I LOVE NSTF: SD: SUV::. It's not brilliant, but I do kind of love it. Two episodes ago they had ( guest actor spoiler ) on the show. In the last episode, they had ( guest actor spoiler )! Trent Hauser gets the best enemies. No lie.

Anyway. I have only recently returned from Leeds, where I spent £30 on jewellery today. Which I don't really regret. But I am going to have to start saving up shortly, because it's Connotations in about a month. For which I will need £150, if memory serves me correctly. Plus train fare. Plus money for drinks. Yes. So yes. I'm planning for today to be my last spending blow-out for a little while.

But I'm quite happy today anyway, because last night I was checking the requirements for the upcoming Elder Scrolls game Skyrim, and I was on the same site I was on a few months ago, which told me again that my graphics system probably wouldn't be good enough to support the game, although everything else was fine. But then I went on another site, which was basically answering people's specific questions about whether or not their computers would run the game, and they said my graphics system WOULD be good enough for it! It's all just speculation of course, until the game comes out (in November), but it's closer to the release, and that's more hopeful at least. I probably wouldn't be worrying so much, but it's an Elder Scrolls game, which I've been playing since highschool probably, so I am excited. And the nice thing is that even if the PC version won't work on my laptop, I can always now get the PS3 version - but for me the Elder Scrolls games will always be PC games more than anything. I don't know, maybe they're much better on the PS3 and Xbox. But on the PC is how I'm used to playing them, and how I would like to play the new one, so if it will work on my laptop, that would make me very happy. Hurrah.

Also, last night I watched the end of Hollyoaks Later, and I love Seth more than ever now, and have a lot more love for Warren (the nutcase that set him up), and I love Mitzeee, as usual. And I also watched Totally Tom, which is a pilot for a new sketch show on E4. It's a bit dark, but I thought it was quite funny as well. I hope it gets a series. Although I haven't watched many other new comedy programmes lately, so I have no idea how it compares to other stuff that's out there.

Also, I completely missed the first rugby match of my team in the world cup yesterday, due to completely forgetting it was on until sometime late in the evening. I hear that we lost though. Bugger.

So, the busy-ish part of my week is over. I went to the advice and guidance session at the school thing in Leeds, but it turns out it's funded by Leeds City Council, so you really need a Leeds postal address to go to the classes, and I have a Wakefield one. I asked the lady who was running the session, and she said some Wakefield addresses are technically Leeds - I don't know. It turned out mine wasn't, but she said it shouldn't be a problem. But anyway, the outcome is that I could only put my name down on the waiting list, not sign up. It's only if the class doesn't fill up and there aren't too many people on the waiting list that I can go, and I didn't have to pay which is nothing, but I probably won't know for definite until the class starts in October. Or before a class starts in another semester, I guess. I hope I get to go, because it did seem quite nice there, and some of the prices are ridiculously cheap. But I'll have to wait and see.

And then yesterday I went to the dentist. It turned out I have a new dentist, my old one has either left or changed his cases, so I had to fill out my medical/lifestyle history again. The new dentist was nice though, although she expressed concern that drinking three cans of coke a week was 'a lot'. I told her I had some problems with my enamel, but she had a look and said it wasn't a problem, it was just a bit worn. My two front teeth - which sort of get hit with coke a lot nowadays, since I'm trying to take small sips and not soak my mouth in it - have been aching a bit recently, and she did touch them and say something about 'cracks in the enamel'. But she just recommended some things, fluoride mouthwash, flossing, not drinking so many fizzy drinks, and changing the heads on my toothbrush regularly. So I'm going to try to cut down on my coke-drinking again. But other than that she said I was fine, and she even said she'd see me again in six months, and then if there were no problems we could probably just set my appointments yearly, which is nice. So yay. And then I went into town to buy my sister a birthday card. I took me a little while to find one that wasn't either blank, didn't have one of those jokes inside one sister being better than the other, and didn't have any stuff in it about sisters being like best friends. Which felt a little mean to be honest, but also felt like stuff that was a bit too obviously not true about our relationship at the moment to buy a card about. But anyway, I finally found one. Which means that everything I was planning to do for my sister's birthday is also done. Hurrah.

In the meantime, I have finished all of 666theheartless666's youtube Let's Plays of the Fatal Frame series. Which was both hilarious, and left me really quite impressed with the Fatal Frame series. I have no idea what it would be like for me to play them, but just as games they manage to be both really really scary and really really sad and touching, usually, by the time you find out what's been going on with the ghosts or get to the end. Between that and listening to more of the songs I don't normally listen to from The Decemberists' Hazards Of Love album, I'm sort of in a tragic love story type of a place. Except that I really need to listen to The Hazards Of Love all the way through and in order, at some point, because I still don't really know the full story. I get the picture of most of it though, and the songs are really really lovely.

