I have Christmas cards. Does anyone want one? Addresses screened, or at least set so 'none' can see them, which I hope means I still can. I can't remember who's polls I replied to or didn't, but chances are I'd quite like cards from people. My address is here (though filtered).

Yesterday was an odd and frantic day at work because I spent most of it trying to read fic. Because Guede_Mazaka wrote me fic. Casino Royale fic. James Bond/Le Chiffre. It is violent and smooth and it is great, and I stopped before the spy in Glasgow could read about them having sex. OH GOD I LOVE GUEDE_MAZAKA. She offered me a drabble, she wrote me fic. You should all go read it and leave her praise. And then write me more fic. Or else I'll love her more than you (maybe). Them's the breaks.

Today was simply exhausting, as I took the afternoon off to go Christmas shopping. It went much better than the other Saturday, though I once again BOUGHT THE HEAVIEST THING FIRST. I spent a bit, but I have pretty much everything now except one or two people I have back-up ideas for. And I still have a half-day holiday left, which I totally won't just spend swanning around Leeds drinking swanky coffee and laughing at shoppers and people who have to work. And I still have a few Saturdays. Two Saturdays. That's not a lot. But mostly, whee! Also, I forgot it was Jack's birthday not three weeks after Christmas, so I can totally feel justified in buying him all the other stuff I saw after getting his big present. So hurrah.

In fairness, this may be the only Christmas with Cash To Spend I ever have. Or at least for a few years after this.

I still haven't written my Yuletide fic. I still haven't completely finished that ONE application form I have. I didn't get any Christmas decorationy things. I may need to go to Wakefield as well to get the cats' Christmas present. I have done something to my internet address bar. But I love James Bond (Craig!Bond). And Le Chiffre. They sort of live in my head now. Yay :)
