Balls to Christmas

so the 12 days of christmas came and went, and so did the feast of the epiphany (and i didn't have a good idea that day). it was time to take down the christmas tree.

last year we didn't put up a tree. in it's place, or so we thought, we placed a wicker-type reindeer, christened, of course, "robbie." we did have a tree this year, but the our little wicker friend also made a reappearance. Bulbgirl had a swedish friend staying over for a week (she was the one who gave us 24 series 6), who informed us that our reindeer was in fact a billy goat. robbie's name quickly changed to billy, although we have in the past called him goldenballs due to the baubles we gave him. bulbcat #3, likes him though she was a little wary at first. she thought he was encroaching on her territory, but eventually got used to going up and giving him a good sniff.



for christmas 2007 we had a small fibreoptic tree. simple but effective, and very hypnotic at night. we didn't have a fairy to stick on the top of it, so i used a figure that i got from ebay, a masters of the universe villain called trapjaw. bat wings were planned but time ran out to make them. not the prettiest of fairies but he did the job.


christmas popped into my head again today after coming across the merry xmas everybody vid by slade. it's strange how it doesn't have the same effect on people after christmas. i suppose that's why they call it seasonal. out with the old and in with the new, looking ahead to valentine's day and easter and all that jazz. i just feel a little cheated as we haven't really had a proper snowfall yet.

Day 1 half way through Day 6

happy new year all!

what did you do on the first day of the year? Bulbgirl and i got half way through day 6. before you have any ideas that we have perfected time travel, or, more likely, are having a nervous breakdown, i'm talking 24.

if you are a fan of 24 starring keifer sutherland you probably call it day 6, non-fans tend to call it series 6. as the powerbook screen is still out of action, we watched it on my parents tv screen. not owning a tv is great but to watch a dvd series our backup portable dvd player doesn't really cut the mustard.

after series 5 ended i couldn't have imagined that the series creators could come up with premise to keep the show running, but they have, and damn good it is too. well, so far anyway. i won't spoil it for you buy giving away any details, but if you haven't checked it out yet, i heartily recommend it. we first got into it a couple of years back, when we were both loaded with the flu at new year time and did nothing but watch the first 3 series of 24. instead of thinking should i watch another episode?, it is so compulsive you start thinking should i watch another disc?

ok i will give away a spoiler: keifer sutherland, a man who knows his way around a good flashlight, and he still hasn't picked one up twelve hours into day 6! :o

have i spoiled it for you now?
