List post, because:
1. These are NOT New Year's Resolutions, but I'd like to do more printing and collaging this year. I enjoy both things enormously, and I'd like to improve my skills in both areas.
To this end, I have already cut two lino prints, but haven't printed them yet, because apparently my brain is in a "let's do fifty things at once!" mode. (My desk is an organised mess right now because of this, heh).
2a. I've been reading so much about junk journalling/watching videos that last night, at some point, I dreamt about saving envelopes to use for something along those lines.
(I do not need to save envelopes; I have an almost hilarious amount of them from my mother, who loved to write letters and send cards to people. That said, I have been eyeing the cardboard boxes I've been putting in the recycling, and wondering what sort of weird shaped books I could make from them).
I am not into junk journalling, except from the book binding and making collages POV. I get it in principle, but I don't think it's for me, unless I make them to sell. Which I totally could! Anyway, I have enough notebooks to use as journals already, and let's not get started on the sketchbook backlog (it is REAL).
2b. I also had the stress dream where I am Claire Redfield and Mr X is chasing me, so that's nice! [/sarcasm] Sometimes it's Jill and Nemesis, but my brain switched to Claire because reasons, I guess? I mean, I had been thinking about RE2 during the day, but only as a fleeting thought. Not enough, I would've thought, for my subconscious to pick it up.
3. Approximately half of my Xmas presents have arrived! I think they tried to deliver my gel plate yesterday while I was at work, so I've had to ask for re-delivery tomorrow. It's either that or the other book I bought.
I want to post pics, but I'm waiting till they all are here first before I do that.
4. Still playing FFXIII, when I am not put off by how loud the fan on the PS3 is. Although that may be down to the vents needing a good clean, as was pointed out to me by someone I chat to on the bus sometimes. So eventually I might remember to do that!
Anyway, everyone except for Sazh and Vanille are in Palumpolum, and for the most part playing this seems really easy? I suppose it's because I'm used to the battle system now (having technically played it to Chapter 11 at least four times), and I know which job suits which person best, so I stack their CP in there first. Although I still find it frustrating that the game assigns a person one of their worst jobs (looking at you, Medic!Lightning and Commando!Sazh) and expects you to be okay with that. But I guess it's teaching you how to use that to your advantage, maybe?
I dunno, I just can't wait till everyone gets together and has access to all six jobs.
5. I thought I had more to say, but I've been sat here, staring blankly at the screen for half an hour, so I'm guessing not!
