So on Wednesday night we forgot to lock the door and had a break-in. My laptop and ipod got stolen. I'm on a new laptop now, as they don't think they can get the other one back. I have lost all my work that I've done this year, a good chunk of audiobooks and podcasts, photos, movies, and all of my bookmarks. With a bit of effort, some things can be ( Read more... )

I have been emailing myself links from Twitter that I want to remember or read later, and have amassed quite a few over the last month or so, so I thought I'd organise them somewhere I can check back and look at them. They are a bit random but still interesting. If you want to know more about any of the articles, let me know in comments and I'll ( Read more... )

I think I'm going to have to start writing stories about bored waitresses who work on Friday nights, but then hot young men come in and whisk her away on a grand adventure.

Though right now I'd just settle for a customer... Actually scratch that, none of the customers are cute and they interrupt my adventures with the imaginary ones.

I love this show, it was awesome all the way through. Funny and fast paced and exciting and suitably tension filled. I'm looking forward in hope of some good fanfiction coming soon too.
