Congratulations to the wonderful Terry Pratchett, who was knighted today! ♥
Also... stupid-American question: There's a bit of a debate going on over here, among those of us who know and care about this, whether the whole being-knighted thing consists of just a proclamation, or if there's still the whole ceremonial thing with the sword. Anybody know the answer?
And! Happy New Year!!! I know a lot of you have been putting up with all sorts of unpleasant crud this past year, so I hope 2009 is lots better for everyone!
