Grrr and so on, but i'm only saying that so I have an excuse to use my new SGU/Futurama Icon.

Hehe - I think we all need an angry dome.

Actually, Monday finds me in a good mood. I think the unexpected free weekend was a good thing. I spent most of it sorting out my DVD collection. And reading waaaaay too much slashfic. Can I just say alphbetising is fun? I know it shouldn't be but it is. Although when Rollerball (the original) ends up next to Schindlers List I have to wonder whether it was the best way to go about it...

In other news, there are new faces on my flist! Hullo new peeps! Come in, pull up a couch and chill :)

What do Paul Bettony, angels and large guns have in common?

THIS!

Holy. Shit.

And then theres this:

It looks to me like 2010 is going to be a good year for films if this is just January. Bout damn time. This years been pants for cinema.

Supernatural Ep 10.

*sniff* *whimper*

That is all.

Everyone dance!

*dances*

Woo Friday!

So this weekend I was supposed to be going to mums but it's been cried off. My Grandad B is unwell and mum wants to spend time with him. Sooooo...UNEXPECTED FREE WEEEKEND!

Note to self: Get foot rest for home. Height of the new desk means raising the chair and consequently my stumpy little legs are on tiptoes. Bad for the circulation.

In other news, the Male has an interview on Monday for a place in Welwyn Garden City. It's a bit of a trek if he gets it but it's a good opportunity. I just hope he gets it. He needs to get something soon as the stupid governement has decided that he won't be getting jobseekers after this month.

But Friday is not the day for a rant of this sort. No way.

So whats everyone got planned for the weekend??

Finding other Supernatural fans in the DW fandom.

Up til today I thought the two were like oil and water.

Yay!

Also - Need more SPN icons. Happy!Dean icons would be preferable.

I was just sat in traffic, minding my own business, singing along to the CD in that distracted way that people always do morning journeys in. There was a car in front of me (obv) and for some reason my brain is kicking me to pay attention.

I look and I swear to god I am not making this up.

On the back in the dirt someone had written the following:

****************
**TEAM EDWARD**
****************

The tipping point that sent me into hysterics?

It was a Volvo.

To whoever did that, whether it was a piss take or a genuine vote for Edward, see my Icon because I fucking LOVE you right now.

So tired. Did not sleep much due to the insane wind. It's so windy. I had to hold onto the steering wheel so tight on the journey in this morning. It's been howling all night. Even the cat got a fright and was outside the door at 3 am wanting attention.

As a consequence I had some very very weird dreams last night. There was something about a new car and how it was actually an old banger but I thought it was completely new and shiny. Everyone was telling me it was a pile of shite but I couldn't see it.

Then there was the slightly weirder dream.

I was walking with this guy (I know him from somewhere but I've no idea where) and we were going to a block of flats. He hung his briefcase up on some coat hooks and pressed some buttons on a panel and showed me a staircase. He said we had to take the stairs because he didn't want his fiance finding out that I was in the flat.

I followed him up the stairs and we ended up in some communal kitchen. There were loads of people around all eating desserts so we helped ourselves to some cheesecake and sat down at a table to eat. There was something on the telly about how Hotpoint ovens were overheating and causing many house fires.

Suddenly we're in the kitchen of his flat and i'm pointing at the oven and saying "You've got a Hotpoint." The guy just smiled and took my hand and lead me from the table along a narrow corridor to a bedroom. It was a guest room (I don't know how I know that) and we lay down on the bed and I turned to kiss him but for some reason he was laying much higher up on the bed and I couldn't reach.

So i'm laying there making gibbon faces trying to stretch my lips to his (i've no idea why I couldn't just move) when his missus shows up and starts screaming.

Best thing about this dream? I was actually making weird stretchy-lipped gibbon faces when I woke up.

I lol'd.

G'wai Tuesday.

My workload seems to have dropped off immensely over the last few weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about this. If I wasn't sitting directly in front of the bossman I would be able to chill and do something like write or whatever. But his prescence makes that impossible. Which means i'm getting bored and looking decidedly unproductive.

I wonder if this is another step towards redundancy. I think when the new Maidenhead IT manager starts next month it'll be another nail in my coffin.

I'm in two minds as to how I feel about this. One part of me is happy with the idea of an extended period of getting my mortgage paid for me and chilling out with fandom. Another, more practical part of me is going "This is not a good thing. Look busier!"

IDEK. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

In other news...um...what can I talk about..?

Supposed to be going to mums this weekend but I am not sure I can be arsed. Grandads not going to be around this weekend and ever since I found out about Charlie and that whole thing, I can't muster the energy to go and spend time up there. It'll be drama, drama, drama all weekend and frankly I can do without it. Dave says I should just go and get my xmas weekend visit out of the way earlier rather than later but my inner five year old is going "Don't wanna!".

I think I need a holiday. Shame i've only got 3.5 days left to last me til April next year. I'll be working all over xmas which is good because I HATE the xmas period and would much rather be at work than dealing with family shite.

Okay so I am going to shut up now and take my grump elsewhere.

OMG.

Just OMG.

7tree_hugger (or anyone else that hasn't seen it yet) DON'T READ THIS! THERE ARE SPOILERS!

( There's too much to squee about! )

WATERS OF MARS!