TV-watching wise, I have been watching Hollyoaks Later. There's a character in Hollyoaks that I love called Seth, who is a teenager and looks like this:

(from emmerdale.me.uk)

He is 16 in the show, and 17 in real life, and mostly I just find him adorable, and also I've decided I don't really care. Anyway, he's one of those sweet sort of characters that's in a slightly messed up family, knows about it, but sort of just has to put up with it. And in Hollyoaks Later this year he seems to have been hooked up with a stripper, taken some drugs, slept with her, and then killed her. I'm pretty sure it's all just a set-up and he hasn't actually killed her, but it makes pretty interesting viewing nonetheless. Also, there's another character called Mitzeee who I kind of love, and I'm pretty sure we got to see her naked. Which is also a plus.

I am also watching the other soaps, pretty much, but they're all a little bit boring just at the moment. I really don't care about Leanne on Coronation Street. I just sort of don't. And yet we must watch her. And Eva. Becky has been in it though, <3 <3 <3. The only storyline I'm really interested in this week is Emmerdale's ongoing Amy pregnancy storyline, and that's often about as difficult as it is lovely. Also, watching Declan in Emmerdale and thinking about Nathan. But that's pretty par for the course.

Also, I have been watching some downloaded shows, for once, but only really funny, slightly nothing-y ones. In some ways they're easier to get into and watch than the really heavy, plot-driven ones. I have been watching NTSF: SD: SUV, which is sort of an American crime procedural parody show, and has Janeway in it, as well as Mystique from the X-Men films and I had thought Adam Scott from Parks and Recreation, but it turned out to be some other dark-haired, dark-eyed guy. It is actually pretty funny, and Janeway is probably the best thing in it, so I am planning on keeping on watching it. And I watched the first episode of Death Valley last week, and have just downloaded the second episode yesterday. That is also quite funny. Hurrah.

And I think that is all my news. Aside from some generic rants, and Things I Have Bought Recently. But I think those can wait for another time. Oh, and I have a team in a sweetstake for the Rugby World Cup! My team is Tonga. And I love Tonga. GO TONGA.

Here's what's been happening in my life:

I watched Sleepy Hollow again. It is kind of rubbish, but Johnny Depp is very good.

I went to see X-Men: First Class again. It is still kind of rubbish.

I went to Santander! (I know it doesn't have any punctuation in it, but that's just how I want to say the word whenever I think of it) to try to get my banking details sorted out so I can pay mum back for the expensive necklace I bought in Prague. Also so I have access to my banking details. While I was there I checked my balance and turned out to have slightly more money than I thought I did. Hurrah!

The Riverside Festival in Nottingham is happening in about a month, and despite having a bit more money than I thought I did, I am still uncertain about whether I'm going. K and I talked about going together when I was in London in February, but I haven't heard from her since. And it feels a bit odd to contact her about it when I don't actually know if I can afford to go. Hmph.

I've started my appeal process. I finally got the form filled in over the weekend, went in to the Jobcentre on Monday to check I was doing it right, got some slightly confusing advice (the man told me to call and notify the office on the letter, and when I called they weren't bothered about that). But I sent it off that day, and got a call today saying the appeal process was in the works, and in the meantime they'd be paying me. Now I just need to get a doctor's note again though. Hmph.

I watched Coronation Street tonight, and David has weird hair again and made a joke about his wife doing things to him that 'weren't consensual'. I love him. He didn't become INCANDENSCENT like the Sky programme description promised he would, but still.

I've been sending a few 38 degrees emails to my local MP, Yvette Cooper, and now she's emailing ME asking me to fill in questionnaires and petitions. Booooo.

I discovered a new webcomic to follow, Band Vs Band. It's got some quite lovely art, and a lot of slash. And how. Honey/Turpentine forever.

I finished Folklore, a game I have been playing for a few months! And a thing I thought was going to happen sort of happened, but not really in the way I was expecting it. It was pretty sad though. Also I ended up sort of shipping Ellen/Keats. Who knew?

I think that's about it. Mostly my life in the last week has involved appointments, form filling in, and checking the X-Men kink memes. A prompt of mine got filled! That was pretty nice. It wasn't for a pairing, but still. It's still only vaguely alleviating the kink meme experience for me though. And finding other anonymous Charles/Shaw fans. I still keep checking though. No-one is less proud of me for doing this than me.

Also, I found some old/newer episodes of Will and Grace on some channel on Sky somewhere. Oh Karen! And Will a bit. And Jack sort of. And whenever Karen and Will get to have scenes together. And y'know, Grace. It's kind of weird seeing some of the jokes they used to do on there, but kind of lovely all the same. Oh Karen! That's mostly my reaction.

Also I love Mitzeee and Brendan Brady and Jacqui from Hollyoaks. And Carmel is pretty this week! That is all.

I spent most of the rest of yesterday putting some music on my new mp3 player. And frankly, it's good that I set aside a day for it, because it took me about that long to even put a bunch of music I wanted on my computer, never mind on the player. I forgot how long it takes to rip things, sometimes. Well, technically it took me up until Coronation Street was on anyway, and I went down for the soaps/Case Histories/Psychoville portion of the night.

