'Scopes for Today

There's this ...

If you're involved with theater, dance or painting, dear Cancer, the day ahead will be a bright one for you. You feel a strong desire to bring people together in pursuit of some artistic endeavor. Listen to your longings. You are likely to be a sharp talent scout, or, at the very least, a person who is able to enhance other people's talents.

and this ...

You have been feeling down lately, what some refer to as a depressed state. You can rejuvenate yourself by spending more time on becoming active. Walking every day will draw on the body's natural endorphins to help you stay balanced. You will notice the results after just a few days. This will also bring other health benefits so keep it going.

And this ...

You feel just a wee bit out of balance today and that could mean it's time to readjust or reprioritize your activities. If you're not in the mood, the push ahead anyway -- but expect a few bumps along the way!

and this ...

The Five of Cups card suggests that my power today lies in a crossroads. I am not alone. I intend to let go of despair or nostalgia and I choose to make peace with loss or express mourning in order to move forward. I release the rut of regret and the fear of tomorrow to make way for forgiveness, pleasure, beauty, and hope. I am empowered by my conscience and my gift is forgiveness.

Christmas Wishlist Meme

Step One

Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals, or holiday_wishes) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holi ---

Sorry about the interruption - I'll just get onto the wishlist in a mo.

I'm in the library right now, and there's a couple of pigeons outside. The computer annexe's got these huge floor to ceiling windows - it's all just big glass walls, so there's an uninterrupted view of the world outside. So I can see these pigeons, and now one of the squirrels, handily.

Man, those are two fat fucking pigeons, and that squirrel's packing a lot of meat under his fur, as well. But by God, can it move. :)

Anyway, back you go ...

--- day special.

( And What Would A Warlock Wish For? )

That's really it. If there's anything else, I will post it later.

Case For My Camera

I've got myself a new case for the camera I bought Saturday. It'll fit into my rucksack, meaning I can carry around the new camera (as yet unnamed) safely ish.

The price I pay is that I'll no longer have quite as much space for all the books and stuff I usually carry, so I'll have to get used to leaving a ton of it behind all the time.

I also deposited funds from the Royal Bank of Sock into my Lloyds TSB account, so my balance doesn't look too badly stung.

It means waiting till next Tuesday and the first reminder from SWALEC before paying off the electricity, but they're really gonna have to wait. Who the hell would be such a Scrooge as to send bills at Christmas anyway? :D

This week, I've got the Christmas shop to do. And that takes priority.

Tonight, I think I shall do something for myself. It's about time I got back into the swing with the Fourth Rewrite once again. I have 21 days left of this year, Xmas and Boxing Day and all that crap notwithstanding, and there's nothing else for me to do that takes priority, so I may as well wrap up Book One tonight and over the next few days.
