First, note the new icon! Courtesy of the pretty over at slodicons, natch.

I got to go out and see carmarthen today, which was lovely; it had been much too long. We saw Peter Pan, which I think we both muchly enjoyed, spent too much money at Powell's, and hung out at liviapenn's apartment for a little bit, where I showed her unconnected random bits of Due South to try and show her why Callum Keith Rennie is my lust object. She thinks Diefenbaker is pretty.

My sister and I finished watching the Fellowship of the Ring cast commentary last night (I'd never seen it before). By the end, I was left with two main impressions, which were

a) hobbbbbits! eee! *vague gesture*
and
b) oh my god, just SHUT UP, Orlando Bloom, shut up! Tool.

Anyway. More yuletide stories I have been enjoying ( can be found here )
