don't forget / to keep your head warm

feeling very ... erm. transient. s'pose it's the proper way to feel the day after Christmas, but this was a particular kind of transient -- one which I don't usually connect with 12/26. spent the first half of the day listening to Bowie and driving around; chauffering the brother-kid and then trying and failing to find a post-Christmas Christmas present for __dtrain. then I decided I perhaps felt like writing; tried and failed at that and at eating dinner, so I thought maybe I'd better watch something instead, where "something" equals Tipping the Velvet, which I've read as the novel but never watched the adaptation. so I'm about ... an eighth of the way through part 2 of 3? and there's that.

got a lovely tallship glass paperweight and the Yale Shakespeare (complete works; great big beautiful replacement for my loved-to-death cross-generational Big Black Book of Shakespeare) from the parents, and smelly lotion stuff and chocolates from the aunts and uncles. small Christmas. nice Christmas :)

so there's also that.


also stole a few small boxes for the sending of cookies! :D
