Jan. 2nd, 2011 04:53 pmHello, flist! Why yes, I have survived the holidays more or less in one piece. It was touch-and-go there for a while due to surprise relatives and in particular my 90+ year-old grandmother coming to stay for a while. But overall, I've had a pleasant week and a bit. I hope you guys all have too!

attilatehbun, I got your card and package and was super delighted by both. You are seriously the sweetest thing ever. What is that all about?
✣ I went and saw The King's Speech on New Year's Eve and enjoyed it a lot. I've always found that particular period of Royal scandal interesting, but everything I've ever read about it has always focused on the David Edward and Wallace Simpson aspect of things, with George VI as a footnote more often than not. I was very pleased to see the movie twist it around. How perfectly cast was Guy Pearce (and everyone else too but seriously Guy Pearce)?
✣ And then I basically listened to DJ Earworm's 2010 mash-up until midnight. Which I have had stuck in my head since. Good times.
✣ I now officially have a word file saved in my writing folder entitled "SKRULL PRESIDENT.docx". Consider yourselves all forewarned.
✣ My little sister gave me Mass Effect 2 for Christmas, and I was enjoying the heck out of it until my desktop computer decided to sputter and die. So now I'm in the market for a new desktop. Still! Mass Effect 2! Like the Seven Samurai but in space! I'm liking it so much more than the first one so far, and the first one is one of my favourite games of all time.
✣ I felt like I had more to say, but hmmm I guess not. Tomorrow I will try to get my butt back into shape for going back to normal life. Tonight, I think I will drink lots of wine, write more SKRULL PRESIDENT (hence the compulsory drinking first), and watch a terrible movie.
A big ♥ to all you guys!
