annathepiper+0. The mysterious mumak is identified! Except now he's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mikekn and I actually know who that is, so onto the Friends list he goes. Hi Mike!
+1. A package fromlyonesse has arrived for myself, solarbird, and mamishka, containing--or so it is rumored, for I have not seen the insides of said package--lovely things from Lush. Little orcs are so good to us. ^_^
+2. I have received a Christmas card from my little brother, which includes in it shiny new pictures of all four of his current crop of children! Nice piccies, too. Yay kids!
-3. I've been trying some lip goop to soothe my chapped lips lately, except that every time I put some of the stuff on it makes me a little queasy, just from the taste of it on my lips. This is vexing, because, well, my lips are chapped, so I need something to use, but apparently this stuff isn't it. Bah.
+4.gazerwolf showed up last night on my MUSH and I helped him code a teddy bear. Heh. I'd half-forgotten some of my most basic MUSH coding, but it came back pretty quickly!
+5. The next couple work weeks should be pretty laid back. I'm going to be in only two days next week, and the week after that should be short as well thanks to New Year's Eve and New Year's. Whoot!
+6. Oh yes, I forgot! I'd been having this really annoying whine come out of my computer speakers every time I launched Trillian, which is my current IM client of choice just because I like having one client I can use to connect to multiple media, rather than having to use four different programs. Apparently, however, the Pro edition of Trillian tends to be a CPU hog. And on my box this means that it generates this subtle but fuck-all annoying whine. But, it seems that this CPU hoggishness goes away if I tell XP to run this program in Win98 compatibility mode. This makes NO SENSE to me, but at least the damned thing has stopped whining. It was driving me batshit.
+7. This quiz amuses me, because unless there's some sort of weird sonnet form with which I am unfamiliar that involves extra syllables stuck in on the last couple of lines, this sonnet is actually written wrong. ;) But it could be worse, and this is certainly one of the best-spelled quiz results I've ever had!
But I love sonnets. I am still extremely proud of the ones I wrote for Alan Doyle's hair and Russell Crowe's lovesick cow! So it pleases me to get sonnet as my result. ^_^