I had a hard time believing all the CDs I wanted to rip would even fit on my computer, never mind on my MP3 player. But they totally did. Except that my computer seems to have a weird aversion to playing Tori Amos CDs, or even recognising them as discs. I don't know what it is. A while ago I tried to rip my Tales of A Librarian CD, and it wouldn't play it, so I just figured there was something wrong with the disc. But yesterday I decided to try it again, and it still wouldn't have it, and then I decided to rip some of the songs I wanted from a few other Tori Amos albums I've got but haven't listened to all the way through yet, and it wouldn't have them either. But I tried ripping my old Scarlet's Walk CD that I've had for a few years, and that went fine. I don't know. It has a very specific aversion to some Tori Amos, it seems.

Anyway, my MP3 player conundrums continued when I spent quite a while putting a load of music from my Windows Media Player to sync to the player, it was easily about half an hour, maybe up to an hour. Then I unplugged the player and went to look what music was on it, and could only find the MP3 files I'd copied over from my downloads files. And THEN I realised that putting the songs from my Windows Media Player TO sync only meant putting them in a list, and I had to press another button to actually sync them and copy them over. So I had to do that all again. I was hoping to be finished with it before midnight, but it took me a bit over that, in the end.

And THEN I finally had my music on my MP3 player, and all I had to do was figure out how to use it. Which was not the easiest thing in the world. The tiny, one-page instruction guide turned out to be some help, with this, but in the end, only the fact that it said so on the back of the MP3 player box kept me believing that there WAS indeed a shuffle function, and a volume control. Eventually I found them. And now I have a working MP3 player! And since turning the shake function off, I have an MP3 player that doesn't skip songs when I move it the wrong way! All I need now is a case thing for it so it doesn't get scratched, and I am golden.

The main problem I have with it at the moment is that the battery apparently only last for up to 5.5 hours, I'm pretty sure my previous MP3 players lasted longer than that. But I can probably deal with it. And it's probably better for me to not use it all the time anyway.

Also I watched a bunch of programmes last night. The round up:

On Hollyoaks Mitzeee wore an amazing white toga-style dress, and literally everyone tore her to shreds when they saw her, instead of falling to their knees due to her obvious superiority.

On Coronation Street, ( Tiny spoiler for last night )
.

I watched Case Histories, it was very good, I quite like Jackson Brody.

And we had the Psychoville finale. ( Spoilers )

Other things I have been doing in my life, apart from watching Emmerdale:

Watching Coronation Street. The thing I love most about David's current court case/possible epilepsy storyline - aside from watching David freak out and worry and pass out occasionally - is that he's having massive friction with his mum over it, he's bonding with his gran because she's on his side and believed him all the way through, and his mum and gran are having massive friction over it...and his brother Nick, who lives on the street, is nowhere to be seen. I don't think I've seen David have a single scene with him since it all started. At one point someone asked Nick how David was, before they found out it might be epilepsy, and he said David was in bits over it all. That was it. He doesn't seem to care if his brother tried to kill his best friend, if his brother was about to get charged and possibly sent down for attempted murder, or if his brother has epilepsy or possibly something worse, like a brain tumour. It's kind of amazing.

( This paragraph is about Maria and a bit of Tony/Maria )

It's Halloween tomorrow, and it's seeming more and more likely that Coronation Street aren't going to make me that 'Ghosts of dead characters haunting people on the street' episode I wanted. Sigh.

I have been watching Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Later, and I didn't really want to watch Hollyoaks Later because I don't even love Hollyoaks that much and it sounded like it was going to be all about footballers and possibly have a gang rape in it. But then it turned out that Mitzeee, who is a character I've heard good things about and quite liked when she was onscreen and hasn't been onscreen much lately, was going to be in it, so I tried to watch it when I could. Happily, there wasn't a gang rape, and especially since Mitzeee seemed slightly in danger of being involved, she wasn't gang raped. But oh my God, dudes. She's - so beautiful, I'm actually finding it hard to look at her sometimes. Not in the way I used to be with Michael Bluth, where I actually had to look away from the screen, but where I find myself focusing on just one part of her face, like her hair or her eyes or her teeth. She has AMAZING teeth. And I don't even care about teeth. This is her:

Isn't she amazing? And she has a beautiful accent. And, unless I'm massively lowering my standards because I'm watching Hollyoaks, she can act. I think I'm a little bit in love with her. Oh my god.

I have been to two Halloween parties in the last two days, with my nephews. They put on some quite nice dos for Halloween in my home town, and the kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. So hurrah.

I'm kind of irritated with my dad at the moment, because he shut the car door on my back while I was trying to strap my oldest nephew into his seat tonight. After, I thought, huffing about having to take my youngest nephew over to the side of the car where his seat was, rather than just putting him in the back and leaving him there. And then he didn't even bother to strap him in. But I'm sure that irritation will pass. Ow.

I saw the film RED/R.E.D. ( Spoilers, some pretty big )

Other things probably, but I have to go and watch Casualty now.
