i r winnarz

So I have an email in my work inbox from the Library Dean from yesterday, and the subject line is "We are all winners". And I know it has to do with some campus honor that's being bestowed on the Library as a whole, but I can't help but feel it's the sort of thing said to the special kids on the short bus, if you know what I mean. :|

Mint mocha ♥ It is a good thing, because I FFXII'd and read my way into 2.5 hours sleep again (WoW beta server lag made play literally impossible, so I blame it for being on FFXII in the first place.) So am jittery like mad, yet I can already tell I'm wobbly into emotional (listening to one of the radio stations talk about their upcoming adopt-a-family holiday charity drive got me sniffly). Picked up the Sarah McLachlan holiday CD while there, which I am telling myself not to listen to yet--but egads, it is the worst picture of her *ever* on the cover. O_o

Of FFXII--♥♥♥♥♥ Every time I play I fall in love all over again. Vaan is so pretty >o< The game is so...original Star Wars-ey feeling (first appearance of a certain Judge and I was hearing the Imperial march in my head, not to mention Vader breathing when he spoke :|). The BalthVaan vibes I get make me wibblllllllllllllllllle~ >o< So much brother angst ToT zomgreksnooooes/cry I also get BaschVaan vibes and I would so not mind BaschBalthVaan fic or art, but I think I've said that before. :| Also, Kel and I fangeeked on the game a half hour after I arrived this am. Wish I were home playing. T__T

PlayArts figures arrived D:!! At least, the KH2 4-set from Mom, I think. I am torn D: They are for Christmas, but I want to open now. Mom says to check them to make sure they're okay. D: But it's only mid-November, not at all close to Christmas. And if I open box to check them, I will completely open and start to play with them and place them in strange and perverse poses. D: So, yes, torn. Also I need to clean off the top of my desk to have a spot for them. Hope the cats (by which I mean Bebop the Destructor) don't mess with 'em. I could put them on top of the one entertainment center, but would rather have them where I can actually see them and play with them and you know, perverse poses while at the computer. :|

Grey and misty and dreary, though the actual snowish/iceish stuff went south (figures). Heard Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer on the radio, and GAH wish I could somehow get my Greatest Hits CD of theirs from home because the weather and my mood would fit so gd well with their music. Wah. /sigh

...am I finally done babbling? I think so. About time, eh? :|


In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Lie la lie ...

24 Wednesdays = 1 case

So I fail at not listening to that Sarah McLachlan holiday CD I bought this morning--worse that I just finished with my second listen. :| It's so very pretty though, several original songs that are so very good, and covers of classic carols that while sung in a way that make them sound very different than I'm used to are really nice and are growing on me. And ohman, she does a really good Silent Night. *wibble*

I'm so weak for Christmas/holiday music. SO. Massively, utterly weak to it. I can tell I'll be weepy to this CD (as I am to much of my TransSiberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller) when in the right moods. >_>; Speaking of TSO and Mannheim, guess I'll be getting those out sooner than I'd originally planned :| :| So weeeeeeeeeeeeeak. (Ohyesand, going to the TSO concert with my brother and his gf the Tues. before Thanksgiving :o ...HOLY NUGGET, that's a week from now O_O AUGH TIME YOU'RE GOING SO FAST WTF I NEED TO START XMAS SHOPPINGS *FLAILS*)

...egads.
