Christmas Gloat Post
Jan. 2nd, 2008 04:59 pmFor Christmas I got...
An ipod! And it is pretty and gorgeous and plays video and the first things I loaded onto it were the transformation sequences from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon for I am a sad, sad person. And my sister (who also got an ipod) has figured out how to download videos from youtube! *various squeeful flailing*
Um, other swag (for there was other swag) included books! And books! I said to Mum before Christmas that if anyone burglared our tree, they'd be pretty disapointed. Books don't have much resale value. (Of course I didn't know about the ipods at that point. But I suspect they were kept Elsewhere.)
Let's see, I got a puzzle. And At World's End, with pretty post card pictures included! And a make-your-own skeleton dodo, which I have dubbed Pickwick.
And books of special mention. I got. I can't believe I got this. My wonderful, genius mother managed to track down for me Eight Skilled Gentlemen by Barry Hugart! I dropped it in my excitement when I unwrapped it. Just. Master Li. Number Ten Ox. Looked for it for years. *flails*
Virtual pressies!
[Unknown site tag] wrote me the wonderful New Leaves for Yuletide! An absolutly wonderful, beautiful note-perfect coda to The Hallowed Hunt by Lois McMaster Bujold with a lovely blend of humour, hope, and past darkness.

My as yet unnamed Saiunkoku Secret Santa has written me a lovely, gentle moment, a slice of life fic set before the start of the series, in which Seiran savours the familiar domestic rituals, even the noisy ones and the ones that involve extremely bitter tea.

For Yuletide I wrote Marginalia, a Mushishi fic. I've never wrote anything resembling a detective story before, so it was an interesting challenge! I'm not sure I achieved everything I wished to in it, but I'm quite pleased with the attempt nonetheless. :) Archived at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

And now I must sign off to attempt to write a bit more essay. For we are going out to the Panto tonight! To see Aladdin. Starring John Barrowman. *does the: "I'm going to be in the presence of the pretty* dance.*
That will make two members of the Torchwood cast I've seen on stage! Jack, and Toshiko in the West End production of Avenue Q. Now if Ianto would just get into musicals...
