i take it back. be overcome with pity for me. this holiday bites.

i would like to profess my new love for the actions palette in photoshop. it makes formatting batches of images a breeze. why wasn't i made aware of this sooner?

i got a swank new haircut today and a surprise half day off (in addition to a number of other days and half days which still don't have straight).

i guess i must have had christmas early, because i'm not feeling much of anything holiday. no tree, no lights, no presents. no television to watch oddly animated holday classics. i'm not able to visit my family and everyone i know is going to be with theirs, so no one to coax out to frederick. then again, it rained all morning and the pansies really started blooming. you try and be christmasy in the face of bright yellow pansies and 60 degree weather. i dare you.

(before you are overwhelmed with pity for me, my family celebrates st. nicolas day, on the sixth. there were several presents and cards around then.)

i still plan to have my christmas orange tomorrow though, along with gingerbread (bread, not cookies) and some marzipan. but damn. a little snow, please? or at least pretend that it's winter?

it's a weird christmas, charlie brown.
