Just a little bit of snake oil, tinfoil...
Jan. 8th, 2007 10:37 amFirst of all, happy belated holidays to everyone.
The holiday season was extremely busy for me; not only that but one of my favourite people in the whole world was ill and I was worried a lot :-(
My mum was all, I have something to tell you but I want to do it in person and I was all, oh dear. It turned out that my aunt had breast cancer, and was going to need surgery and stuff. Luckily that all seems to be on track and hopefully after this is all over she'll see the back of it. I love her very, very much and she's been so brave about everything. Unfortunately I was bogged down in the first draft of my honours dissertation and couldn't go down until a couple of days before xmas.
Christmas day was rocking, if I do say so myself. I got tons of cool Superman stuff; the Christopher Reeve box set with the Donner Cut of Superman 2 in it, new pyjamas, season 3 of CSI Miami and loads of other cool things. I also got some fab books: Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things, Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, the two new Niomi Novik books and I bought more Pratchett and Clarke myself. I love getting pretty hardbacks at Christmas- The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories by Susanna Clark has the most gorgeous cover.
Anyway, more from me laters.
