So, merry after Christmas! All told, things went alright. I made it through in one piece, most of the things I sent out this year made it on time (the package that was going to be late to Japan even made it!), and I've come out on the other end with new, nifty things.

In an attempt to be moderately responsible, I've started cleaning up my room (something I've neglected for far too long), tossing out old stuff I don't use/wear (they'll be donated), and general reorganizing. Not exactly my favorite aspect of the holiday season, but necessary.

I had some stuff I 'earmarked' to talk about when I got around to writing, but I need to get ready to head out. Apparently I need to (get dragged to) go out for after-Christmas shopping. Fighting crowds and the like. So, you've been saved from some long-winded one-sided conversation this time.

To compensate, I have some photos I uploaded. The first one's me and the horrors of what happens when I go on break and don't shave for 3 weeks (I look like quite the hobo..), taken about 5 minutes ago. The second two are before-and-after shots of Christmas. It goes from nice, tranquil, and serene to pure carnage.

These photos can be found under "more..." at the end of this entry. For anyone who's curious, I always upload photos this way so as to save anyone who just checks the main page from having to scroll page large photos and download all the data. Oh.. and by clicking the images will bring up a 2x version of it (I shrink all images as they're posted to fit into the journal entries).

Alright, off I go to battle crowds. Elbows out, shoulders stiff, and dead, glazed-over look. Got it! Wish me luck.


I'm a hobo!
