Harold Pinter.

I had to delete twelve pictures to get my Pinter icon back, but I thought if I was going to note his actual death here I ought really to have it. Mostly my interest in Harold Pinter was due his being a repeated joke in Nightingales, but I did get properly interested in him as a playwright (if not in any sense as a poet) after seeing The Birthday Party in London this year. Mostly he's left a sizeable hole in my fantasy opening night audience.

Eartha Kitt's died now. That's not very festive.

I hate Yuletide because I never do it. Sort of. That's not a very good reason. All the things I want are too rare even to count as rare fandoms, to be honest. Probably I'll try and read some of it tomorrow. It's just a bit too epic.

I hope you had a pleasant Christmas. I hope your puddings didn't dry out. I hope you had the good fortune to miss Doctor Who. Mother asked me if I'd seen the end of it. I hadn't actually. I'd run away about halfway through after the traditional ( The static is covering spoilers )

I've been out walking mostly, and eating mildly spiced confections and opening stuff. Good old stuff. I've a hat with ears now and a velvet jacket. Go me.
