I also went to my sister's house today to decide which of the kittens I want. Despite the fact that it's less pretty than I remember it and sadly did not leap on me with joy, I think probably still the orange and black one. Because I liked it at first, so that's probably worth sticking with. It's also occured to me I'm going to have to name it. And I had one idea but no, it's so bad, and awful, and not conducive to pet-owning mental health.

DON'T LET ME CALL MY CAT FLIBBLE.

And I also watched TV. 8 Out of 10 Cats had that Asian guy from the actual news - I should learn names. He had his shirt slightly open and Was Authoritative when the others knew nothing, yet also took the mick and said 'that's the Japanese for you!', and it was quite good. And David Walliams wanted to see Jimmy Carr's knee, and then tried to convince him to let him kiss him, and Jimmy Carr's smile was SO BEAUTIFUL. And I can't believe I am fangirling and slashing a topical British quiz show, and it's not HIGNIFFY!! HOW CRUEL IS THE WORLD?!?

And Matt King was on Emmerdale, and I nearly squeed out loud to see him. Oh. Now he's all fucked up over his younger brother (did I say about their huge breakup?) and missing his estranged father, I'm apparently fangirling him like woah. Perhaps more than Carl, though Carl is still love. They have upcoming angst and I'm quite happy. Also, if there are Matt and Carl clips on the Emmerdale Interactive DVD, I may have to buy it. Yes, I really am that sad.

Well, I'm annoyed.

After checking my statement a couple of times online (iBank!) and being concerned about a couple of payments, I called my landlord and found out that yes, we had a rent payment due in the last couple of days. £880. And the reason it went back in is because of insufficient funds rather than a mistake on the landlord's part. And they don't seem inclined to pay back the £15 charge because it was a direct debit and £900 and I didn't know. Sigh. I suppose it's my own fault for not checking when they payments were, since it's a direct debit. But I remember searching for a payment schedule to see when the first one was, and could never find it, so I'm not sure I have one. And last time it was around the start of term, when my loan was paid in, which was fine, so I assumed this one would be too.

I suppose I still should have checked. It's just - frustrating, gah. And I could have used that £15. On...things. Hmph. I'll get dad to lend me the money until my loan comes through, and then get - someone - to try the payment again. And possibly call the bank again in the morning with extra explanation, and some pleading. Yes.

And now my sister and nephew are here. JOY OF JOYS. Except for the part where he's been in my room for the last 15 minutes shouting nonsense and being half-naked. That was actually quite joyful. But he's not Tired, yet...
