This is actually a couple of weeks old, and it's now the day after Christmas, but I posted the Muppet version of "Carol of the Bells" last year, and I didn't think I should go another year without something holiday-themed, so I present this little gem, courtesy of Paul and Storm:

On a related note, I met my niece's boyfriend's nephew yesterday. He's a little 7 month-old boy named "Jaxom", who was named for the character from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. His mother was so impressed that I knew who she named her son after. I told her I was well-versed in the "classics".
Back in the 1990s I worked for the computer game developer who had the rights to a Pern computer game. I read all the books sequentially, all proof editions supplied by AnnieMac herself with her typesetters corrections and notes scribbled in the margins. If I were dishonest I could have made a fortune on eBay.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit, though I found them perfectly readable, I wouldn't go back and read 'em a second time.
The game? Don't bother trying to find it, it was awful. Merely being a licence of something popular is not a guarantee of good gameplay.
