silent night holy night

Basically: yuletide fail (4500 words! none of them ANY GOOD); Christmas shopping fail (four presents! Have I got them? Guess); birthday present fail (shimgray's birthday is November 17th); work fail (mock civil advocacy assessment tomorrow - need to read case, write submissions, IRON MY SHIRT, which of these have I done, hmmm); cool temperate maritime fail (cold, wet, cold, wet, no heating, cold, wet); daylight savings fail (sunset in Oxford, December 15th, 2009 - 3.52pm); and getting-out-of-bed fail (er - I didn't).

Also I am nearly out of filter coffee. But I am going to survive to the end of this week, I am going to go home for Christmas, all will be fine, in the words of gamesiplay's soothing and affirmative mantra for the time of year, ALL IS CALM AND ALL IS FUCKING BRIGHT, GODDAMMIT.

Have some Christmas carols and winter-themed whatnots:

-Sixpence None The Richer - Carol of the Bells;
-Stars - Fairytale of New York;
-Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song (m4a);
-Sarah McLachlan - The First Noel (m4a);
-Vienna Teng - The Atheist Christmas Carol.


The holiday love meme - I'm here. I have dropped across and posted love on the people I know (and love, obv). The world needs love today.

And now, back to sorting my life out.

Exeunt, reciting "all is calm all is bright all is calm all is FUCKING BRIGHT GODDAMMIT..."
