Around the Common Room

by Travis Prinzi on December 19, 2008

Christmas is quickly approaching. I still have shopping to do. And, we’re getting a puppy. Meet Moses.

Several things are on deck here at The Hog’s Head. This weekend, I’ll record a podcast and have it posted by Sunday. There will also be an extended post on Christmas, fairy tales, and Harry Potter early next week.

Don’t forget to enter the contest for a free copy of Harry Potter & Imagination – deadline is tonight!

Forthcoming both here at at The Rabbit Room are reviews of Twilight. Andrew Osenga has written a review for The Rabbit Room which will be amusing to folks who didn’t like the book.

Amy Sturgis is up for some awards, so go vote for her!
