Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season. May the next year be an improvement on the last, and may all your disasters be minor ones.
::Cue William Tell But Not Really::
Today, I am driving to the other side of the world Brisbane to fetch MeMum so we can have her over for Christmas day.
This comes on the heels of a disturbed night because this years' seemingly traditional Yule Disaster(tm) has happened to Capt. S.
The family is taking steps, because this one looks like a gold class clusterfuck that could have only been solved as it happened, and nobody got the memo as it was happening. I'm under orders to

Wake up at 1AM because nanna nap earlier in the day. I also had sulphurous burps for reasons I couldn't fathom.
Gave up on sleep because busy day ahead and I could always nap in the car on the way there.
Settle down to the compy to start writing and begin feeling really sick. Sulphurous burps continue, hot feeling rises, as does nausea.
Adjourn to the loo to realise, once again, that two Kirks' brand Diet Creamy Sodas is one too many.

I have nine episodes of Oh My Mods ready to rock and roll. Hooray.
I have two weeks coming up in which I will be busy off my arse with everything and a bucket of eggs.
We have ducted air con! YAYA! ...and getting used to that has given me a case of da sniffoos.
I'm currently uploading my episodes to the YouTube and I have them all on schedule. The first one will be appearing on the Thursday following Christmas. Watch

Today's the last day of this year for hired cleaning help. Which means that, once again, I have to badger my family into cleaning up after themselves.
I also have to have $95 cash, but that's small potatoes.
Beloved has to see a Gold-plated Expert about their eyes at early-during-business-hours. I have no idea how long that's going to take, or even if my presence is required, but I do know that my day is pretty much screwed.
Today promises to be

I have wanted to do some Lets Play videos for some time now. Alas, we have lacked the internet, the wherewithall and the time.
However, the wherewithall has arrived in the form of my Spiffy New PC, the internet has arrived in the Shittiest Possible NBN, and the time has always been there between Fuckoff in the morning and whenever the little darlings wake up.
When they go back to school, the recording schedule is more likely to happen in the middle

Today is the 17th in the US. Today is the day that everything allegedly NSFW is going to be purged from the databases. Today, everyone who cares about the freedom to be nerdy weirdoes and help each other with things that other sites dare not talk about... those people will not be there.
I already have plans to fill my day. Starting with recording myself futzing around with Mods on Minecraft. When my little darlings wake up, that will be the end

I just can't focus.
Beloved was up at buttfuck AM this morning for server wrangling things, I have no doubt. I managed to dream about cuckoo clocks before Beloved's alarm went off - sounding like a cuckoo clock.
I don't know what's up with that, but thirty seconds of precognition whilst simultaneously unconscious sounds like the worst superpower ever. Fight me.
I did see Into the Spiderverse as well as Bumblebee and my impressions on how to do a Beloved Cartoon Franchise

I have one thing left on my to-be-sourced list: wardrobe.
I like to look nice on Yule, and all the nice clothes are never built to last. Plus I'm one of those gremlins who wear nice things until they die.
One day, I'll be rich enough to afford clothes that look nice and last. Maybe even hand-crafted to fit... imagine.
I can dream.
Realtalk, it's something to aim for that I will probably never grasp. It's something you need to have millionaire

Absolutely nobody who has a physical space shop stocks the Fudge colours. Fortunately, I can order the hues I need from Look Fantastic. UN-fortunately, I need someone to help me do my hair which means begging, whimpering and pleading in the general direction of Beloved.
My kids aren't old enough to colour me in. Alas.
I have a lot of Nothing planned for myself, so I'd better get on with my work.
Enjoy the nothing while it lasts, my friends.

Chaos is having her last day before extended sessions of sloth and inactivity.
Today is also the day that we SHOULD be receiving that dishwasher that was due a firkin week and a half ago.
There COULD also be air conditioning beginning to come in. I pretty much have to be home at all times. Which makes the planning a little... tricky.
I'm going to have to compile a list and itinerary because fetching MeMum on Yule Eve. I'm compiling a google

So... the quest to get my hair recoloured didn't turn out great. I was used to the warnings that came with Fudge, which stuck around for ages. I didn't expect stains to act exactly as they said on the tin.
Whoops.
The good news is that there are (allegedly) three sources of Fudge hair dye that are relatively nearby. So post-unfuckening, I will be off to two of those because...
(drumroll)
I know for a fact that one of those sources is

The nice people with our dishwasher need me to call them. They sent me a message whilst other things were happening and the tiny ping of an incoming text was completely lost in the shuffle.
I have a hair appointment because the dye in my lurid hair has faded to the realms of euw. Apparently, you need to keep re-doing the new ones which are stains and not dyes. IDK from jack about hair dyes.
What happened to Fudge? Those colours were

I got derailed by doing two Years-in-Review over at Tumblr. First, showing all the highlights I'd found and reblogged, then showing off all the things I'm proud of.
Who knows? I might inspire other people to call out their faves this way. You gotta spread the love.
In other news, today's Instant may well be the weirdest one I've written to date. Buddy Cop/Soldier piece involving personified white blood cells. It was fun. After I went on a wiki walk to

Miss Chaos is in the last week of her education, so I can accurately predict a whole bunch of late stories in the future because slobbing around and doing nothing is my jam.
I will endeavour to get all my shit done before sunset. No guarantees.
Asterisk: Reminder that sunset in Sunny Queensland happens at around six to seven PM because Summer.
Today's a cleaning day, and I have to do a cash run, but beyond that, there are no plans. Not
