In the absence of the mud yesterday evening, I managed to get quite a lot done!
Went up to the stables to see Ziggy and say hi to everyone, and discovered they're having a xmas party tomorrow night. Which should get going around the time we're all leaving the pub from the end-of-work pissup tomorrow afternoon... Could be interesting.

Came home, made food, even cleaned the kitchen (a bit) and, after dinner, decided to set up the new printer/scanner thing that came with the laptop. The *sensible* thing to do would, obviously, have been to clear the desk and set it up there. Not on the sofa 'to see if it works' first.
Still, it's a big sofa, there's room for me and it ;p
Then played with scanning a couple of photos and now need to buy paper to play with the printing, but for once I achieved technological SUCCESS without swearing, disaster, or throwing anything. Go me!
Just think tho, now I can scan all those photos (but not Those Photos) from years ago when there was No Digital! Hours of fun tormenting Thesme reminsicing lie ahead.

Also watched How To Look Good Naked. Love Gok. Why is he not my best friend and personal shopper??
'Fetch me that waist cinching belt, we're going to party!'. Must. Fight. Desire. To. Buy. Huge. Belt.

OOh also go home to find a Mysterious Package on the doorstep which, given previous experience, made me distinctly nervous, but thankfully turned out to be a present of No Horror at all - Slash's autobiography! Shall look forward to reading that over xmas. And possibly comparing with Lemmy's. I feel Lemmy may still win tho.

And then the mud came back, so all was well and I could stop doing things.

How did you spend your evening?

Hello! I worked late, was frog marched to the new Ikea by my boss and didn't have a panic attack (though it came close once), popped in to see L at knitting for 15 minutes, went home, had soup, wrote 50 christmas cards, realised I only had 40 addresses, panicked, emailed people wildly, got stoned, fell asleep.

I want Gok and a Huuuuuuuuuuje belt too :(

If you torment me, I'll torment you.

Just sayin'

I had a nice relaxing evening of doing nothing much (TM), in this case specified as nostalgia caused by playing an old computer game with GRAPHICS and everything as the MUd was down.

Then the MUd came back up again and ruined my whole evening! Do you have any idea how much whine those bloody numberchasers can come up with when they lose 3 days worth of playing? :(

Oh, and I stayed up to 3am helping this player here, posting about that issue there, listening to whine and moan and trying to be nicely supporting back and things like that. Feel a bit tired today for some reason...

Oh well, here's to hoping most of the problems will be fixed when I get home tonight

I was so tired... Watched Fraisier, fell asleep, watched Scrubs, went to the shop for crisps and chocs, watched Heston Blummenthal being insane, watched The Missionary (free with my mum's Mail on Sunday), went to bed.
