Real update coming once I get around to it; ideally later today. To tide you over, we have:

Xmas short form. My baby sister still sucks, I got a digital camera (which I haven't tried to hook up yet) and a GameCube (which gets mad points for style), sort of, and work sucks. Although it doesn't suck in Czech.

Which Science Fiction Writer Are You? According to my GM style, I appear to be Olaf Stapledon. (?)

If LotR Had Been Written By Someone Else: page seven has a very nice Good Omens parody.

LJ Awards.

And for jude, from Volume 36 of Zarf's Left Foot Living Review:

"The Hat of Eternal Surprise is worn by many of the more whimsical on the streets, these days. A simple bowler hat hangs exactly two inches over the wearer's head. There's a certain amount of give in the support field, so it flaps nicely in a strong breeze.

"But more: you can connect it to a neuroplug which monitors your emotional state. When you are gloomy, the hat sags; if something delights you, the hat springs high.

"The people wearing this hat are not always who you might expect."

We were 20 steps from the exit when the giant flaming Balrons first appeared over our heads. These weren't your normal giant flaming Balrons but some sort of interdimensional Maia that would sit and spin in mid air before dissolving before your very eyes and sneaking up behind you. Gandalf had the pipe and I had the ring which, so far, I had been able to resist trading to the local drug lords for another package of white. Gandalf was shouting random Macrohydration spells while simultaneously trying to not trip over his robes and fall face first into the local pools of goo. Legolas took another drink from his flask and, once again, began explaining how elves were different than humans and much, much mellower.

Best of the lot, IMHO. :)
