A Statement Of Festive Intent

Anyone looking for political commentary or heavy-duty opinions can just wait 'til New Year. I'm done with all that for the rest of the year, unless something truly catastrophic and world-changing happens - and that doesn't include "heroic" hackers turning on each other, the US assassinating "Captain Leaky", or the spontaneous combustion of every student fees protestor on Earth...

I'd much rather spend my time writing, or collecting iron to make cannons in Ultima Online, or making my way through the growing library of "classic" films I've been gathering. As far as the former-most (does that actually exist in any dictionary?) is concerned, I'm thinking I've made sufficient progress to start posting Part 2 of The Secret Adventures of Mane-of-Night: Flight 102 Is Overdue. Tomorrow seems like as good a time to start as any.

Must admit I'm feeling rather liberated, writing-wise. I no longer have an artificial dead-line to meet, and the first product of that liberation has been a good deal more satisfying than some pre-"deadline" material. "Year Of Change" - maybe the year of getting my focus back? One can but hope.

Please DON'T SNOW...

I have shopping still to do. I want to go see Tron Legacy tomorrow. I'm mildly pissed off that an Amazon delivery, ordered on the 3rd, and with an estimated delivery date of the 10th STILL HASN'T ARRIVED, long after the snow has melted - will it actually show up before the NEXT lot melts?

Oh gods - please... don't say I just encouraged it to snow tonight. Can't it wait until tomorrow night, please...?

Meanwhile... Yay! See, the postal system DOES work, and I can now declare a start on another Mission 101 Task: namely...

33 - Buy at least three pages of original comic art (1/3)

*SCORE!*
