Christmas Shopping Done!

As of today, I am finished Christmas shopping. I have wrapped all the presents and they are all parked in the bedroom waiting for Christmas morning.

I love being done early. No more worries.

I might still have to wrap more, though. Mom's been sick and thinks she won't be able to wrap all the presents so I'll probably wind up doing Anna's and Sara's and sticking all the packages with Post-It Notes identifying them for what they are so Mom can finish labeling them.

Not much going on here; we're just lying around doing not much at the moment. If Spritey didn't have white fur I wouldn't be able to see her at all.

Ta,

PS: I find this little stupid thing funny, but has anyone noticed that in DW's "Vampires in Venice" when Signora Rosanna Calvierri gets a drink that that cup looks ONE HELL of a lot like the Cup of Life from Merlin?

Here. I am insane and went and found you pictures of each cup.

Here's the DW one. You can't see the detailing underneath the bowl part of this goblet because of the actress' hands but there is something there in a later frame.



Okay, here's the Merlin cup for comparison:



They are of very similar design even if they aren't the same one, right down to the base and the triangular legs on the thing.

I mean, who raided the BBC props department that week and said, "Ooh, they won't need this. I'll just borrow it and hand it back for the end of Merlin series 3?" Or do the prop people just have no imagination when it comes to gobletature of the sort of Middle Ages?

It could be that I pay attention to the little details too much. I mean, I noticed Uther drinking out of one of Bayard's gift goblets this year (not the poisoned one) and had a good laugh at that. At least we know he bothers to use the gifts he's given.

Oi. I think too much.
