I've had a good but weird morning so far. Grandad woke up in a much better mood, so that immediately put me emotionally in a much better place. I then threw my John Barrowman album all the way across my bedroom. No, I wasn't in a strop. It was a rather spectacular accident. I was just putting the empty case down on top of all the other CDs I've got piled up next to my clapped-out stereo, and my mind wandered far away; the next thing I knew I was doing the one-object-juggle and the CD was flying across the room. Whoops! A few minutes later I squirted my Simplicity face cream all over my duvet. But things didn't stop there, oh no. Next, while squidging more gloopy stuff into the palm of my hand, I managed to knock over EVERYTHING on my vanity shelf, and after I picked it all up one-handed, I rubbed my palms together and applied my Charles Worthington Non-Frizz Curl Activator -- to my face. I'm expecting my cheeks to spiral and kink any moment now.

Next, the dog chased the cat and I ran screaming after the dog. I feel like I've stepped into a cartoon.

In better news, [livejournal.com profile] literati made me Devil May Cry 4 icons. Hot-t-t-t-t-t-t-t! Thank you, honey bee!

Got my copy of Assassin's Creed this morning. £8.99. Bargain. I'm very much looking forward to some good old-fashioned killing and slaughter.

I shall leave you with that thought. I'm off to [livejournal.com profile] big_ball's place in about an hour for my third Christmas. L will be joining us later and my tummy is rumbling in anticipation of BB's annual buffet.

Hope you're all having a great day.

EDIT: I notice some of my LJ images are missing. Mood theme, banner, a few icons. I hope it isn't just me.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. It's very quiet here. Grandad has been asleep for much of the day, which leaves me to my own devices. That would actually be quite nice, but unfortunately he stirs every time I so much as twitch towards the remote control. Despite this, I did manage to get in a couple of hours of gaming on my PS3 and I would like to announce my brand new crush.

From Devil May Cry 4. OMG, it's an awesome game and I don't totally suck at it, which is unusual for me with a game that involves running, jumping and fighting. I have a feeling Nero is going to be my new Cloud.

Got lots of prezzies. Feel a bit spoiled, actually. Merlin soundtrack, Harry Connick Jr. CD, Le Morte d'Arthur and the first Blood Ties novel from my darling [livejournal.com profile] amejisuto. The new Martin Clunes book and Jason Donovan album from my gorgeous [livejournal.com profile] kitty_poker1. EEEEEEEEEE, thank you, guys!. Molton Brown goodies and a funny book of typos from R. And from Grandad, PS3 games, DW audio book, DW S4, House S3, Smallville S6 and Primeval S1&2.

The highlight of the day was the dinner, which came out perfectly and even earned me a pat on the shoulder and a 'You done good, girl,' from Grandad. High praise indeed.

Second highlight was the DW Christmas Special. Yes, it was brilliant. Loved it. Major spoilers under the cut (and please scroll down because some people track and the cuts don't show up).

The Next Doctor )

On a totally seperate note, I'm watching Wallace and Gromit and I'm stunned that I didn't realise before how much Gromit reminds me of Ianto.

Merry Christmas to you all for tomorrow. May you all have much fun and food and prezzies, and for those of you who are able to watch it, do enjoy the Doctor Who Christmas Special.

Here is a festive rec for you, from the DC Comics fandom. The Visitor: A Christmas Ficlet by [livejournal.com profile] freddylloyd It's a Christmas Dick and Tim (Nightwing and Robin) genfic. And it rhymes. Seriously. I admire anyone that can master any kind of poetry, and this is sheer genius. It's totally brilliant, sweet and funny, and really put a massive smile on my face. It's only 656 words so do give it a go and get some Christmas cheer.

I went to Slough on Saturday to have Christmas with my mum, sisters, brother, neices and nephew plus others. Had a lovely day and came back with arm-fulls or prezzies including perfume, a big wicker basket filled with toiletries, jewellery, Torchwood Calender, and the most beautiful fairy ornament from my mum. All the kids seemed to like the prezzies I bought them and it was lovely to watch them open and play with them.

The best part of the day was actually the car journey home. Me, my mum and my 5-year-old niece were crammed into the back seat and little S insisted on playing eye-spy, hide the pony, and the Christmas tree game all the way home. We were certainly glad to hide the clippety-clopping, madly neighing pony and what a shame that Mum and I hid it and then somehow accidentally forgot where we put it. Such a shame. Anyway, we had a great time and laughed until we cried most of the way home. I won the Christmas tree game.

When I got back, I discovered that my PS3 had been delivered and Grandad (not wanting to subject me to any sort of cruelty) had unpacked it so I could have it before Christmas. Very generous. Nothing at all to do with his keenness to see it in action, lol. Anyway, it's brilliant and I'm totally addicted to Little Big Planet. At least I would be if I actually got to play it. Had a migraine all day Sunday and worked late today, plus have been shopping, wrapping more presents, cooking, and nattering on the phone. It's a hard life :oD

Holy Cow!

I told you I needed that slave child. Just finished wrapping some Christmas presents. Two and a half hours! And that was just for the prezzies I'm taking to my mum's on Saturday. Seven adults, 4 kids, 1 baby. Eeek, I'm sure there weren't so many people last time I looked.

I'm also in shock over my Christmas presents from Grandad. I had a feeling it was coming. You know when you can just sense something in the air? Well, about an hour ago Grandad thrust a wad of notes at me and insisted I order myself a Playstation 3. I honestly hadn't even mentioned wanting one, but Grandad being Grandad, perceptive, sneaky and slightly senile, just knew. I'm not sure I deserve such a wonderful gift, but when I tried to decline he got the hump, lol. Holy frak, I'm getting a Playstation 3!!!

Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] laazikaat for the most beautiful get-well e-card ever. Wow, it was gorgeous! You're such a star.

And thank you also to [livejournal.com profile] lelaina_c, [livejournal.com profile] shapinglight (I think, because I know two people with the same first name, so eeek, haha), and [livejournal.com profile] amejisuto for my lovely Christmas cards.

I can't believe Christmas is next week. I'm quaking at the thought of all those presents I still haven't wrapped. See, this is why I should have had a teenage pregnancy. Kids love wrapping and decorating, don't they? I could have had my very own child slave by now.

Just watched Mamma Mia. It was wonderful! I love Abba so it was win, win, win, but it looked fabulous on Blu-Ray. LOL @ Julie Walters falling off that little boat. And I wish to declare my eternal love for Colin Firth. I shall have his babies at the nearest opportunity and raise an army of present-wrapping, Christmas-tree decorating Firthies that will one day take over the Earth with silver tinsel and a fairy with no head.

I feel slightly better today and the first draft of the GC epilogue is nearly done. Yays.
