Some other things that have happened in my life:

I made it to Holmfirth for the art market on Sunday. Despite it taking two hours to get there, getting up late, and missing the next bus after I did get up. On the way, I discovered exactly how beautiful some of the rural towns only a few hours busride from my house could be. The main ones being West Clayton and Denby Dale. It's hard to describe, they were just full of weird little cottages and churches and things that obviously used to be churches but weren't anymore. They were sort of creepy and beautiful at the same time. It was a really nice busride. Then I got to Holmfirth, which was also beautiful. It's an old mill town, and they've got a slightly exaggerated idea of what a river is, but it's a really beautiful place all the same. The art market was also lovely, and I manfully bought hardly anything. Unfortunately, the jewelley maker I'd been meant to be picking my necklace up from had forgotten it, which was disappointing, but I know her quite well and she was really nice about it, and she's promising me a big discount when I finally do get it, so I'm not too upset. But it was a really nice day out either way. I had lunch in a tearoom, decorated with little teapots. It was wicked.

I may have made a huge mistake in, having finished the main questline of Oblivion, installing and starting the two expansion packs included in the Fifth Anniversary Edition at the same time. The problem is that one comes before the other, it doesn't have to but technically, you know, but I like the second one better. So I'm just playing both! And not really focusing properly on either! And it sort of gives me a headache! But maybe it's better than just playing one until it's used up and then using up the other, I don't know. Probably I should still just pick one and stick with it.

Yesterday I managed to make it to my jewellery course, go most of the way to make my first 'piece' (a very, very small house with windows on that might be going to be a brooch or pin), then get to Wakefield for my counselling, and in between I got a call offering me an interview for the job I applied for. Considering that I started my period on Monday and didn't know if I was going to be able to stand up yesterday, it turned out to be a very good day :D

Death Valley turned out to not have done the horrible thing I thought it might do, hurrah! And it did something else that pleased me. So hurrah again!

Also, adverts. During the time when I wasn't posting, I discovered what was probably my least favourite advert in the whole world. It's had a lot of competition over the years, but it's definitely, definitely the McDonalds 'On The Street Where You Live' advert. It's just such a perfect combination of trying to be something it isn't, hideous, and nothing, that I really can't believe it. Shortly after I made this decision, I didn't see it as much, and thought they'd pulled it. But no. It's still on. It's horrific.

Also, on a similar note but much better note, Charlie Brooker and We Love Hollyoaks have pointed out the Sevenesque-ness of the new John Lewis christmas advert. And now I can't unsee it.

Someone I don't know is following me on Twitter. I forgot about that aspect of the whole social networking thing. Ugh. It's fine I'm sure. They haven't talked to me yet. I just cannot imagine what they have joined up for, looking at my tweets page. But they did. Fine.

That is all the news I can think of right now.

Hello. It's me again. It has occured to me that this is probably the first time since I've had a Livejournal or been in fandom that I've had a new Elder Scrolls game, so you probably wouldn't have known what it's like (if indeed you care). This is what it's like, basically. I play them and don't do much else, except truly necessary stuff (maybe).

Things I haven't been watching, especially, since I started playing Oblivion:

Emmerdale or Coronation Street, except when they were on when I was downstairs eating my tea. Although this is also partly because I've not been terribly interested in much that they're doing lately.

Spy, despite waiting for it to start since about three or four months ago.

Misfits.

I have been watching some things though. And they are:

Death Valley. ( Huge spoilers up to 1.10, some for 1.11 too )

Once Upon A Time. ( Spoilers up to 1.03 )

Grimm. ( Spoilers up to 1.02 )

I have caught up on all of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that has been aired so far. I quite like it. I like Rainbow Dash the best. Twilight Sparkle kind of freaks me out with her slave-having, mind-controlling ways sometimes. But mostly I like it. But I don't really have anything to say about it. But it is lovely.

I also haven't been to see many films lately, and now a bunch of the ones I did sort of want to see have gone out of the cinema. But the ones I have seen in the past few weeks are:

The Adventures Of Tin-Tin. ( Spoilers )

Tower Heist. ( Some spoilers )

In real life, some other things have happened. There was Halloween, and then my dad's birthday and Bonfire Night. We went out for a meal at a restaurant/pub and then went out to the bonfire they were having. I had to spend time with my sister, but I mostly ignored her and it was pretty okay. I filled in an application for a job with the help of my employment coach, and sent it off. I haven't heard back from them, but apparently it had a really late ending date, so I might still hear back from them, who knows. I started counselling, and it went fine, but it got cancelled this week, so I've only had one session so far. And this weekend I'm planning on going to an art market to pick up a necklace that's been made for me.

And Halloween and Bonfire Night are over, and it is currently the period I count as "Christmas". And my mum dropped the bombshell about a week ago that my sister, who's due to give birth in a few weeks, will probably have to stay with the baby in the hospital for five days after it's born, and with Christmas coming her partner can't afford to take time off work, so we will probably be having both my nephews living with us for those five days. Which I'm not exactly looking forward to. But I'm sure it will all be fine. Probably. And that is basically everything that's happened in my life lately.
