Last Presents of Christmas and Birthday!
AKA we finally got up to see my Auntie Ann so she could give us the stuff she'd bought us. My share of the loot:
-->A new set of flannel sheets for my bed (which she gave me just in time, as it's getting into bitterly-cold-below freezing territory this upcoming week)
-->The Amazing Maurice & His Educated Rodents, the first Discworld young adult novel that I wanted (since I finished the adult stuff)
-->The Vinyl Idols statue of Doc
-->Back To The Future: The Ultimate Visual History -- which is bigger, heavier, and comes with more extras than I realized (a holographic version of the famous fading photograph! a copy of Marty's letter to Doc, and Doc's letter to Marty! a Biff Buck! a reproduction of a staff pass to BTTF: The Ride!) -- plus intros by Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd! :D It has been a good year for Backie gifts. I'm going to have a ton to read on the subject, let me tell you.
Other things of note:
-->Watched the NC's review of The Force Awakens with the Cinema Snob, which was amusing but shorter than I anticipated. And perhaps a bit heavy on the Jar-Jar vs poo jokes. I liked the mocking of the Holiday Special, though. :p
-->Work continues on "Remembering You" -- focused today on working in a reporter from the Illustrated London News, since they're of course going to be all over this story. Also allowed me to touch on one of my headcanons -- that it was one of THEM who sent Alice the picture of her family, figuring it was a good "thank you" for all the headlines. (If you play the storybook app, they do seem to come off as on her side.) Good times :D
-->Played some more BTTF: The Game. Got two of the "wreck Edna and Emmett's relationship" goals down -- just the mind map to go. I also made sure to give a bunch of people algae cakes to turn their teeth green. XD That's such a fun little extra, I love it. Go Telltale.
And that's about it, really. Been a pretty nice Saturday overall. Hopefully Sunday will be the same -- last day of the four-day weekends, after all. *sigh* Ah well -- all good things must come to an end. See you all later!
