Briefly

In the middle of the few-days-before-Christmas business, I discovered that for the first time in many a year, I will get a Yuletide Treat, and also, I'm pretty sure re: the fandom, so imagine yours truly running around with a wide smile of delight today. I can't wait! (For the official assignment gift as well, of course, but the treat was such an unexepcted bonus this year.)

Speaking of fanfiction look forward to, startrekholidays will open soon, I think, and then I'm pouncing here.

Armando Iannucci, who directed the latest screen version, on why we should (re)read David Copperfield. I'm with him there. The bit about Uriah Heep is especially interesting.
