Random notes

I've become slightly more savvy with the whole blogging thing and have updated my blog to include links to photo albums (some are recently updated, recently as in a few minutes) and other blogs. I only have a link to one other blog right now because I don't want to link without permission. ("Burndive" has my blog linked on his, so I'm taking that as implied consent to link his.)

A note on the quizzes: I posted 3 of them today, which I will try not to do in the future, although I do have more that I took and have the HTML code for all saved in a special location for future posts. Just for kicks, if you know me fairly well, let me know what you think of the results. ;)

I'm heading back to CA for 23 days in 35 days. I look forward to spending 3 weeks with my dog, family and friends. I don't want to think about the things I'm supposed to be doing between now and then. Or what the weather is going to be like when I return in January.

I started my Christmas shopping already, in a purely non-procrastinating fashion (I flatter myself). I am hoping to get it mostly done by the time I get home. I love the internet. I shop here and have it delivered to my parents' house so I don't have to pack all that stuff in my luggage. I can then use the wrapping paper I bought last year and left with the stuff my mom bought (considering how much I love gift wrapping materials, it's an absolute wonder that I haven't purchased any since being here in NY).

The new Harry Potter movie is being released nationally this week, but I am afraid that I probably won't get to see it until I go home for Christmas. That's a bummer, but I'll survive.
