There's a playlist called "christmas2005" in the folder that doesn't correspond exactly to the list of songs uploaded, but is (I realised this year) probably one of the better CDs I've put together in my mixtape career. The folder also contains a Yo La Tengo Christmas single and a Lisa Ono Christmas album [1]![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In other news, I spent the entire day yesterday playing videogames - logged 7.5 hours in FFXII, not counting the couple of times I got killed hunting marks, or the several hours dicking around with Katamari Damacy beforehand (the FFXII camera controls are excellent, but make for uhh avant-garde cinematography when one's trained oneself to move forward by pushing with both thumbs >_>). No spoilers - I'm not advanced enough for spoilers - but basically it's like Vagrant Story with sunlight. Or as sororial unit says, Star Wars grafted onto Rome-the-TV-series. I thought I'd have difficulty with the lack of battle transitions but instead I have difficulty with the fact that X opens the menu and does not simply bonk the nearest monster on the head. It is more immediate, I think, or at least I noticed I was getting the shakes a lot, and I haven't been in anything resembling a boss fight yet. XD Then again I have a very low tolerance for violent participactory excitement, as you can deduce from the fact that I get adrenalin shakes from playing Final Fantasy. Anything scarier than a turn-based RPG leaves me shaking too hard to open the brandy bottle. I don't know that it's wussiness so much as an apparent inability to divorce myself from the proceedings on the screen - if I were attacked by a giant wolf out in the desert it would be pretty scary, even if I had a sword and knew how to use it.
angrybabble just posted Christmas music as well. :D
