Tonight on Emmerdale the Kings continued to be prattish. People don't seem to understand that this is actually very good, because it's terrible and dysfunctional, and ultimately means they're the only people who can put up with each other. And then there's gay incest. People might think Matt's being cruel in constantly undermining Carl's relationship with Chastity, but clearly he's deciding that if he can't have an I'm-pretending-to-be-straight girlfriend, Carl certainly can't. Tom King hopes Carl will let go of Chas and "finally realise where his priorities lie". Matt offered to "keep an eye on him", like he hasn't been waiting for an excuse since forever, and smiled all satisfiedly at the end of the scene, clearly just thinking about it. Tom would be so happy if they just started having sex, and stopped bringing women into everything. Also Carl wandered out to a stone gazebo in the overcast, damp grounds to mope about Chastity, and it was great. And at the end of the episode, Carl had to walk straight past Matt and bang him on the shoulder, to go after Chas. Omg.

I do still have fandoms other than Emmerdale, but that's the one that's supplying me with fresh canon, like, every day.

I keep trying to think about useful things and getting distracted by the French version of 'Paint It Black' they play over Jean Girard's winning streak. People should sing in French more. I love Jean Girard. I LOVE HIM.

Oh, I have a shiny new phone but no new phone number.

Aaand my family is rubbish and I wish they'd sort of go away. Except not in that way cheap horror movie/Twilight Zone style shows always take advantage of, so you descend into a nightmarish hell. We fed Jack a Twister ice-cream till he fell asleep today, but he kept waking up to take another bite. Now I'm going to watch Deadwood. Like I've been intending to ALL WEEKEND.

Re this Connotations post, you might have noticed I'm not modding the Multi-fannishness panel. After all that. Essentially, I decided that while I was having ideas and feeling pretty good about it now, closer to the time I'd probably get anxious and freak out slightly. And that I'd maybe like to do without it, and just go. I still maintain that Nerdcakes did most of the talking last time. Anyway, no modding. Unless they can't find anyone else to do it and ask me again, in which case I'll probably do it out of guilt at bringing it's curse on them in the first place.

Also - we'll be discussing "the future of Connotations"? Zomg.

Today we took Jack to the local farmshop. I was assaulted by an aubergine. Seriously, I went to pick it up, and it stabbed me with tiny spines! You know, all those TINY DEFENSIVE SPINES NO-ONE EVER TOLD YOU AUBERGINES HAVE? And we bought honey with honeycomb in it. And saw some sheeps! And a pony! And calves! And a flock of hens that followed us around a bit terrifyingly! The only problem with it, as I pointed out, is that you're never sure if you're buying something you were petting the week before. But if you can close your eyes to the "slaughterhouse" side of it, it's really a lovely place, with lovely food. I might be sticking to honey for a while though.

Tonight I went for pizza and to see Talladega Nights again. I have decided that Jean Girard might not be the suave, pissy, Tybalt-esque driver of my dreams, but he's still Deeply Awesome all the same. And he Spoilers ). Also; I have got to get my hands on that soundtrack.

Our TV is a bit broken. The screen has gone blue, so everything is a bit like watching The Smurfs. Dad is quite irate, but I'm sort of enjoying it, at least until I realise I'm halfway to tripping watching Futurama. Possibly I'll be less pleased when Emmerdale comes on and Carl's all strange and blue. I've still got my TV upstairs, though.

I've been feeling much better lately. I was unreasonably annoyed this afternoon, when taking the security tag of an Urban Decay lip gloss, so I could stop making things beep, ripped the box. It's a slightly pathetic thing to be annoyed about, I know. But it was a nice box. It was purple, with shiny knife patterns on it. But other than that I've pretty much been on the upswing.

Things that apparently make me feel better:

  • CRAZY weather! Apart from, um, the damage the tornadoes did to people's homes and stuff. Suddenly Global Warming isn't looking like the hilarious jape we always thought it would be.


  • The compilation CD my dad made for me. Of which I may be uploading the best later on, so you can all share the goodness too. And make me songvids with them. Except for those of you who don't have a computer to yourselves at the moment.


  • Laputa action figures on ebay! The flying robots! And if that doesn't make you want to see the film, nothing will.


  • Spinny clock!
Also, I just bought what appears to be a Laputa DVD with the original 1988 English dub. Win :)

Mum and I went to the cinema last night. For we are rebels. And saw Talladega Nights )

I'm slightly worn out now. Must stop writing more than I intend to. Anyway. There was also a Ben & Jerry's vending machine in Xscape. Will wonders never cease?
