Is anyone excited its XMAS on thursday? Its completely crept up on me, feels slightly festive at work but we're so busy its not really registered!
I have all my presents bought so this weekend is relax, maybe go out in town tomorrow and generally chill before the mental week, we have just 2 days to put together a paper that takes a week to do normally, then Xmas and then parents for that weekend, repeat mental work pattern for the new years issue!
If anyone is in Sheffield on saturday night and fancies a drink, Si, Mark and I are going for a few and it would be lovely if you joined us. Probably the Vine for Riddimtion or pubs in town, theres dubstep night on at the Redroom if we make it that far.
I dont have the net at home at the mo so text me if you want.
I too am working all the way upto Christmas Eve.
I must be mad cos I'm dead on my feet as it is
Frans working Christams Day aswell but means I get my presents on Christmas Eve
I'm bored with christmas now, too much work, too many christmas songs repeated too many times, and not much else. I've just done 5 shifts straight and i'm dying for a day off to break things up but i've got two more to do, it was good to have 4 nights off last weekend, but now i'm suffering. I'm not being worked to death but the repetition is getting to me now.

I watched a mainly Arabic-language film yesterday.
Lemon Tree. It's about a woman who fights to save her lemon grove when the Palestinian Defence Minister moves in next door to her and orders it (her only source of income) be cut down to protect his security.
It was a pleasantly impartial and unsentimental jaunt.
