Some things that happened in the last 24 hours-ish:

  • While going through the Apprentice tag on Tumblr, I discovered the existence of Katie Hopkins. Information I could have happily gone my whole life never discovering.


  • I also found out that Mark Wahlberg was a huge cunt and a racist. I mean I suspected after that rape joke at the Oscars. But now I know quite a lot more about him. So. There we go.


  • I watched Team Starkid's 'Holy Musical B@tman!' online, and now my favourite superhero is Superman, whaaaat?


  • We had a powercut today, so my mum had to keep up with what she assumed was the end of the women's final by listening to it on the radio, through an open car window, on our driveway, while trying to tune out the sound of a burglar alarm down the street.


  • After a few weeks of PMT symptoms and a day or two of stomach cramps, I finally got my period, yay!


  • It's hot. It's so hot that I wandered into the garage an hour ago, and realised my dad had the garage door up and the door through to the kitchen open while it was dark outside, and I hadn't even noticed. I kind of like it when days like this happen, because it feels sort of exotic. But a bit like when it snows, I also only really hope for about a day of it. And I suspect this is going to go on longer than a day. Still, now I have my period maybe my body temperature will lower slightly, and I'll be able to sleep better. Rachael: talking my body's language. Maybe. Sometimes.


  • Are videos of animals not understanding trampolines just the best ever?:



    We'll be talking to an expert.

    ETA: But you may also consider this video of two (young?) mooses (moosi?) and a cyclist trying to pass each other:



    N'awww.

Hello. Livejournal is a little tricky lately, between my going to college and looking after my nephews one and a half days of the week, as well as trying to do anything else, as well as my basic lack of energy to do anything and my general doubt about being able to express anything I want to say. But. Every now and then I get some time.

Things:

  • I am on my period. Which is kind of a relief, because I can't remember when I had my last one. I either forgot or decided not to keep a note of it in my diary for whatever reason, but it was definitely before Devon. However, at the moment my womb is mostly reminding me why I don't really like to have periods all the time. Ouch.


  • I had sort of my first dental work ever on Wednesday. Apart from the braces I had for a few months when I was in highschool. I hadn't had a dentist appointment in about two and a half years, and with my anxiety and OCD-ishness I had spent quite a bit of that time skipping brushing my teeth as often as I should (yes, I know), so I was kind of expecting the news to be bad when I got my first appointment with a new dentist here in my hometown. And it wasn't good. The dentist used the word 'destruction' a lot. And made me an appointment for some work, and it said on the form they gave me that that would be four fillings. I was kind of dreading it because I've never had a filling before, but when I got there on the day, he said he wouldn't be doing any drilling - what he meant was putting some filler on/in my affected teeth to stop them being worn away anymore and keep them from being as sensitive. Which was much better. It was all done in about an hour, and he even said to the dental nurse(?) while I was there - in between saying 'you see what acid can do to teeth? Look!' - that it was all acid damage, and I had good dental hygiene, and there was no decay. So score. I've had the stuff in for a few days now, and it makes my mouth feel a bit weird and like I can't clench my teeth properly, and have the back ones connect completely. But I can eat properly and it doesn't hurt and it's not as bad as it could have been. So hurrah!


  • Fiver are showing old episodes of Two Guys And A Girl on afternoons, the last couple of seasons where Ashley was in them, but they are showing the same ones on repeat for a week at a time AND TAKING FOREVER to get to the ones where Pete and Ashley start to get closer then get together, OH MY GOD. Pete/Ashley was one of my big het ships when I was young, and I think one of the first that I shipped and then they actually got together onscreen. ALSO PETE/ASHLEY WAS AMAZING. I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN. FIVER!


  • I also saw some snooker today. I got up late, came downstairs and switched the TV on, and there was a Stephen Hendry/Ronnie O'Sullivan match, at (0) 0 - 0 (0). It seemed difficult to pass up. Mostly I was impressed with Stephen Hendry's eyes (AND HIS SNOOKER SKILLS, OF COURSE HIS SNOOKER SKILLS, DUDES), and the fact that Ronnie looked incredibly happy every time he missed anything. As if inside he was going 'I might LOSE to STEPHEN HENDRY!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D'. Spoilers for the result )


  • I also saw that Labour Leadership Question Time the other week where Ed Milliband publically declared his love for David Milliband, and then the rest of the panel fought over who he really meant. And when David Dimbleby had to plead with Diane Abbot to 'give him a chance', about someone else she wasn't impressed with. Mostly I decided they all seemed a bit more level-headed and serious than various papers and news articles would have me believe, and that I sort of liked all of them except David Milliband, who seemed incapable of answering a question he'd actually been asked, but especially Diane Abbot and the man with the red tie. But I also decided they were politicians doing very public political debates while vying for a position of leadership, so it was probably best to not trust what they were saying too much. With regards to my favourite I am a bit 'whatever', but it seems like it might be a bit of a mistake to have David Milliband leading them.


  • Also, [livejournal.com profile] hestia8 WROTE ME EMMERDALE FIC! NATHAN/DECLAN EMMERDALE FIC! NATHAN/DECLAN EMMERDALE FIC EXISTS BECAUSE OF [livejournal.com profile] hestia8! Almost every day since then the internet has been a LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING.


  • Also I saw The Other Guys. OH MY GOD I LOVE THE OTHER GUYS. I LOVE TERRY HOITZ. AND ALLEN GAMBLE. AND OH. It is by no means a brilliant film, and I am aware that I have slightly more of a fondness for Will Ferrell films than many people I know. BUT OH MY GOD. It is one of the few films this year that I have loved enough to want to spontaneously go see again, rather than going mostly to check something I didn't catch the first time. By which I mean, I saw it last Saturday, and then on Monday I saw it again. Although in fairness, A vague spoiler I wanted to check, and then other spoilers ) I LOVE TERRY HOITZ. AND MARK WAHLBERG. AND THE OTHER GUYS.


  • Connotations is VERY SOON, dudes! Sadly not soon enough that I have nothing else to do before then - unfortunately I have another Jobcentre appointment the Wednesday before, which do tend to be pretty undemanding, but which I often stress about anyway. But still, VERY SOON. I have a plan - my plan is to have watched at least the end of Season 3 of The Office, since I started watching it and I OWN IT, and all of Trinity, SINCE I OWN IT, before I go. We'll see how that goes. I guess.


  • Soaps - Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks )

So yes. Dental work, political thoughts (sort of), and soap news. That's basically the update you were expecting from me, wasn't it? IT'S THE ONE YOU GOT, ANYWAY.

I went to see the new Al Pacino and John Leguizamo film last night, Righteous Kill. Oh I love John Leguizamo. He talks real fast and sometimes in Spanish. He was quite beautiful in it. Al Pacino was also there being beautiful. More beautiful than Robert De Niro. But I didn't think overall it was a great film.

I also saw some trailers. Max Payne looks amazing. If a bit confusing.

If I could afford it, I would buy everything from Threadless.

If not I would buy everything I could afford from Lucy Art.

If not, I would buy everything I could afford from Shanalogic.

If not, I would buy a sculpture from Walter Awlson. Specifically, the one on page 7 called Lauren. Or the Fallen Angel one. Or Emma. Whatevs.

But I can't, really.

Today I went to my landlords about the bills for the 'flat above' the shop next to me, which keep getting passed back through to us. Hopefully, they're actually going to get sorted out at some point.
