It's taking us awhile to get through Downton Abbey because I was house sitting for 2.5 weeks, so wasn't home for much telly watching. But we're half way through season 4 now, and i have to say, I understand why people keep referring nostalgically to season one as the best. I am still completely invested the lives of all my favourite characters but am constantly worried and stressed about all the crap that keeps happening to them.

And for the record, Downton Abbey should absolutely NOT be allowed to have Christmas Specials. I really don't think they've grasped the concept - Christmas Specials are supposed to be joyful, feel-good episodes, not a freaking excuse to do horrible things to the most beloved characters.



Holy crap, I was googling images of Tom Branson and Mrs Hughes after she totally saved his arse and found this piccie of the actors at an awards show. Wow!

However, Dragonfly requests that I throw it out there...


With a view to teaching children about rainbows -

What is the progression in teaching children the concept of light? (what age group should be taught which concepts)

Would a concept (learning) spiral be the best approach?

When I got home and settled in last night...

Me *holding up two movies* Which do you want to watch?
Dragonfly *pauses* Which one do you think I'd prefer?
Me - No, I meant, which one do you want to watch FIRST?

...this is why we're still living together after all these years.

While on holiday I watched Hot Fuzz with the commentaries on, and all the dvd extras. In one, Inspector Nicholas Angel explains how everyone miraculously survived the explosion, concluding with:

Angel - As for Danny, well it's a miracle that Weaver's blunderbuss missed all of his vital organs, and I thank my lucky stars every morning that he's still here, by my side....isn't that right, Danny?

Danny - I'm in the bath!

dragonfly8 *appears in my bedroom doorway brandishing a large knife* OMG I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS BEING HORRIBLY MURDERED IN HERE!


I was singing along to a My Chemical Romance song.


And then she made fun of me on livejournal. This, she posts about.

There's a slightly drunk Dutch guy wearing a sarong, a sleeveless shirt unbuttoned to the navel, a gold necklace with a rectangular pendant, a stud in one ear and a sleeper in the other sitting our couch telling us he only has a problem with gay guys if they're effeminate and two girls together are good and he's all for an 'altogether' and he'd like to watch and oh, are we gay?

Me - Dragonfly! Meaning of Life question! Torchwood's up! Do I download it now, so we can watch it tonight, or wait til after midnight, and watch it tomorrow?

Dragonfly - I don't care. You're the one who gets PATHETIC when we get shaped.

Me *is paralysed with indecision*

Dragonfly gave me a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea made from longlife milk she'd apparently had stashed away.

Dragonfly asked me to ask if anyone has access to frangipani cuttings, and can we have some please?

Saw this ad for Today Tonight - The Miracle Dress That Looks Great On Every Woman. This is *news*. I'm just saying, there is nothing more important to talk about at the moment?

Me It's a MAGIC dress. When bigger people put it on, all the extra weight gets sucked into it and then when skinny people put it on the weight slides back into the dress and fills it out. Voila!
Dragonfly So does that mean when you take off the dress the extra weight is gone too?
Me No, the magic is IN the dress.
Dragonfly It's rubbish magic, then. And also, TERROR LAWS.

Now I'm thinking this post should be DELINGUISHED.

*watches as flist all click on their online dictionaries*

Delinguish is my NEW FAVOURITE WORD.

# It is Harry's last year at Hogwarts, and he discovers a new weapon that will delinguish Voldemort forever.

Ah, Summary Executions, I always forget about you until I stumble over excitedness in some friend of friend of friendslist.

Also, 'annihilate' is just too complicated, I think. Sure, it looks pretty, and it's an exciting challenge for those weirdos who go on Spelling Bee tournaments, but really wouldn't it be just better like this...

An rich american family was the victim of a Lord Voldemort attack. They were almost completly enialated, except for one girl, the only witch, at least, that's what she thinks.

No really, I'm going to change my spellcheck. Also, I think 'freind' should be spelt like this. I've always thought so. In fact I spent my entire primary school career getting marked down on it. Sure, I knew how they thought it should be spelt, but clearly my way is better. Everyone can see this, right?

In conclusion, I really, really want to read this fic...

God has found a way to unite the kindgoms of Heaven and Hell. It involves his son Draco and Lucifer's son Harry

Well, okay, not *that* actual fic. But the fic that, say, helenish could write given that premise.

*sigh*


Also, I just went through this post and deleted about twelve exclamation mark. I've become an exclamation mark ho.

So last night Dragonfly rocks up to Emma & Trille's full of joie de vivre and looking forward to hours and hours of Atlantis.

Dragonfly *strolls in* What ho!
Emma So everything work out with Bunny then?
Dragonfly What?
Emma Did you get Bunny out of the toilet all right?
Dragonfly WHAT?
Emma Sarren posted that Bunny was stuck in the toilet...
Dragonfly *stares speechlessly*
Emma Would you like to use the phone?
