Two quick thoughts about Nine:
(1) It is the story of Gaius Baltar's life if Gaius Baltar was an Italian film director in the 1950s.
(2) THERE ARE NOT NINE WOMEN. WTF. I AM NOW REALLY CONFUSED BY THE TITLE. So, wherever I heard it's because there are nine women lied, because it's called Nine because it was based on Fellini's 8 1/2, and whoever made the musical version said that adding music added the final half. Or something. IDK.

Christmas was pretty good this year! We were thwarted going to see Nine, but instead we watched True Blood (sidebar: yeah, I started True Blood. I AM LOVING BILL. I am very chagrined by this) and our family dinner was actually incredibly fun and pleasant. I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday!

The food: Turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce, sausages, roast potatoes, sprouts, glazed carrots and parsnips, pudding, and chocolate cake.
The loot: several tree ornaments, chocolate, Doctor Who collector cards, new pyjamas, Half-blood Prince DVD, a book of Bible study notes, more chocolate, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and What I Saw and How I Lied.
The electricity remained on, fortunately, and it is now raining slightly -- hopefully enough to melt the ice on the cables before it turns to sleet. My dad had to go over to the vet this morning with a sheep that randomly got pneumonia, so we had to hold off opening the presents till this afternoon, but it all worked out in the end.

Still more or less snowed in; freezing fog all day. The branches of trees are encased in ice; my father sent my little brother out to break the small saplings loose before they snapped under the weight. My Facebook page is full of friends travelling home to Ireland, hoping that they'll make it and cheering when they do.
The electricity has flickered out a couple of times over the last few days; ice on the wires. Hopefully it will last until we get the turkey cooked tomorrow. We have spent the last day and a half baking, and the cake tin situation is a lot healthier than it was yesterday. Presents are all wrapped and underneath the tree.
Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it!

I just opened a promisingly hefty cake tin, and found it to contain cassette tapes rather than anything edible.
Time to go and bake something, methinks.
ETA: There are, I have discovered, mince pies. They are being stored (where else?) in the bread bin.

So, after years of walloping my sister's ass in the birthday cake department, MEL HAS FINALLY STEPPED IT UP.
I woke up to two cakes- one, a Hello Kitty face and cake shaped and frosted like Madeline. Both homemade chocolate cakes that I love so much, both designed to be AWESOME.
22 is shaping up to be pretty good, so far.

So, the screen of my phone decided to die last night, and my contract isn't up until May, so guess who is rocking her phone from high school?
My life is awesome.

(1) Favorite comment thread ever!
(2) Got my hair cut today. I just wanted side bang, but as I tried to explain this to my hairdresser who only speaks Spanish, I somehow conveyed that I just wanted layers? Short layers? So first I was like, "oh shit, I'm going to wind up with David Cassidy hair." I panicked through giggles. Then suddenly I had a Farrah hair. And by Farrah hair, I mean I had this train of thought (thanks fandom!): OMG I have D'Anna's hair OMG I have disco hair OMG I have Farrah hair Wait I love Farrah hair yay! Then I had this awesome disco-y, feathery hair, and then Virginia like, fluffed all the feathering out. My hair looks good, it's just no longer Farrah hair, which is sad.
(3) superswank, yubsie and gemmi_joo, thank you so much for the Christmas cards! You're so awesome, already having them out. MINE ARE GOING OUT MONDAY I SWEAR, I SWEARITY SWEAR.

As a holiday promotion, LJ are giving out vouchers for $10 off a paid account. The drawback is that you can't use it if your account is already paid (unless it expires before 15th January). Anybody want one?
I also have six Dreamwidth invite codes.

I really hate that I'm going to have to watch True Blood when I come back from break.
BUT CHECK THIS SHIT OUT:
Goddamn, AHC, be cooler?

Dear Today,
I love you.
You are an island in a week of papers, phonetics recordings, and exams.
You are a bright, shining day wherein I only need to go to the job I love to hang out with people I love and take care of babies I love.
You are only here for my enjoyment, as I don't need to start studying for my Italian history exam.
You mark the final week in which I will be twenty-one (deaaaaar god.)
Also, you are my last Tuesday as a winter-semester senior.
In conclusion, cher Mardi le 15, je t'aime.
♥
Madi
