The White Elephant thing went more or less well. I regifted four DvDs from my colletion, and they got into the hands of somebody who wanted at least two of them. I got a bottle of Ketel One, a lot of good food (Mario's down on Leong), and a cute waitress, and then I sang Erasure at the top of my lungs ('loud' is the only way I'm going to hit the higher notes) as I left early.

So instead of sleeping, I'm trying to find a picture of what my daughter looks like on GarouMUSH. She's seven, has a fairly pale compleXion and long dark hair, a narrow face with dark eyes, and glasses. Anybody with ideas, shout out as my GoogleFu has produced limited results and it's hard to go somewhere and ask where you can find pictures of little girls on the Internet without... well. You understand.

Workin' in a Coal Mine

Feeling Industrious!
Keyboard problems are resolved. (Check it out: zxcvb!) This involved unplugging, unscrewing, blowing, toothpicking, tamping, and various other tactics to remove cat hair and assorted cruft. Thankfully, this worked and so I didn't have to go buy a new one.
Then I finally swapped in the flatscreen monitor that Tersa bought me forever ago.
And I cleared out the breather since I haven't seriously used it in months and it was taking valuable space in a cramped corner. (It's still cramped, but less so.)
And of course there was dusting, tidying, throwing things out and disposing of piles of stuff that had not been disturbed since the early Cretaceous period.

And this means that I have a 20" monitor and a large stuffed monitor lizard who need new homes. Please let me know if these interest you.

Also? I'm thinking of getting some ribbons and braiding them into replacements for my bootlaces. Is this at all feasible? Maybe I should braid them around an actual shoelace but I'm worried they'll be too fat and won't fit through the grommet.

Hi. Manic much?
