Work and things

Hello! My posting has been a bit sporadic lately. I started my new job, and seem to have no time in the evenings anymore.

So yes, I started my new job. I am working at a company just down the road, checking data as it is purchased from the electoral roll and uploaded to the computers. Mostly it is a bit boring, but we've all picked up the commands and rules pretty quickly (well, most of them). And it's only for a few weeks. And we get to listen to music through the day. So it's all fine. We're getting quality checked on our practice checking now, so it may turn out we're DOING IT COMPLETELY WRONG, or SOME OF US ARE, but so far it all seems to be going alright. Which is nice. I'm going to get paid on Friday. Which is also nice

Mostly I am confused by the fact the internet isn't AWASH WITH REACTIONS TO CASUALTY since Toby slept with a man. The whole internet. Slash fans unite? Also bewildered and dismayed that BBC are probably not going to bring out a dvd of this series and the last series of Casualty, like tomorrow. I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT ALSO. Oh Toby. I love you so. Your mum should come back occasionally and wear a beautiful coat and look at you.

Tonight I got to watch Vince Vaughn and John Simm, all in one evening, which was quite win. Also Andrea Riseborough. Doing way more than she got to do in Being Human. She's quite great.

In other news, I didn't remember until about 10 o'clock last night that it was Heroes day, so I haven't actually watched it yet. And I haven't been reading the Twilight books. I saw them and thought "oh, usual vampire novel" - actually I thought "Oh, pretty cover!", but after that - and I read a little bit of them and wasn't impressed. But it seems a bit like I have been missing out. I'm fairly tempted to go see the movie. I was anyway, just to see what it's all about. But more so.

I have to go Christmas shopping, also. Pretty soon, really.

I just meant the usual "teenage girl comes to town, meets a handsome mysterious stranger, WHAT COULD HIS SECRET BE???" type of thing. I don't think they'll be any good - my opinion since reading a snippet in the bookshop hasn't changed, particularly given what I've heard pretty much everyone I know say about them - but I feel like I could enjoy some sparkling. And Outrageous Flavour - that type of writing has it's own weird charm, for me. It sounds like it could still be a fairly painful experience though.

Oh, dude! Toby slept with a man. That's brilliant. Fandom is crap.

We went canon, baby. It was great. And you know all those times I said Toby was totally in love with Jordan? It turns out he actually was. Casualty is sort of winning a bit at the moment. Fandom is doing less well.
