TV ate my life

Three seperate people have encouraged me to watch Being Human on Sunday night. Well, I so intend to watch it, but the BBC intelligently decided to put it on against both brand new Lost and brand new Supernatural. Now, since Sky+ can only tape two things at a time, guess which two won. Being Human is however repeated on Monday, so I'll be watching it then instead.

It's been an okay day, this morning I was seized by the completely irrational urge to watch Traders, so I did. This after ion we did a trial run to Withernsea to see how long it takes. We took Milly too, since she loves the seaside as much as I do. Then this evening we watched The Dark Knight and drank a bit too much Glühwein. Which was awesome. Right now I'm watching some other film which is kinda rubbish. Tommorow I'm going to see Slumdog Millionaire, and then watch Supernatural. I might also make biscotti, but I might not, it depends on whether I'll be bothered. Maybe I'll make brownies instead... Or maybe I'll just sit around and watch more Traders.

I am so glad it's Friday! This week has really dragged. I think I'm going to celebrate by buying a DVD. I have an extensive list of ones I want, I might as well get some while I can afford it (i.e. before I'm fired for being rubbish). Weekend plans involve tidying my room (which I don't want to do, but kinda have to because the mess it starting to pile up again and my auntie and cousin are coming up soon, I need a little less junk in case they see it), watching Slings and Arrows, catching up on watching Traders, and going to the pictures to see Alien Autopsy. And possibly helping my brother move house. He's just got himself a house and I'd like to see it, but in order to do that I might have to help him shift the stuff out of his flat.

Now, gotta get ready and go, I have a driving lesson. Yay!

Try this: Put on some of your favourite music, plug in some in-ear headphones, turn the volume up full, then put the headphones in your mouth. It sounds good. Weird, that. Doesn't sound better than having it at a normal volume and them in your ears, but it's about the same. And it makes you look a bit crazy, which is always fun.

I've got a headache. Not a really bad one but it's not good either, and it's getting worse. I just don't seem to be able to shift it. Stupid orange juice. And yes, I am blaming the OJ instead of the vodka. I'm pretty sure I'm right too.

Anyway, I think I'll watch the ep of Boston Legal I taped last night, then get something to eat and watch Doctor Who. Then I'll maybe rewatch House, maybe Traders, then Shawn of the Dead is on at 10. I like it when everyone is out. I don't need to feel guilty about sitting around watching TV all day. Anyway, I shouldn't feel guilty about it. I have every right to. I've got a headache.

I feel all achy and headachey for no apparent reason. This sucks. I don't want to be ill! Specially since I can't spend the day lounging around watching Traders. Hopefully it'll go away though.

I really need to get on with writing! I'm meant to be writing Traders fic! I promised sivib I would! She wrote hers (everyone who sees this, go and read it, it's here) and I've been writing mine for... forever, I think! I just keep not being able to think of how to do it! Or else getting distracted by playing Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper and stuff. I suck! Today for example I wrote about 2 sentences! Pathetic! But on the plus side I did get an idea for another one that I will write when this one is done. But at the rate I'm going, that won't be written for another few years! Well, slight exageration! Anyway, I am so going to get it done. By... the end of the week, I think. Friday. Or Saturday. Or maybe Sunday...

I hate when I go through these phases of not being able to write, it's so frustrating! But it will get done! I promise!

Aaaagh! Stupid internet isn't working again! Karoo wants me to suffer, doesn't it? It's doing it on purpose. Only instead of refusing to work altogether, it's taunting me by letting me online to look at websites, rant in my journal etc etc, but it won't let me download anything. I'm trying to download Traders But it's refusing! It just won't connect! It's doing it just to get to me, I know it is! Damn, I wish we could get another ISP. Karoo just isn't any good. Isn't there some sort of law against companies having a monopoly?
Stupid crappy piece of crap! It's great when it works, better than some other ones, anyway, but I can't stand unreliable internet connections! If I needed another reason to move out of Hull, this is it. They make it practically impossible for you to use anyone else, and that means they can suck as badly as they want without losing customers! Hate them, hate them, hate them!

Look! Beardless Grant!

It's weird, considering how strange the beard seemed when I first started watching this, now it seems odd to see him without it! Hope it grows back!

Also...

Ayn: I'd like to die in the arms of the man I love.
Grant: Same here.

Excellent!

'Course then Ayn was dancing with Jack when the world was supposed to end. And Grant was looking for her and not Donald. But never mind ;)
*hugs poor upset-looking Grant*



I'm getting dragged out to the pictures tonight instead of watching Nothing. We're going to see Sahara. I hope it's not as pants as it looked from the advert.

I think the universe is conspiring to stop me watching Traders! Actually, no, it's just my mum. My mum is conspiring...wait, can a person conspire on their own? I don't even think she's doing it on purpose either.

I have three episodes to watch, (thank you perian!) and I can't watch them on the computer because people complain, so I write them onto a disk and watch them on the TV. But I couldn't get near the computer until about 2 this afternoon because my mum was sitting there like some immovable object, asking me to do stuff for her. So I finally get on and write the first one onto a disk, and my mum decides she wants to watch it too (I think I have turned her into a fan!), so I have to watch it then instead of doing the other disks. I couldn't even write one while we were watching because Jennie went on the computer. Then she was on for ages, then my mum went back on, so this is the first chance I've had to get online all day! But I'm taking the opportunity not only to write the other 2 eps onto disks, but to back up all the other episodes on data CDs so I can transfer them to my computer. My mum threatened to wipe the computer today. She threatens it all the time, whenever it's going a bit slowly, but sometimes she actually does it, and if I don't have everything safe, I'll lose it!

The episode of Traders I did see was so funny though, Sally managed to make an arse of herself on TV, and then Donald whacked someone on the head with a croquet stick (or whatever they are called). He's a total klutz! (worked out for the best though!)
And this guy was totally coming on to Jack, and Jack really didn't seem to mind that much. When a guy is coming on to him, most straight men don't agree to meet him for a meal (do they?)... this further encourages me to write the Grant/Donald/Jack thing that I'm not going to write.

Expect more Traders rambling tomorrow, since my mum’s not in and can’t stop me watching. I don’t think.

I'll put this in another post, since it's about something completely different. I made Traders icons! I was planning on making myself another one to replace one of mine, but them I made nine instead, and I can't decide which one to use!
(and anyone who wants one can take it)

What is it with stuff not working? I get up this morning and my mum tells me the broadband isn't working. She lets me pop on for a few seconds on her dialup, but not too long because it costs too much, and then I have to wait around until now before I can get online! I hate not being able to get online!
Still, at least it's a sunny day. I sat outside in the garden today for a bit, and I wasn't too cold! I hope it stays warm for a bit.

Anyway, now I have finally got online, I'm downloading perian's new Traders episode. So yay!
