from the void

Santa Claus is coming!

December 17th, 2006

My darling dearest uncle has been putting me to shame by updating his blog very regularly now. It’s nice to see though, and it’s good inspiration for me. What would also be good inspiration for me is … comments. So please feel free to leave your digital footprint!
The last two weeks have been absolute madness due to some big projects for work. I have pretty much spent every waking hour working, including weekends, and my life was literally put on hold. As a result I’ve been spending yesterday and today trying to catch up on all the Christmas organising. Well, mainly the gift shopping. The next two days will be spent taking care of administrative and official type stuff so that the new year can be started with a clean slate.
One blog that I read regular is that of Moby… yes, THE Moby. Sometimes he goes on a little too much about political subjects for my liking, but I persevere all the same because I like the way he relates to the world. Anyhow, one thing Moby is fond of is lists. So perhaps for today’s post I too will try a list:

a - I’m not posting a photo tonight. I was going to, but I changed my mind… sorry!

b - Speaking of photos, I went back through some of my archives a little while back and I have some major cleaning up to do now that it’s been stripped bare of all the images thanks to the server meltdown

c - Also on the subject of photos, Remi has been doing a lot of portrait shots of people lately and some of them are really beautiful. Let’s hope he gets an album online soon so that I can show you

d - Feeling really creative lately and finding lots of inspiration. Which brings me to a great quote I read tonight on another blog I check out from time to time:

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing.
Action always generates inspiration.
Inspiration seldom generates action.
Frank Tibolt

e - If like me you are feeling creative, a great blog to check out is whipup. It’s a highway to craft heaven!

f - If you are feeling creative and are having kids over for Christmas, kids that will need entertaining, then Kiddley is the place to visit for some great ideas. Makes me wish I had kids around! The last time I did something creative with a kid was in March-April when I did some origami with Annie and Rani. It was awesome. Craft with kids is highly recommended.

g - Tonight I followed the one-minute rule you can find here. That blog is one of the latest additions to my little favourites list… lots of things to develop awareness about our own behavioural patterns, tips and quotes. Worth a little visit from time to time. And the one-minute rule works great if you can remember to apply it.

h - I had a few other things to say, but I’ve forgotten them :/

i - I’m going to open a serious can of whoop-ass on blogger if it doesn’t stop misbehaving. What’s the point of changing stuff that isn’t broken, just so the newer version is full of bugs. And they changed my damn template!

So that’s about it for my list tonight. The Christmas cards are done and sent. The Christmas shopping is almost done and was near painless… so bring on the fat man and all that food!
