The hotel has free internet, so I am here! I don't think I should trying getting the new Doctor Who Christmas special, so that will still have to wait until I get back home, but I did manage to read and comment on my yuletide present.
Which was Think When the Bells do Chime, and omg it's Garth Nix's Abhorsen series and Nick/Lirael and adventure with the Dead! It was sweet and lovely and ADVENTURE WITH THE DEAD! :D ♥
For more tangible presents, I got DW S4 yay. Also a new iPod and a new phone, both of which I needed because my old ones were starting to not work so well anymore. :p Also, when my mom saw me reading Dorothy Sayers a few months ago, she said she was going to get me a book by someone who wrote similar books to Sayers, so she did, and I read it, and now I have a new author to devour. :D
I also had an absolutely lovely Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent with the extended family (second and third cousins), but today was just the cousins--my mom's brother and sister and their kids. I love my cousins. My oldest cousin works in a Napa Valley winery and my only male cousin is becoming something of a beer connoisieur so there was some very good beer and wine there too. :p
Tomorrow I'm going to the grandparents', and then the day after I'm coming home and I'm going to watch the DW Christmas special, and I think my friends and I are going to take Twin out. Then on the 30th friends and I are going down to Las Vegas, and we're going to spend New Year's in Vegas, and that will probably be...epic. XD
(Except then they want us to camp in Zion National Park for a night. In the beginning of January. CAMPING. IN JANUARY. WHEN IT'S ALREADY SNOWED IN VEGAS. Please tell me I am not the only one who thinks this is a bit crazy? *sigh* I will go, but I've never been much of a camping person. I hope it's still fun.)
Okay, my signal has been going in and out, so I'm going to get going.
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates, and happy holidays to all!
