girlofpreySo. We've been having some problems in our house with the internet for the past few months. My dad has a wireless modem which he uses in his office, and I can get internet from in my room upstairs on my laptop. But every now and then my internet wouldn't connect and I'd have to come downstairs, or sit on the stairs and do it, and sometimes it wouldn't pick up a connection until I left my laptop in my dad's office, near the router, for 15 or 20 minutes. And sometimes my dad's computer couldn't get the internet either, for a hour or so, and a few weeks ago my dad was changing some lights/light fittings and he had to turn all the fuses off in the house for half an hour or so, and then the next day he had to do it again, and every time he did the router would stop working for about 5 or 6 hours, I think. So he decided to try to solve the problem and get a new router. Which is installed, and working fine, and he's getting the internet on his computer, and on his laptop, but for some reason my laptop is not picking it up. He thinks it might be something to do with my laptop only picking up G-something, and the new router is transmitting N-something. And maybe we can do something so that it picks up N-something as well, but we don't know yet - my laptop is about 7 years old at this point. But basically at the moment, I can only go on the internet in his office. Which, when he's in the house, he's not always happy about. So basically, my internet access is a bit restricted at the moment, and I may not be around as much as I have been. Which in terms of how much I've been posting and commenting will probably not seem very different. But in terms of how much I've been on and reading, will be VERY DIFFERENT. :(
Anyway. So many things to say. I saw Casualty over the weekend. I know that Lenny is a jerk, and says really inappropriate things, and has done some pretty terrible things in his time, but frankly I find Yuki's behaviour a lot more worrying and disturbing than Lenny's. I mean, May betrayed him and looked set to ruin his career, which was terrible, but he responded by running away from home, living on the streets, and not even telling his parents that anything was wrong. Which was a bit weird. Lenny sort of roped him into doing illegal things, and then also seemed to leave him to possibly get into trouble like May did, but partly for the sake of possibly unmasking a cover-up that had killed people, which was at least a better reason than May had. And Yuki responded by stabbing a syringe into the wall next to Lenny's head. Then the finale, and the finale was so complicated with so much information thrown in all at once, and Yuki found out Lenny had seemingly screwed him over - again to do with the thing he got him involved in breaking and entering for - to make sure he got a job they were both going for, and he punched him and then went on to say 'You don't deserve anything. You don't deserve anyone. That's why everyone leaves you'. Really quite calmly. And I really don't think it's ever okay to say that to someone whose parents abandoned them when they were 8, when you know about that, which I think Yuki does. And yeah, he was upset, but I can't remember if I heard him apologise about it later. And then on Saturday - yes, Adam was being a dick and put Yuki in charge of a whole ward when he's still a fairly new doctor and doesn't really connect with people very well. But Yuki was basically doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing, and not supervising his patients, which he was, and Jordan yelled at him and sent him home (GREAT RESPONSE TO A WARD BEING POORLY MANAGED AND PEOPLE NOT REALLY COPING WITH THEIR WORKLOAD JORDAN. GREAT), and he responded by deliberately messing up files and throwing them on the floor, and pushing into people who really hadn't done anything to him or even knew what he'd been through. Dude.
I'm not saying Yuki didn't have a right to upset in those situations, really really upset. But the way he deals with it is kind of inappropriate and nuts. Noticeably inappropriate and nuts. I just hope they're actually going to acknowledge it, and maybe do a storyline about how him being so not confident and reserved is leading to him dealing with it really badly, and his behaviour not really being okay, and trying to get him to work through it and resolve it somehow. I'm assuming they are, since they bothered to put that scene in on Saturday, in a way that we as viewers couldn't really ignore. Because I don't think they can just let it lie at this point, as though it is okay. And frankly, it would be nice to see him get more characterisation than just 'shy' and 'often screwed over'.
And I have to go now and watch Hollyoaks. OH HOLLYOAKS. It's still as kind of shit as ever, but at the moment Ste is busy not approving of any of Brendan's criminal activities, but apparently pretending to be him when he thinks no-one's looking. And Brendan is treating Ste like a son, and a hooker, rolled into one. IT'S A BIT BRILLIANT.
