advent
Advent should mean more to me than just being able to start playing carols, and really I think that it does, but at the moment I am enjoying listening to carols which I haven't played or sung along with for eleven months.
Heian robes would have trailed on the floor. Gyokoumen's robes would trail on the floor. Curious. I wonder what my mind wants that for.
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Okay, now I have to laugh. My mother warned me, at supper, that if I did not have some sort of idea reasonably fast about what I wanted for Christmas, she certainly did. I just now -- well, five minutes ago -- had an idea, and so informed her. (Namely, a new computer chair.) I now find out that this was the very idea which she had also had. Excellent.
I need to sit down and make lists of everyone whom I need to buy/send cards and presents to. An ideal occupation for while several large reports (which I need to do at work tomorrow) will be compiling. Assuming no catastrophes or sudden unexpected tasks, which is probably an unwise thing to do for Monday. Oh well. Let me enjoy the remainder of the weekend while I can.

Player: They're hardly divisible, sir - well, I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can't do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory - they're all blood, you see.
Guildenstern: Is that what people want?
Player: It's what we do.
