Happy Squidmas!
by Pete Hindle
It’s that special time of year again, where no matter if you’re a follower of Tarvu or you have been touched by his noodly appendage, you suddenly find yourself needing to do a bunch of stuff involving buying cards and going to parties.
This is a time of year where it is just hard to get things done. It’s dark and cold, and the excitement of a new year is just around the corner. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been finding it difficult to apply my butt to the seat and get down to work recently! Whatever the reason for my procrastination, it has meant that this is the first year I’ve been on top of my christmas card list. Huzzah!
The other thing about this time of year is that you have to go out to parties and meet people. You might think that you can stay in and get more work done, but you’ll probably end up eating cake in front of the TV and feeling miserable. I’m probably speaking from personal experience here, but I know I’m not alone in dragging myself out only to have an unexpectedly nice time.
1st of all: I [heart] squids! & 2ndly, yesh, I have found that most often, when I really don’t feel like going out, but then do, I as you said, have an unexpectedly marvelous time…(or at least a better time than I would have sitting at home eating crackers, as I don’t keep cake in my apt)
Oh man, sitting at home eating crackers – that sounds positively puritan! You should definitely get yourself out to the party. By the way, I love your “what I wore today” pictures. I think I might borrow that idea and show just how slovenly I am!
ooh just saw this reply–merci! I’m glad you like them and, I must admit, I only started dressing BETTER when I had to start drawing what I wore (I realized that jeans every day, kind of gets old :)
