'Tis the season . . .

to procrastinate. Well, actually, any season is the season to procrastinate, but I seem to have been hit with it hard just now. I've found it difficult to develop any interest in anything related to turning on my computer for the last I don't know how long. This happens when I am especially busy at work as I have been the last couple of weeks. I spend all day tied to my computer there and I just don't have much interest in getting on my computer at home. I've also been fortunate in having a lovely book to read (Shadowmarch by Tad Williams) and in having a slew of DVDs to watch - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, Crusade, The Complete Series. And I've also been busy getting Christmas cards in the mail and finding Christmas ornaments that have something to do with Christmas and aren't advertising for TV shows or movie studios or sports figures or toy manufacturers. I can remember when Hallmark used to make Christmas ornaments for Christmas and not promotional gewgaws for hawking whatever it is that has nothing to do with Christmas.

Anyway, I just thought I'd pop in and say something before people began to think I had really and truly fallen off the face of the earth.
