tamaranth1. Am back from holiday! It was lovely, and instructional1.
2. Thoroughly unimpressed with recent LJ changes -- more specifically, LJ's attitude towards those who've objected to the changes or the way that they were announced2.
3. Hence, entire journal now mirrored on Dreamwidth (tamaranth), and I shall be posting from there with automatic crosspost to LJ. Still working on subscriptions / accesses, but I'd like to be prepared for the sudden or gradual demise of LJ.
4. Much to do before, er, 2012. But have already done some of it: a run, some laundry, some cat-cuddling, Doctor Who viewing3.
5. Aaargh, have not created an account for the cat!
6. Probably not as high-priority as writing up recent reading (Reamde4, Sasharia: Once A Princess, The Hypnotist) or catching up on email or acquiring fresh catnip for my feline overlord.
1. Have learnt not to book non-self-catering in the off season; not to reverse down twisty mountain roads without a spotter / rock-clearer; not to expect hot and cold running felines outside tourist resorts.
2. In Russian, on a developer's personal LJ, with blithe (and impolite) disregard for user protests.
3. Not quite as sentimental as expected, though could've done without the last ten minutes. Also, lost count of esteemed authors turning in their graves: Clarke, Adams, Lewis, Tolkien, Bradbury ....
4. On a micro level, immensely enjoyable and a compelling read; on a macro level, when will author learn how to do endings, or for that matter female characters?
