A big Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Festivus/whatever non-denominational holiday you happen to celebrate (ooooh, look at that political correctness). I know I've been feeling the seasonal spirit lately (particularly since the Arts Night performance. I was called an elf several times (and not of the Tolkein variety!). Not entirely impressed with that, but I suppose I did ask for it, a bit). But I'm hoping all this happy will last up until the end of the month. Then I'm crashing for days.
Finished wrapping all the presents last night, and I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself. Managed to get Taylor's present all finished in less than an hour, and I'm just so excited to hand out gifts. That's my favourite part. Well, also examining my prezzies, and trying to guess what I've gotten this year. That's a lot of fun too.
I had a pretty small list this year, all things considered, and it consisted of a lot of books and useful things (but most of them don't appear on here). And a few seriously materialistic things, but hey, fault me for it.
So, here it is:
1. As Twilight Falls Coat from Modcloth
I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Just. Look at it. I don't normally believe in love at first sight, but this coat made me rethink that.
2. Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G
Again, fairly self-explanatory. In need of a new phone - the old one's not bad, just running a little slowly these days, and the battery lasts about a day, now - and this one seems to suit me very well. Really feature-rich, so I've heard, and I get a Smart Phone while remaining with Samsung (they've served me well over the years).
3. A Study in Scarlet, Arthur Conan Doyle (BBC Sherlock Tie-in)
Does this one even need explaining either? First of all, it's their faces on the cover (I will not frame this book I will not frame this book...) and it's got an introduction by the man himself, Steven Moffat. Also, I don't actually own ASiS, and while it wasn't the first Holmes story I read, it's a pretty pivotal one.
4. An ENORMOUS package of Post-it Notes (multi-coloured!)
My borderline obsessive-compulsive tendencies get all happy inside when I think of putting them up on the wall in front of my desk.
5. The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas & Keats: Poems
Been a fan of Thomas' for ages, and recently got into Keats because of a dramatic reading of Ode to a Nightingale by a certain English actor with a voice like a jaguar playing a cello. If that makes it all the more unfortunate, that is perfectly fine with me.
6. Emma Bridgewater Recipe Book
One can never have too many recipes, but she can run out of space to store them. Hence, this beautiful thing makes its appearance on my list.
7. Ladies Classic Timex
Because "I need a new watch". It's surprisingly less expensive than I thought it would be, and it's got that vintage feel that I'm oh-so-in-love with. I have a thing for leather strapped watches.
8. Giftcards for: Indigo, iTunes, H&M, ModCloth, Best Buy, Think Geek, etc.
Simple to give, and provide me with hours of poring over online inventories. My favourite pasttime!
*BONUS* Acceptance to Concordia, U of T, York.
Because reasons. Duh.
And, that's about it for my list, minus a few films and littler things. Going out to Fabric Land soon, to pick up some microfleece for a project I just decided to start last night (because I'm an idiot, started something different, then decided I'd left things a little late, and would just sew the thing instead). Sarah and Erica are also coming over this evening, and we're watching The Great Game with Erica, because Herself's being a bit ridiculous, and not letting Erica watch it alone. Should be fun, I'm excited.