Tonight at 7pm BBC One!

*excitement overload*

Feeling a lot more human today. I actually feel TONS better. This is a very good thing. I've woken up HUNGRY! Dave's just off down to the shop to acquire me crumpets and cheese for breakfast. First decent food I've had since Tuesday.

Can I just say - it feels sooooooo nice to not ache.

Today I think I will mostly be playing with Windows 7 which arrived yesterday but I couldn't be bothered to do anything with and maybe a little writing.

So in conclusion: I'm back :) What have I missed??

Still ache everywhere and am cold and shaky but the cough seems to have eased off. Chest hurts like a bitch but am actually feeling a fraction better which may or may not be due to a large amount of lemsip and paracetamol.

Weird fever dreams though. Something about a TV show but all my workmates were there. Very very odd.

Thanks for all the good wishes yesterday. Sorry I didn't reply...lack of energy. They meant a lot.

I go to the couch now.

*puts up hazard warning*

Thik I've got the flu. Or some virus. Feel crap. Headache, sore muscles, stuffy nose, slight temp.

*tries for sleep*

I'm all prickly like i'm getting a cold but i'm not sniffling or anything. My head is all achey and swimming and I feel like i'm gonna fall over if I get up too quick. Throat tickles a bit too.

Weird. Must be coming down with something. *shrug*

In other news the new guy started at work today. He seems a nice chap. Older, got two kids and a missus and live just down the road. Nice though. Seems to know what he's on about.

In other other news not a single bloody person has said anything about my hair. I know I work in a office full of boys but come on! It's BLACK! You're not seeing things! Just say something cos the sideways looks you're giving me while you're deciding if I've done something different aren't as subtle as you think they are.

*facepalm*

I'm dying my hair blue-black this weekend. I've had enough of red and it's time for a change.

As ordered requested by filthgoblin there will be before and after pictures. ;)

Seriously! The back of my hand is all grazed and scratched. It wasn't Mister because the door was closed all night. I've no idea how they got there.

Weird.

In other news, our new furniture has arrived. Lovely reclaimed oak units. They're a little bit darker than the floor judging by the photos but that's cool as we've got a lot of dark in the floor anyway. Need some rugs now to soften the whole thng.

Yes people, that's how exciting my life is. Rug shopping.

Today the new bossman is out of the office and the old bossman appears to be dawdling in his getting to work. This makes for a relaxed morning.

What shall I do first? Spreadsheets or procedures??

Seriously. I have a proper strop on today. I feel like throwing my toys out of the pram and throwing a huge tantrum on the floor.

I think it's because I am so BORED of modeling these damn MS licensing price plans. Holy fuck it's dull. Seriously. I normally like playing with Excel and spreadsheets and so on but i've been doing this for 2 weeks now in one form or another and I have absolutely no desire to continue with it. I believe a decision is due to be made tomorrow and honestly i'm about ready to throw things at people if it doesn't happen.

*sigh*

In other news...well there isn't really any other news. I'm too stroppy for other news.

I spent 6 hours watching the whole of State of Play. The John Simm/David Morrissey version, not the one with whats-his-face. Went to bed at 1.40am and anyone that knows me knows that that is INSANELY late for me.

BUT it was worth it. Totally worth it.

More pretty men than I know what to do with. John Simm, David Morrissey, Bill Nighy, Philip Glennister, James McAvoy and Marc Warren. IN THE SAME SHOW. Honestly, British telly is so incestuous. My love for Bill Nighy grows and grows the more I see of him. I LOVE his little snort-laugh. But the whole cast rocked it really hard.

The story was genius. I only meant to watch the first disc but I got so caught up that I ended up watching the whole thing straight through. I was really intrigued. The story telling was superb and although I sort of guessed the ending I didn't care because of the artful way it was done. Brilliant.

If you like political thrillers then you should definitely check it out.

filthgoblin - I'm too tired for anything other than generic squee at the moment but I completely agree - it ROCKS really hard.

I actually encouraged him earlier in the week but he didn't seem to fancy it but since he's perked up he's quite keen.

This is a Good Thing™.

Bonus weekend to myself! Yay!

I plan to vid. Lots and lots of vidding. I really want to get this first one finished. I don't know if I will but i'm going to give it a damn good try. I shall post here when it's done and you guys can tell me if it's worthy of posting in comms. I might just keep it to just my LJ cos it is a first attempt...IDK.

In other news, my unhealthy obsession with SPN, and Dean and Castiel in particular, continues to grow at an exponential rate. My dreams lately have been explicit and awesome. Long may the pretty continue to reside on my telly and in my head.

*grin*

So I bought the Male a new case for his iPhone off a seller on Ebay.

This morning I get a mail from Ebay and PayPal telling me that the listing is no longer active and that I should contact the seller if I want my money back. So I try to do just that but of course the bloody seller has disappeared and taken the money.

Can I just say that raising a grievance with a person that's not there is remarkably difficult?

I have to go through about a frillion hoops with PayPal to get my money back now. It's not a lot of money, only seven quid, but it's my money damnit! Give it back! Plus Dave is out a little cheering up pressie.

FML.

Ah well. Not a lot I can do about it for now. Grievance raised and in the works so lets just see. Now I have to look for a different one for Dave.

Work work work...
