Season's greetings

-

I'm a little bit late with this (sorry!), mainly due to having had a busy Xmas and having a less than charming cold at the same time. :( Hope you've all had a lovely time, celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, or whatever religious denomination floats your boat. I quite like the term "Xmas" because it's nicely unspecific, even though technically the X comes from the Greek letter pronounced "chi" or something, which is used when you start to spell "Christ", but still. Big letter X:es are good, they remind me of The X-Files. ;)

Anyway. It's that time of year, and I'd like to wish everyone a splendidly

Merry Xmas
(retroactively)
and a fantastically
Happy New Year

:D

The little fella on the top was found somewhere online a number of years back and used to come out around this time of year at my old Thomas Anders fansite, Weidungs Welt! ... and I went and got him out again, along with this old photo manip:

'Tis the season to be silly, falalalala lalalala

Now, I wonder if it's possible to start using the phrase "Squeemas" instead, just for the sake of it. If I start now, maybe it will have caught on by December next year. Whatcha reckon? ;)

    A cold at this time of year? I feel bad for you. Was it the rain?

    @Ragtag: Yup, 'tis also the season to be cold. At least it could be worse - could be the SWIIIINE FLUUUUU! *runs around waving arms* Nah, not been a lot of rain, it's just that time of year. Just a shame, as it's off to Sweden to spend New Year's with the family tomorrow, and not really feeling like I'd want to spend X hours travelling. :( Oh well. Hope you have a great 2010! :)

    @Maria: I'm doing my best, and right now, should be packing and stuff, but umm, I'd rather be in bed! :/ Hope you had a great Christmas and hope you'll have a great 2010! :)

    Happy New Year Traxy and have fun in Sweden! Hope you feel better soon. I had a sinus cold over Christmas and was pretty tired most of the time so I understand how you feel. Still, at least I didn't have to drag myself into work every day!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
