I had a fabulous day today, filled with working on what turned out to be the ideal work day: juuuust enough customers to keep me busy, just enough stock to give me something else to do and mix it up a little, just enough downtime to nearly finish the two-speed crossword! Charming. After that, I wandered down to Whitcoulls to spend the $100 vouchers I got from various relatives. I scored - hem, hem - the Angel Complete Series Boxset, which is OMG SO PRETTY. Normally $250, but they had a 25% discount I bargained down to 30% because the only one they had left was the display set and it was a little battered, and I had $10 vouchers left over from last year, and I ended up paying like $65 in actual spendable money and!!!! OMG SO PRETTY SO SHINY SO OMG.

Then we went and saw ( The Golden Compass )

Hey, any of you who did reviews, drop me a link? It just came out here on Boxing Day and I tried to remember whose cut-tags I scrolled past but, well, I can't.

What else? Yuletide! I really want to do a comprehensive set of YW recs, but basically it would come down to: they're ALL amazing this year, and if you're familiar with the fandom, run and read them right now. (Sarah, IIRC, none of them are very spoilery for W@W, but you may want to avoid the one about a day in the life of Dairine.)

ETA: oh! Do you know what the difficult thing about Bones is? their names! Are so ridiculous! Every time I read "Seeley", I want to laugh! Temperance even worse! And Tempe is just awful for me, no idea why. *sigh*
