Robin Hood 1.09
Dec. 2nd, 2006 08:46 pm( Robin Hood 1.09. And 1.08 )
On Wednesday night I went round to a friend's to watch films (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - I forgot that Harry gets completely wasted on painkillers), and on Thursday night the router broke. And stayed broken last night. And now I'm willing to bet no-one's around, and I'll have to go back to playing with my CV. Damn it.

calapine sent me Babylon 5 videos. She is win. I am quite looking forward to watching them at...some point. But maybe not anytime soon. I dance her anyway, though. John Barrowman is on Never Mind the Buzzcocks tonight, by the way, in case you didn't know.I need to get a move on with writing/editing my CV, and y'know, sending it to places, but mostly haven't been doing that. I will though. Editing short, pithy statements about my "skills" may not be much motivation for getting through a day of filing, but moving out and going back to Nottingham DEFINITELY IS. I hope I will have the internet in the place I'll presumably be moving into. It's a slight constant worry to me that I sort of won't.
Also a TV. Life on Mars series 2 will be starting around January, I think.
I have quite a lot to do, really. Christmas shopping. Writing my Yuletide fic. Looking at jobs/flats. K is coming with me to the Green Wing convention, so at least that's sorted. Apparently I need to send off a form now telling the SLC how I'll be paying my Student Loan back. Which is slightly worrying. I thought they just sort of took it when you were earning enough. I now need to say whether I'll be employed or unemployed over the next 12 months. I don't think 'um' is going to cover it.
Mostly I'm in love with Guy of Gisbourne at the moment. As far as I can tell, it was caused by a dream I had about him in which I basically just wanted to rescue and hug him. It's quite pleasant, but often distracting. We'll pretend I totally didn't just buy the first DVD for the sake of being able to watch him on a regular basis. Other than on TV. Yes. Apparently this week the outlaws will regret crossing him after uncovering 'a terrible secret'.

Nov. 20th, 2006 08:37 pmI just watched this week's Robin Hood. ( Thoughts )
Anyway. I went to Nottingham! It was a bit odd, because K and J had double-booked a lot of things for the same days I was there - because we arranged it a while ago, and because they couldn't do the other things any other time - so it was all a bit frantic. K was running an art workshop for kids, then for grown-ups, on Saturday, from 10 till 4, and she had to prepare for it for most of Friday. I helped out, and it was interesting, but it made spending time together a bit stressful. Also I hurt my arm muscles carrying materials around afterwards. Ouch. And J's parents came down to bring them some furniture, so he spent all Saturday and Sunday with them. And on Sunday K and I both slept in, and I had to get the train back at four or five o'clock. But it was interesting, and we got to see the play (a bit full on visually and extreme), and talk sometimes, so it was fine. I don't know. K seemed as stressed as she used to be at uni, but I'm telling myself it's because she was busy and feeling guilty about me rather than that's how she is all the time. Their flat's nice. And right in the centre of town, pretty much. I burn with jealousy. Sort of. Nottingham's still a bit of a rough area late at night.
I went to see the career's guy, and told him I wanted to get a regular 9-to-5 job, get a flat, and start getting some experience in the Arts, maybe working at a cinema or theatre. Sadly, he told me I basically needed to get a 9-to-5 job, get a flat, and start getting some work/volunteering in the Arts. He did suggest trying Michael Wisher though, and gave me some notes about writing an effective CV, so that was quite useful. I'm not mad about getting to waitress, but it would be regular and flexible, it'd mean helping out with arty/cultural events and developing practical skills, and it would involve travelling for free. All of which are good qualities. So it seems like it might be a bit of a winner, that Michael Wisher. And it's a new option, at least.
Also I saw James Bond. He is omg pretty. But a bit disappointing - though I haven't decided if that's the "perfect" character or the slightly anti-climactic plot. The titles did make me laugh though. Oh how I laughed.
That's it, really. My whole flist seems to have gone very quiet. I hope everyone's okay. Hoping everyone's coping with nano might be a more rational thought, on reflection.
