I really wanted to get work done today. Well, THAT didn't happen. ^.^;;

Ended up going down to the BX/PX (cookie for someone who knows what both stand for). Bought the new Premiere, Anne Perry's No Graves As Yet, and Nora Roberts' Winner Takes All. Actually my Granddaddy got it for me.

The upside of going to the Commisary is that we get to park up close in the Colonel only space.

Christmas shopping is finally over! Everything is wrapped. Thankfully. I ended up paying for my Mums gift all by myself. It wasn't very expensive but it's coming from all the kids so I thought they could contribute.

Sam bought me the new SciFi channel magazine with the David Hewlett and Amanda Tapping interview! *squee* Of course it counts as a christmas present so I don't get it till saturday. I read part of it, while waiting for my Mum outside borders express.

I'm dreaming of a white christmas...and a white five days before christmas

I need another day to study for my damn final.

Dude, it's snowing at my nana's house but not at mine.

SHE LIVES A BLOCK AWAY.

WTF?!?!?!?

"Separation" - W.S. Merwin

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color

"Sleeping They Bear Me" - Alfred Mombert

Sleeping they bear me
Into my homeland,
From far away I come,
Hither over peaks and chasms
Over a dark ocean
Into my homeland.

Now that I have quelled the strongest of the giants,
Out of the Darkest land
Won my way home,
Led by a white fairy hand-

Echo heavy the bells.
And I stagger through the streets
Sleep-bound.

So I have one crocheted fingerless mitt done. It's warm but I need to finish the second one.

Dear Santa Baby,
