Before I forget...

I got the letter from the SSA telling me what my monthly check will be next month. The cost of living adjustment this year is hefty. $50 more a month! That will make my life easier.

A song, and that year-end meme

Black Happy Day's version of "The Lyke Wake Dirge". I thought tere was something vaguely Japanese sounding about it so I asked [info]rehd_fawx and [info]hcolleen. The consensus is that there's something odd about the way they tuned the banjo and dulcimer. Any of you musically inclined sorts want to weigh in? Anyway, I think this album (IN THE GARDEN OF THE GHOSTFLOWERS) was a good find. I got it as an Amazon download but CDBaby has it too (as a download and as a physical download too).

Anyway... that first sentence of every month's posts meme everyone is doing. Friendslocked posts have been excluded. So have memes.

January - Happy New Year!

February - Went to the post office, mailed a bunch of books out.

March - Something that sucks: Having scraped the roof of my mouth, being hungry, and not having much more than toast to eat.

April - Biscuits and gravy (with sausage!) have been had.

May - Stephen Merritt is doing a Coraline musical.

June - So, I stumbled to the mailbox groggy and in kind of a funk.

July - This is why I should not drink 10 cups of tea and mix Adagio blends at two AM.

August - So I recently read Goth Craft by Raven Digitalis.

September - Debating changing my mood theme on my LJ and/or IJ from the Cyclona theme I have now to a Mononoke theme.

October - Birthday goodies time, that is.

November - Just checked my inbox... CnS for my BPAL Yule order, yay!

December - HolyClothing had an extremely limited sale of 100 items that were going for $9.99 each.


Hunh. Altogether less emo and more shopping-oriented than I'd have thought.

[info]hcolleen made me a desktop wallpaper for when I get my Eee. It uses art by Takato Yamamoto and is along the lines of the gorgeous LJ layout she made me.

( Don't you wanna see? )

Also, didn't Lucky magazine used to be about actual affordable clothes once in a while? I got a free subscription from an Amazon promotion a few months back and all the stuff is way overpriced ($140 for a tanktop???) and half of it belongs on [info]ugly_crap.
