Today’s the first day it’s really felt like xmas season. I suspect that has something to do with the snow and crowds of crazy people (see this week’s M@B comic). I’m nearly finished my shopping now…just one or two more things to get (but I have to think of them first). I spent all morning on the go, and my burgeoning cold is beginning to slow me down, so I’m in for the rest of the day.

Yesterday my department had our christmas party at the Duke of York (I came away from the gift-trading insanity with a couple of decent DVDs). After that T-Bone and I caught a movie and did some shopping before eating way too much at Fieramosca and chitchatting away the evening, as Nellie was downtown doing the same with a friend.

Today’s shaping up to be simple: write a paper for my HR course that’s due next week, clean up, throw a few more posts up on AAD and watch the next few episodes of The Wire when poor Nellie gets home from work.

Two weeks!
