New Year Is Coming
Dec. 31st, 2014 11:59 pmAnd I have so much to catch up on. . . I suspect my first act of 2015 (holy crap) will be to clean out my e-mail inbox as best I can. At least I'm caught up on Forgotten Vows's tumblr replies. . .
Okay there's a bunch of stuff I've been meaning to get to over the past couple of days, so let's take it all on now in one year-ending rush:
-->Have started Snuff, am enjoying it just like every Pratchett story. I've been squeeing like mad about how adorable Young Sam (now six) is, and how cute Sam and Sibyl are, and how hilariously awkward Sam is with the staff. . . They're old friends now, I swear it. I know that sounds odd, but -- I've been reading these books for years. I was there when Sam met Sibyl. They are old friends, and I'm delighted at the chance to catch up with them again.
( This One's Long )
-->Half day today at work -- quiet as anything. But somebody brought in some half-decent peanut brittle, and I hit Subway once things were done for a Meatball Marinara on my gift card, so that was nice.
-->Had a scare with my computer speakers earlier -- I was just sitting down to ice cream and Linkara's Top 15 Worst Comics I've Reviewed (and some of the choices are not as obvious as you might think -- and he disqualified the one that probably would win the lifetime achievement award), when I turned on the video and noticed the ad's sound was so staticy you couldn't even hear it. I thought it was the add, but then Linkara himself was all staticky. . .and YouTube, while better, still had noticeable pops. I was deeply irritated with what I felt to be unacceptable wear and tear in a brand-new computer --
When I did a final test with some of my music, and found nothing wrong.
Result? Problem was apparently with Firefox, or perhaps Blip -- I closed out the browser and opened it again, and things are fine now. The hell. (I also had my DW background disappear on me briefly, until I changed my theme and then changed it back. Again, the hell.)
-->Comparing the beginning of the year to the end in DragonVale and seeing that we've come a loooong way baby.
And now it's almost time for the ball to drop, so Happy New Year! *blows noisemaker* I will catch up with everything then, I promise!
