On the first day of 2008, I:

 

-Slept in past noon
-Made tiny bagels out of Sculpey

-Changed nine dolls into pajamas*

-Looked up the Society for Creative Anachronism, as I have been invited to join it by a friend I saw for the first time in probably seven years

-Started reading Brown Girl in the Ring, which I have owned for years but which has also been lost for most of that time

-Typed up more of the half-written Doctors! story from my notebook

-Wrote a bullet-point blog entry

-Resolved to kick 妹 off the Wii in order to play more Super Mario Galaxy**
-Had Earl Grey Tea
-Set no goals whatsoever for next year beyond finishing that previously mentioned Doctors! story

 

You know how they say you should start out the way you want to continue?  I think I’m doing pretty good.

 

 

*And realized that the small dolls have no pajamas, so I improvised with large T-shirts.  Dammit why can I find no patterns or ready-made clothes for 14” vinyl dolls?

 

**Last night went like this:

Amelia: My only complaint with this game so far is that Nintendo does not know a galaxy from a solar system.  Oh, happy new year, I guess.

妹: (glances at the clock) We’ve still got about ten minutes.

Amelia: Hmph. *plays some more*

Ten minutes later

The Dude: How’s it going?

Amelia: I’m on this level where I have to fling Mario from asteroid to asteroid, but I keep whiffing it and sending him plummeting into the black hole.  At this moment I feel I must point out that Mario is missing!

Siblings: BOOOO old game pun.

Amelia: What’s with all the screaming outside?

妹: I imagine it has to do with the new year.

Amelia: Oh. *goes back to playing*

You can has moar as soon as I write it. It's only half-done--it turns out that being in Kenya is a little distracting, but I did my best!

I'll give you a sneak preview: Dreedo is going to be faced with a potential epidemic from people who inexplicably won't take their medicine and would only take it from HIM SPECIFICALLY if they did, and Ghil gets hounded by adorable elfy fruit people! Poor Ghil ... I abuse him so, but at least he has his relaxing hobbies. You get to learn a bit about those, too.

*writes faster*
