No Toast Points today, but here are two small shimmering jewels of delight you might have missed before we close up shop before Christmas (I mean, we’re still posting next week, but will you even notice? WILL YOU?):

1. Is there a universe parallel to our own that’s running backwards in time and that also I don’t understand how that works? Yes, definitely.

2. If Jaya and Matt weren’t already married, I would make them get married, for my own selfish amusement.

3. I will always, always care about it when someone finds super-old music and tries to recreate what it sounds like using modern instruments. This is one step closer to that Epic of Gilgamesh musical I have been longing for.
