Christmas holidays
Dec. 25th, 2012 11:53 pmMerry Christmas everyone, and/or Happy Holidays! I hope you're having a good time.
I'm still exhausted from my week of much too little sleep, but naps are wonderful things and it's getting better. Also coffee.
Yesterday I finished making and wrapping Christmas presents an hour before dinner - no pressure - and then instead of taking a nap I listened to another episode of Cabin Pressure. How is it this funny? I don't think I can listen to it on the bus, the other people would be annoyed.
Quotes from Little Brother during Christmas lunch:
"I always thought seals look like a combination of teddy bears and clubs."
"Austria looks like a club. But it's not in 3D. So it's more like a projection of a club on a spherical body." Me: "But not a smooth sphere. It was nibbled on by space mice." And then we both started humming one of our favorite Christmas songs that starts with "Es kommt ein Schiff geladen/A loaded ship is arriving."
LB currently has math disease: everything he sees reminds him of math. It's funny for me ;)
We sang about twenty songs, some of them in four voices, that's my favorite part of Christmas.
I got "Freebird" from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
layla! I read through it immediately on Christmas Eve and I loved it.( A bit more, no spoilers )
And today I finally saw "The Hobbit"! It's fantastic. ( General impressions, very minor spoilers )

kitakatzz lost her vids and is asking people to re-upload them for her if they have them here. She is the creator of such wonderful vids as "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Static", and "Fix You", and I hope she gets all of them back so I can watch the far too many I haven't seen yet.
Tomorrow I'll attempt to clean my room, phone everyone I didn't reach yet to wish Merry Christmas, do some homework, watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special, watch a DVD I got (The Great Debaters), visit friends for lunch, and read some Yuletide fics. I still want to do some sga_santa recs, but didn't have the time yet, and there's some OTW stuff to be done. Still a lot to do, but now I can sleep again, it feels great. And on Thursday I leave for the World Universities Debating Championship in Berlin! I think it'll be a lot of fun.
