Well, now I have a new LJ layout and Christmas icons. I think the layout needs a bit of tweaking still, but I'm happy with it. I briefly, briefly considered buying a Christmas LJ layout - some of the paid layouts are nice, but when I checked the price out, I had sticker shock. $21 for a stock design layout? No, it wasn't that pretty.

Starting to feel slightly festive - I've even got some Christmas cards to send out this year too. Speaking of which I have my Christmas card list from last year. And since I have new f-list friends, if anyone would like a card, just send me a PM and I will happily add you to my list.

My Slashy Valentine 2015 sign-ups are picking up steam, thanks to the wonderful people who have promoted so far. If anyone wants to help spread the word this week too, that would be awesome. We've got new people joining us, which is always great and it's wonderful to have all our regulars sign up too.

In other news, I had a great trip to Iceland and a very, very brief but enjoyable time in NYC, job prospects are looking up, and life goes on.

Only a month or so between updates - go me, lol. Sometimes I don't have very fannish stuff to say and I don't often use this place for RL stuff. I think this year is going to be one of the more stressful Christmases I've had. Family drama happens at the slightest provocation - all of last year was like that, couldn't go a holiday or a birthday without a huge fight (and this year we've got at least two birthdays and two holidays within the same four week span). This year has been much better, but I can feel it creeping up again. Work is very busy too, and I've found myself handed more projects with fast deadlines. I am assigned to an end of the year conference and I've come to dread it and wish I had my New Year's Eve weekend back. I love New Year's.

But a high point this week is I get to go to the midnight showing of the Hobbit with all my siblings. It should be non-stressful and just a really enjoyable experience, no matter how the Hobbit turns out (I have concerns). It's been a while since we've done something all together. I also get to sleep in the morning, so yay, lol.

This is the long way of saying that I was able to purchase some Christmas cards I like and I'm going to get them sent out over the weekend. I think I have all my usual addresses sorted out, but I'd like to know if anyone else would like a card from me. Please drop me a PM if you do and we'll exchange addresses. :) I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] saruwatari!
