshop 7. And all I’ve done is fiddle around with the brushes and Liquify tool.
I don’t even want to know how deep this love will reach when I start playing around with the other features.

Presenting Lord of the Rings: Film Noir!
No one else in the family had seen LotR:TTT, so I went to see it a third time. We went to see FotR last Christmas, so it’s getting to be a bit of a tradition. Anyway, I felt much like Percy Weasley in my Penn sweater: maroon with a navy blue “P” knitted to the front. Hurrah for unintentional Harry Potter references!
And go see Alicey’s Christmas present. Still incomplete; I’ll post the final version in the next few days, then send the original to Alicey. Hurrah! Lord Vetinari, the Patrician.
::overjoyed squeal::
Photoshop 7 upgrade! Penn insignia! Books, books, books! Sandman! Tori Amos! Warm clothes! What a Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Solstice! Happy Agnostica! Happy Atheist-Children-Get-Presents-Day! Happy 25th of December!
…and to all a good night!
Holy cow. I just had the most phenomentally amazing dream. ::runs away to write down every detail:: There was color. And there was sound. Two things I was never quite sure I dreamed in, but know I know for certain. Good gravy, my subconscious is brilliant.
Die Blogger Die. It’s GreyMatter for me.
