Damn right
BBC NEWS: Serenity named top sci-fi film Serenity, a film by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, has been voted the worlds best sci-fi movie in an SFX magazine poll of 3,000 people.

Neroblogging, birthdays, etc.
I woke up yesterday morning to find myself, somewhat disconcertingly, a year older than I had been when I went to sleep. I don’t have much truck with birthdays to be honest. As a kid, of course, they were second only to Christmas in the times-of-the-year-to-be-excited-about stakes, but, being a kid, that was pretty much [...]Archive

Season’s cheer
… to you all. May the Hogfather (by the way, congratulations to Pterry on what seems to have been a generally well received TV adaptation, although some of the crowd in alt.fan.pratchett were a bit tough on it) bring you something you like, provided that you’ve not been either naughty or a Ghastly Heathen, in [...]Archive
