Insouciance

Last Saturday was a stutter step. Today, I gave my Christmas gift-buying a proper go and, apart from a pair of stocking stuffers I'll easily pick up tomorrow, it's "gripped, sorted, let's off-road". Sure, there's a bit of delivering/mailing still to be done, but the worrying about what to buy and where to buy it is over.

The idiot box's pixel palette temporarily restabilised, so I chucked on the surprisingly meaningful animated spin-off "Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs" (2008) and its good mix of extras, then Japanese period fantasy "Mushishi: The Movie" (2006). The latter was strangeness only a David Lynch fan could love.
