Package from Sybille!

Ronnie and me


Above photo: Ronnie and me. Luisa asked for permission to print up a t-shirt with one of my cartoons; I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

King Kong


Jeff and I enjoyed hanging out with Luisa, Reid, Michael and Ronnie yesterday. None of them had seen our house since it was an empty shell, so it was fun to take them on a tour. Afterward we went to see King Kong. I enjoyed the movie, though I thought it dragged a bit in parts.

I liked Naomi Watts in the role much better than I expected, and I was glad to see she did much more than just scream. It was odd to see Jack Black in a serious role like this; I kept remembering his manic behaviour in School of Rock so kept half-expecting him to bring out in song at any minute.

A package arrived from Germany yesterday. Thanks so much to Sybille Machat for the Christmas ornament!

Xmas ornament from Sibylle


...and the cozy Christmas slipper-socks!

Socks from Sibylle!


I enjoyed meeting Sibylle in Germany at Filkcontinental:

One of my favourite Sibylle songs is the "The Evil Eyeball", an amusing Lord of the Rings song which she performs with enormous expressiveness. :-D

Thanks, Sibylle!
