walbournWell, frankly it rains too much around here in the winter to look anything like "Christmas" in a traditional sense, but we've started decorating this weekend--actually I got all the stuff down out of the attic last weekend and set up the tree, but with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlyeconomist finishing up the quarter she's been a bit busy. With my parent's and Margo's mom coming for Christmas this season, we've been getting inundated with Amazon packages. They are addressed to us, but we aren't supposed to open them. The attic is looking like a UPS shipping center. Lots of wrapping ahead of us once we finish the decoration. At least we got a head start on the cookie making...
Work's been productive, although a bit stressful as we've been dealing with a months-long division-wide reorganization that has yet to really get to anything actionable in my part of the org chart. Still, lots to work on.
We've been watching a lot of movies and random things off streaming Netflix stuff lately, and it's been a bit of a nostalgic process. We watched all three extended versions of Lord of the Rings, various MST3Ks, and today we watched Krull. I was sad to see that Tron was not available on instant, but with the new moving coming out I guess they don't want to have everyone streaming it and sucking up their bandwidth--actually I think I recall that they are just now getting a deal to be able to stream Disney stuff.
Speaking of nostalgia, Sarah McLachlan is playing The Paramount Theatre in February. The last time I saw her was at the Key Arena back in 2004, and the acoustics sucked--as do most music concerts in arenas. The Paramount should be a lot nicer place to see her.
