The obligatory New Year update
Between dealing with a rush of new stuff at work and a bunch of holiday visiting, I have done very little LiveJournaling so far in 2005. It's too late and I'm too tired to do any deep, meaningful essays tonight, so here's a few personal life developments from the last few weeks, given at random:
I alluded, in a previous LiveJournal entry, to having gotten a raise: $5,000 (before taxes) raise and a $5,000 (also before taxes) Christmas bonus. This was in addition to the piece of luggage that is the firm's "official" gift to us almost every year.
Eric and I got a copy of the DVD set with all five of the Babylon5 movies on it.
Eric thoughtfully bought me a digital camera so that I can take photos and post them on the costume-related web site I help moderate, among other places. Unfortunately, the only machine in the house that will accept downloads from my camera on a routine basis is (of course) Eric's laptop. Eric's current theory of why this is the case is that our desktop boxes all have the wrong type of USB connector.
I am in the process of having a crown put on one of my back molars. I have a temporary crown in place; I get to go back to the dentist at the end of January for the installation of the real one. Miraculously, the process didn't hurt, but it did require having my mouth drained of all fluid and three hands (my dentist's two, and one of his assistant's hands) in my mouth for nearly two hours.
We just bought, on impulse, Vol. 2 of the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes Golden Collection this weekend, and started to watch it. This is the one with "What's Opera, Doc?" on it, for those who love that one as much as Eric does.
The weather here in Malvern has been insanely warm and rainy for early January. If we're lucky, it will stay that way until spring.

Re: see if it works
I'm not expecting to make it to Worldcon this time, Scratch. I've got too many other trips I want to make, and I don't want to charge a foreign Worldcon to my credit cards, which I've just paid off after a long slog.

Re: see if it works
If redheads are fun in Glasgow, they're fun in Lancaster, Malvern, and the Valley Forge Sheraton too; I'm sure we can find someplace you can do a photo shoot of me this year, whether we make Worldcon or not.
