I have the sound recorder but no sound. As far as I can see, every audio device is turned on, but whatever. I just took the laptop down to the local computer shop and asked the guy if he could just check that everything was enabled. No, I have to "check it in" he can't do it on the spot. This annoys me a lot. So much for handing in my assignment.

Also, my oil light came on and I had to go buy oil.

I've wasted half the day on this.

I wanted to show someone the awesomeness of Alan Cumming and discovered that youtube is really, really not working for me tonight. No really.

Got annoyed that his IMDB lists under 'Spouse' his previous marriage/divorce, but his civil partnership with Grant Shaffer only rates a mention under 'Trivia'!

Instead of just whinging about it on LJ, which was my first impulse obviously, decided to be pro-active and registered with IMDB in order to submit a correction.

Will wait with bated breath to find out if it gets approved )

I had a rant all ready about how come the only female Dr Who writer, Helen Raynor is so crap? She wrote Daleks in Manhattan, the only episode of Dr Who I never bothered to go back and watch the end of after I'd had a corrupted file. And then, I thought, she wrote Torchwood 2.04 Meat. Which is not a bad plot, but is terrible for the way it regresses Tosh into a pathetic, colourless wuss, after she'd had finally had such an interesting, fulfilling role in the awesome, fabulous 2.03 To the Last Man.

I eat my words. Turns out Helen Raynor wrote To the Last Man - one of the handful of Torchwood episodes that demonstrate what this show is really capable of. *hearts Tosh*


2.04 Meat was written by Catherine Treganna. Who also wrote 2.05 Adam.

Torchwood 2.05 Adam - I would really like to know what other people thought. )

1. I am SHAPED til the 13th. I am fixated on not being able to watch Dextor.**

2. Work. Oh, let me count the ways.

3. Missing the party tonight because I have to work.

4. My cold.

5. I am surviving on Coffee Chills and chocolate. I bought a King Size honeycomb Kit Kat yesterday, and I don't really like it. But it's the only chocolate I have, so I am eating it anyway. This does not make me feel good about myself.

6. Feeling bad about feeling bad.



**Obviously, I have priorities. Also, I may be a little unhinged.

*cries*

*represses urge to yell*

So my email seems to be stuck downloading and pages aren't downloading. Is it the broadband? I think. Wouldn't be the first time. I'll just go check Dragonfly's computer, I think.

Not only is everything downloading perfectly but this problem I've been having for about ten days now? Where clinking on links and lj cuts and comments sends me to blank pages? Nu huh. Not on *this* computer.

*FUUUUCCCKKKK*

What the hell is wrong with my computer that it screws up only certain parts of LJ?

*plainitive* Help me.

I am annoyed. ANNOYED.

Atlantis was supposed to be on, not some fucking news show endlessly repeating 'New updates after the break." and coming out with such pearls of wisdom as 'It is unclear at this time whether the suspects are known to each other.'

*restrains self from random acts of violence*

I was feeling all post-ey when I got on tonight *looks at time* nearly four hours ago. I was going to start with rant about customers who get shitty with you cos you won't let them off 50c because they don't want to break one of the many $50 dollar notes crammed in their wallet, then was going to segue nicely into how I've proactively started looking for another job. I even planned to update my resume tonight.

If there was time I was planning on sharing my deeply important thoughts on Being Upfront With Friends And Telling Them When they've Pissed You Off, and how that's killed two friendships totally and resulted in my best friend and I not talking for a year.

Then there were these shiny, shiny McKay/Sheppard links and now I'm full to burst with the OTP love and oh look it's 2am in the morning.

Suck at plot descriptions. Read it cos McKay rules and because I don't see how anyone could read this and not get the pairing. And it's by Shallott. So's the other one, actually.

This one. This nice long ::cough:: meaty ::cough:: fic. Lots of action-y and political-y plot stuff, also much hot sex and power dynamics *clutches image of Sheppard at McKay's feet to self to take to bed*.


Also, I totally get why it's McKay/Sheppard and not the other way around now. Cos clearly McKay is Master of the Universe. He is. He mentions it in that fic I just read.

not so pc

Me shortly after taking over store in dodgy, dodgy area: "Please remove that drink from beneath your top and put it back on the shelf, and please don't do that here again".

Me today one year later: *slams hands on counter* "TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR POCKET PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF AND LEAVE!"


sigh I used to be so mild mannered and unassuming....

mmmm...

and then when he matrixed his clothes on...

mmmm...


So, my movement. Slightly impaired today on account of bad judgement yesterday. When I unexpectedly got to the gym 40 minutes before my Bodyjam class and thought that I may as well do some weight training.

pauses

See, what I didn't know, or rather, did know but had not taken into account, was that the routines changed last week (when I wasn't there) This happens every 4 weeks, and what I didn't know was that we have a different probably not deliberately sadistic instructor and instead of fun bouncy dance routines interspersed with slow cool-down hip hop numbers, we had intense hip hop workout routines, interspersed with the cool-down hip hop numbers. That's a lot too much hip hop for my tastes. Also felt a lot too much like actual intense exercise.

Bah humbug.

Then, and this I didn't know, they'd changed the Body Balance class completely to a whole new stretchy balancy routine. Wont miss the badly-disguised-pushups. However, was left feeling like I need to be in a remedial balancing class.

Interesting development re Body Balance - am left with whole new appreciation for the female form...Have no idea what thats about.
