Braved St. Vital Centre yet again today, an experience roughly equivalent to body-surfing in a mosh pit at a Christmas Classics concert. I did manage to find a few last gifts (including George's). I also had passing contact with more humanity than I cared to in so short a period of time.
Came home, exercised, and in a fit of post-shopping-stress weakness ordered Chinese food. Mmmmm, greasy chicken chow mein from the Oriental Bowl, which has humungous portions and reasonably good quality. Apparently my holiday bout of "diabetes? what diabetes?" eating has started a couple of days early. I can't remember which comedian it was who said "Rice is great if you're hungry and want 2000 of something", but boy, is it ever true.
A note to the people to whom I'm mailing presents: I haven't mailed yet. I'll do so sometime between Christmas and New Years. Too much work and too little energy.
Tomorrow I have to... do some stuff. I'm too tired to think exactly what it is right now, but I'm sure I'll remember in the morning. Laundry is in there somewhere. So is picking up a card for my mother. So is working on my latest comic project, which has to be finished sometime around December 27th or 28th. No rest, wicked, and so on and so forth.
Right now my eyes keep sliding over to the Hickory Farms gift box on the main studio table. I want to try their Beef Sticks so much.
