Am almost organised for Christmas. Stuff has been ordered, just have one person's stuff to buy when I get moneys on Thursday (yeah, Christmas Eve shopping, oh joy) and I've managed to keep a little back for myself to combine with any money I get. Just always get nervous when waiting for stuff in the post, which has been prmised will be delivered before the 25th, honest guv.

Annoyingly, there's too many options for stuff to get right now and the XBLA sale is another one of those bloody annoying ones where different things are on sale every day for seventeen days.

I'm going to try and hold out so I can buy two of the LEgo games I don't have, Batman 3 and Jurassic World. Was playing the Jurassic World demo during one sleepless night and yes it's just another Lego game really but you get to be dinosaurs.

Also I made the fatal flaw of downloading and perusing the new Lego Catalogue for stuff jsut out or coming soon. I covet the Lego version of the Ghost from Star wars:Rebels, because it's an awesome ship and it's owner/pilot is my favourite character in the show. But combined with the Phantom shuttle (sold seperately of course) you're looking at £80-90.

But they've started doing these Microfighter sets, which are about eight or nine quid and are wee minaturised versions of ships, with a minifig pilot that look kind of like a fairground rocket ship ride and coming out on Boxing Day on the Lego shop is...

...so going to try and keep enough so I can have Hera sat next to the Ghostbusters, Iron Man, Gandalf, Michael Schumacher and a few other semi random Lego peeps. I also really like the At-At and the new X-Wing because the pilot who comes with it is a big bloke about my size and it's always a joy to see a big bloke fighting alongside everyone else.

(I'm also trying to retrieve all my Lego, well my recentish stuff, from the folks'. There's at least two kits I bought down in Surrey in 2004/2005 I never built.

My insomnia has been awful and I've been watching more old Doctor Who. Death To The Daleks really is Terry Nation by numbers and the patterned tile floor cliffhanger still makes me laugh. It does however have a magnificent justification for there only being four Dalek props. "They must continue to believe there are only four of us."
