Christmas Hangover
It's the day after Christmas … shouldn't that be a day looked forward to like Christmas Eve as well? Anyroad, I among most other celebrants have survived the long-trumpeted day of merriment, feasting and, dare I say it, good will towards Mankind ( Read more... ) -

Impressions of AnthroCon 07'
