I've bought my Slacker Santa gifts, but haven't yet posted them - so, clearly not going to be there by Christmas or New Year, but should insh'allah arrive in January.
crosses fingers. tells self not to procrastinate like a procrastinaty thing, as is her wont.
I should do it today, shouldn't I? Right. Right, I'll do it today, and now I've said so here that means I HAVE to do it, so I can come back and report it done. Must drag self out of apartment. Ahem.
Meanwhile, I blame askye for the fact that this past week I seem to have just sort of stumbled into Second Life, pretty much on a demonic whim of curiosity out of
in nowhere
(...er, unless I can blame The Guild. Which, actually, is closer to the truth, iirc my chain of thought) and, OMG, I can see how this could be a real time-eater. Real time open mic poetry readings, and steampunk worlds, and karaoke clubs, and I seem to have (1) acquired an EFL job teaching people in China via SL, and (2) auditioned for & got the role of Magenta in a forthcoming "live" SL production of
The Rocky Horror Show.
Um. So - yeah, I can totally understand how askye came to be sucked in! And I'm delighted it's had such a lovely RL consequence for her and for SLNRLBF.
Right. Backing away from the internet now. (I'll do a proper rundown of 2009 later, I swear - just wanted to say I've got the pressie, and try to guilt myself into getting on with the all-important posting bit now.)
I think I've given up on the missing piece for my secret santa so I'm hoping to wrap and ship today. Might have to push til tomorrow depending on what today brings.
But I got a lovely package of packages yesterday! I'm trying to hold out on opening until the day, but that's also going to depend on how today goes. Wheee!
Even though I wasn't originally a slacker, I've fallen way behind on my Secret Santa responsibilities. I hope to have a package of awesome in the mail by early next week.
You're mailing yourself??? How many stamps does it take to mail a Scola??
Depends, are they self-stick or do they have to be licked?
My Secret Santa is mailed! Well, not my Santa. But my gift. And it likely won't get there on time, but still. My Boxing Day present is mailed!
Sumi, Oh good, it got there quickly! Yay living near the big Bay Area main PO.
curious collection of things
This is what happens when you don't fill out ALL of Deena's DB form! I tried to tick off as many things you *did* answer as best as I could. I hope the dishes weren't broken or the ornaments bent! (Those really are random, but pretty.)

Hah. I love Deena's DB form and it is definitely exhaustive. She rocks for being the keeper of it.
Fay it is a time suck and I spend a lot of time just taking pictures of things. You can control the way the sky looks and that really makes for interesting landscapes.
If you haven't found it, you must check out the shop Silent Sparrow. And the Babbage sim (steam punk)
