Just watched Matt Smith on Craig Ferguson - I don't care if all the evidence says otherwise, that boy is totally from another planet in the best possible way :-)

Man, yesterday was the nicest Sunday I've had in ages - went through to Edinburgh and met the former German Flatmate for a coffee and catch-up and general gossip about the state of things, and then piled into The Liquid Rooms amongst all of the other pensioners and teenagers and students and middle-aged folkies. I've never been to a concert where ( Read more... )

It's noon on Halloween.  The sun is shining down on the old tenenment buildings on the other side of the back yard and on the red and yellow trees, it's lovely and crisp out, and I have just finished eating a late breakfast of toast and Nutella and tea while watching Supernatural.

Oh boy, you guys, I think my show might be back! *dances up and down*  Weekend at Bobby's felt like a cross between a Season 2 outtake and a really fun fanfic. The whole show was basically Bobby and Rufus snarking at each other, and everyone being awesome. Tense, funny, poking fun at itself - this is what I got into Supernatural to watch. Jim ( Read more... )

Oh dear. After that class in Marketing and Management and utterly failing* both Information Retrieval and Stats lab practicals this week, I'm beginning to worry that I'm not practical enough to be a librarian. Currently attempting to write an essay comparing and contrasting traditional and digital library services, which I think I have to rein in a ( Read more... )

To NaNo or not to NaNo, that is the question. And if so, on which project? Dear Brain, why do you suck so much at actually completing projects? Grr. I'll be over here with my coffee, plotting in all senses of the word.
