Gah! I am going up to manchester tomorrow to see hopefully both FotR and TTT special editions at the cinema, or atleast one if not both. Then i'm coming home on Saturday in time for a rucksack fitting (big, scary, will-contain-my-world-while-i'm-away rucksack) and then the aikido christmas meal. I would question my sanity...then remember that that ( Read more... )

Have decided that my forte in life is collecting and herding used staples that have lost their homes, poor things *sniffle* I now have 5 differently sized and shaped piles to care for and it seems the more love and nurture i give them (sprinkled with a healthy portion of neglect, of course) the more they grow :D Now all that has to happen is either ( Read more... )

Dude! Have had quite a busy, fun weekend ( Read more... )

My phone didn’t seem to appreciate the rain as much as I did and stopped working on Tuesday evening. First the buttons didn’t work so I took the battery out, then whenever I put the battery back in it turned on but if I pressed any of the buttons (except the ones that should perform the function, which didn’t work) it switched off again. I tried ( Read more... )

Gave in to temptation today and bought TTTEE:DVD. I was going to hold out (though now thinking about it I don’t know what for) and actually went to buy the new Lamb album, but they sold out, so I had to settle for TTT. How will I cope I wonder? :)

During lunch I found a game named after Jimmy! Everyone should go play GemJam! (it’s in the list on ( Read more... )

Very bizarre. After getting bored of procrastinating, nagged by Kitty and realising I would actually have to tell my parents within the week that I have quit homebase (as my last day is tomorrow), on Monday I signed up with a temp agency. Today I got a job working at an office. I am still slightly bemused. I mean, it’s nothing exciting, I filed ( Read more... )

YAY! Buffy's back on terrestrial!!! Except the evil bastards didn't seem to advertise the fact AND they changed the day to thoroughly confuse! Anyone would think they didn't want us to watch Buffy (coupling this with the fact that if there's ever the chance to put something rather than Buffy on they do, i think there's something in that claim). But ( Read more... )

Today I feel old due to being all achey and stiff from yesterday. Had an exhausting but fun aikido lesson yesterday, where I got to be uki for a brown belt (means lots of running around and being thrown). Came home and had a lurvely long hot bath and went to bed early, but I still have managed to wake up stiff, so will have to live!!

( Catch up on last few days of my existence )

We're going to have a film crew down our street next week! We got a letter through the door telling us. They've been filming down another road nearby for bout 6 weeks, but this is actually my road! Yay! I mean, ok, it's for some probably crappy tv drama thing, but hey, i'm easily pleased :D

Finished At Swim (finally) earlier this evening. Still in shock. Absolutely heart-wrenching and magnificient. About all i can say right now. Except i want to read it again...

And i don't know whether it's the mancunian water, coming back to Southern water, or the curry from last night catching up with me, but oooooww, stomach ache.
