christmas all over again

this week in citybeat, i have a look back at some notable things about comics in 2007.

my christmas was great. we had a small gathering of good friends that night -- food, drink, conversation, music, and silly hats -- and my best gifts included a new suitcase (from 00soul), a lovely homemade black scarf and matching handwarmers (from coiledsoul), and ... no dalek, but i did receive my very own doctor who doll (from the doc), complete with tiny sonic screwdriver and miniature cream-colored hightops. ahahaha. it's awesome.

speaking of the doctor, tonight i saw the doctor who christmas special. it was very poseidon adventure. goofy and scary and tragic. lots 'n' lots of angst for the doctor. kylie minogue playing a girl with a TARDIS-anagram name (another blonde to remind him of rose). and the time lord in a tux again! yay.

when it does air here officially, the episode will be little more than a cult jam for sci fi or BBC america. but in the u.k. it was a smash success, and something like half the viewing public watched it. ahahaha. that's awesome.
