Good and bad.

Good: The Brisbane photos from d_fuses and chaosandtwocats have arrived, by way of Sydney and Glasgow, and I actually look okay in a couple of them!

Bad: This made me nostalgic. (Bit of a weak "bad" there. Which is a good!)

Good: It did put me in mind of who's around for the holidays.

Bad: I was gazumped on two Christmas presents on eBay while I was out running Serenity and The Watch House, and while I can get more of each there they'll probably be more expensive and definitely be later.

Good: Christmas shopping other than that sorted.

Bad: Except for something I sent off for that will have reached "allow four weeks for delivery" as of tomorrow, and the seller didn't actually say to do that...

Good: The next TWH will be more straightforward to run than the last couple, and the ship in Serenity now has a name.

Bad: Probably no Natalie in TWH till the New Year, unless I manage to mug the group for a pre-break session.

Serenity, as summarised by drawings of puppets of the cast

Why? Ruttin' hell if I know. But it's funny, as well as spoilery for you poor gits who haven't seen it.

"Hey guys, come quick! The Mal and Inara Show is on!"

Meanwhile in another part of the 'verse, Buffy is the subject of what is apparently the BFI's third ever "TV Classics" book. Which is nice. And no, I'm not mentioning this in the runup to Christmas at all. Or the new Buffy RPG revised corebook. Or the Serenity soundtrack. Uh-uh, no way...
