☆ Yesterday my car battery died again while I was at the library. Dad came down to give it enough of a boost that I could get home, and we decided that Enough Was Enough; whatever's wrong with it, it's a dud.
Fortunately, I had saved the receipt from when we bought/changed the battery last winter, and it was still within warranty (thanks again for the suggestion that I take a look at that,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kanadka. You saved me a hundred bucks.) So we were able to get a new one without problem. Hopefully it'll all be fine now. I'm really sick of this thing crapping out on me on the coldest days of the year. ;V
☆ Because of the cold and aforementioned car issue, I've pretty much stayed inside all day. Knitting, and watching the Royal Ballet version of Swan Lake, and drinking too much hot chocolate. ;) Well, maybe it's not so bad.
☆ Speaking of Swan Lake, having now seen both the Happy Ending version (Moscow Ballet, live), and the Tragic Ending version (Royal Ballet, on disc) I must say I prefer the happy ending. Call me a sap, I guess. Though I must say the Royal Ballet's version was really well done.
(But any Swan Lake is good Swan Lake, I say - then again, it's my favourite of the ballets I've seen.)
On the topic of of various versions, consider: F/F version of Swan Lake. I wish that existed. ...I'm pretty sure it has never been done as an actual ballet, but maybe there's some sort of manga of this out there? It seems like the kind of thing that would exist as a manga. I should take a look when I'm more awake. I know that an M/M version of the ballet exists, Matthew Bourne's version of it, but I don't like the costuming in that one. ...Anyway.

fandomtrumpshate start tomorrow. I CAN HARDLY WAIT (yes, this requires capslock. :D )
☆ Managed to finish the draft for my Chocolate Box fic yesterday. Very happy about that. Unsure if I will have time for treats this year, but I'm going to try. Or maybe I'll just write two stories for my recip, who has very good taste.
(Well, of course they do, they're requesting things I offered. ;p ;p ;p)
☆ In for more cold weather this week. Oh dear....
