Awww, y'all are so damn cute with your semi-annual I'm moving to Insane Journal! freakouts. Don't worry, Frank the Gulag Archipelagoat will one day justify all your fears and eat your offspring.

So, what's the deal with the tone of the Doctor Who posts? Did the Doctor regenerate or something? Will those of us who can't fucking stand Tennant in the role finally be able to watch again? (No, I'm actually not trying to bring down the spirits of anyone who is a fan, but some of us...aren't.)

Well, cards are sent, prezzies are forthcoming, all is well in the world. If anyone would like a copy of my brother's book, I'd be happy to send one along to you - they make great gifts for history buffs! He's been invited to speak at many events in the advent of 2009. Y'all should get in on this deal.

But the award for awesomeness for the day goes to...

zia_narratora! Your hat is absolutely charming, and I'm gonna take a pic so you can see how damn cute it is. Plus, it is warm, which is a Big Deal. I can't thank you enough, sweetie.

P.S. ninepointfivemm, I am still mentally grumbling about your post. Come on, who is with me that Tom Bombadil is an absolutely crucial character in LotR? I mean, he is there to basically answer the question "Well, why not just bury the ring or give it to someone who doesn't give a flying fuck?"

Yeah, I'll go ahead and take that with the implication that the actual hero of the books is not Harry fucking Potter, thanks.

...than listen to streaming Christmas music at 9:00 A.M., please resolve this argument. I surely cannot be the only one who thinks those "Winter Wonderland" sops sound as though they are being very, very pervy indeed with ol' Parson Brown, can I? I mean, I know they are allegedly having dumbassed gleeful fun and talking marriage, but it sounds as though they are talking three-way to me.

But, really, ...

What is the most annoying Christmas song?

Please Kill It.

I just talked to txvoodoo, and what she really wants for Christmas is atrocious James Marsters photo manips, nudity preferred.

If anyone would like a card, please go down a few posts and leave your address, okay? No, it doesn't matter if you plan to send out holiday cards yourself. There are some of you who didn't ask, but are getting one anyway (e.g. Lisa, Cathy) and some of you I'd love to send one to, but for whom I have no address (e.g. Miz, Ronnie) and some I wouldn't send a card to if you paid me (e.g. Squarah Palin, Keanu Reeves.) Eh, just go back there and post if you're interested.

I showed these to eschatologies, so I figured I'd post 'em too. Yes, I know I still have responses to make to my last post's comments. What? I'm tired these days. Bone weary.

This is me new kitten. Is it me or is everyone obtaining new kittens? Anyway, I love her to pieces.

Hi guys.

Well, first I lost internet access for quite a while. Then I ended up in the hospital due to a severe infection that launched itself into my bloodstream and, I am told, almost killed me. My memories are kinda sketchy when it comes to a lot of things, I have to warn you.

I hope there are some of you still out there, anyway!
