New Who! )

In other news, Black and White 2 is a hideous bitch and I hate it. First it complains that there is not enough space on my hard drive to support its MASSIVE weight, then when I delete things (things I use! Things I love!), it takes up so much space I can't install the other game. And then it takes about five hours to get started, and FREEZES UP before I even manage to start a new game! Three times! Forcing me to crash my computer, three times! You better believe I uninstalled it. Back to the shop for IT! The Movies, on the other hand, is working perfectly, and I love it. Hopefully it will one day let me write slashy films. Then I will love it even more.

In other other news: £15 WH Smith voucher from sister. £100 cash from grandma. Sorted :)

Merry Christmas! :D

Hope you all got what you wanted, and are having a great, lazy day. I got a card from [livejournal.com profile] tiniago, and I love her. I sadly do not have my Draco and the Malfoys CD yet, but omg, gifts! I think my parents got me pretty much everything from my 'Suggestions' list, except for the part where I suggested 'any series of Futurama', and they got me the Ultimate Collection! Every series! Every DVD! Am love on them! And also League of Gentlemen (Reece Shearsmith!). The Forsyte Saga (Damien Lewis!). Baudelaire and Joyce (I'll never have time to read them!). Black and White 2 and The Movies! (this will never help with my essays!). Dude. I am quite contented.

I fear that after all of this, there won't be much Christmas money left over, which I was (somewhat, guiltily) more looking forward to than the presents, but...it's all good. Also, since [livejournal.com profile] jekesta sent me in the direction of the files that allow me to see DVDs other people have made for me, I've also sort of gotten all six seasons of Drop the Dead Donkey (Damien!) and the first two of Malcolm in the Middle (Francis/Spangler!). Am love on her also. And all of you!

I am currently hanging out with the family, after scanning [livejournal.com profile] yuletide sneakily for rare fandoms I love. I take advantage of other people's hard work and community spirit! Also, I watched a King Kong 'making of' special, but it didn't talk at all about Jack. Only people no-one cares about, like Carl, and Ann, and Kong.

I am not working on my essays at all today. Not that I do much work any other day, frankly - starting to freak out a bit now - but today, it is Someone Else's Problem. That person being myself in the future.

Anyway - four hours or so till new Who! Mickey, and David Tennant, on screen for a whole hour, saving the world and entertaining us all! ::counts down minutes::

And once again - Merry Christmas, kids ;)

Can't help but think I'm still not into this 'working' for your degree thing... )

But slashy plays, yay! Warning: Some 17th-century spoilers )

It is three days till Christmas. I have a present for ONE member of my family. I have at least four more to buy. However, since I am only planning to spend about a £5 on each beloved kinperson, I shouldn't have to spend to long looking for quality. I am thinking booze and perfume and chocolate. And Jack's fairly young. He won't notice if I get him a ball or something.

I am still mostly in love with Jack Driscoll. DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED that you all haven't run out and watched the film and brought me back a fandom! I want to make him tea and watch him type. I want him to try to type in the jungle, with palm leaves ocassionally batting him in the face. I want A Natural History of Skull Island. I want to make a gif icon of Carl Denham with the text from Futurama's 'Nixon inviting all the robots to the island party' speech. 'From which there will be NO ESCAPE...from the fun!'

But mostly I want Jack Driscoll. There were so many things from the movie I forgot to mention. He's not just pretty! Spoilers and some insanity )

And so man more things. He is glorious. He should have his own comm. And his own ficathons. And the odd fuq-u-thon, but done in a tasteful, sensitive way. There should be comms for lots of things. I am tempted to make comms for all my favourite subjects, because they are a piece of piss to make, and then they would at least be THERE. I am tempted to join [livejournal.com profile] escapefrom. But I have NEVER PLAYED WOE.

I found Trolli burgers again! Probably no-one will know what I mean. Anyone who does gets my undying love. They are sweets I used to eat when I was a child, and could only reliably get in Spars in Spain and Greece. They are a burger, but with five layers of gummi candy, and chock full of artifical colourings and flavourings but OMG SO GOOD. They disappeared for years. There was no mention of them on the net. But I found some in Woolworths on Monday, and they are in different packaging and called 'Gummi' not 'Trolli', but they taste the same, and if they are a subsitute are a good enough substitute for me. I stock up on them before I return to Nottingham, I think. And maybe make a comm. devoted to them. Or an icon. Yes.

I am procrastinating a bit. Can you tell?
girlofprey: (Ghosts Haunt Same House)
Home again, home again. Jiggety jig. Internet, yay! Hopefully it will not prove too distracting. Already I am hours on the internet DOING NOTHING!

I have pretty much done one of my essays. Apart from the fact that there is still one more paragraph I want to write and simply am not doing, and it is 3,700 words and counting and should only be 3,000, and I haven't done all of my footnotes yet, which are also counted in the wordcount. And I'm not sure I've actually said anything of particular use or question-answering-ness. But it is mostly done. So I have only 3 more to do now. I think I will be reading this week, and then start writing after Christmas. Yes.

Victim of credit fraud! Omg! )

My flatmates and I had House Christmas yesterday. I did not go to bed until 4am (the suicide hour! I did not commit suicide. I think I should have a badge). We had a lovely ham, and lovely gravy, and parsnips and yule log and After Eight mints. And my flatmate, who had already bought me a Bad Girls Guide calender weeks before and given it to me because I'd had a shit day, had bought me a beautiful handheld mirror from Oxfam which I'd noticed and mentioned and mourned when it was gone the next day! Am love on her! Also we played Atmosfear and I BEAT THE GATEKEEPER!!! With some cheating I think. But still. Colour me victorious :) And we played charades until long into the night/morning, and I did a very good Napoleon. It was all very good.

Things which make me happy:

  • The Philadelphia Story slash! Connor/C.K. Dexter Haven! With drunkeness and you-read-my-book! and everything it always should have been, Jimmy Stewart eeee...

  • Blackpool slash! Which made me feel like I know the characters inside-out with a mere this and brief show overview found on virgin.net. And was scaldingly hot besides. Detective Inspector Tennant, omg. I must watch Blackpool now. Must watch.

  • I am insanely jealous of all my friends who got to see Barty Crouch Jr DI Carlisle Tenth Doctor YOU KNOW WHO cook and be lovely. Omg ::hates::

  • I ordered my CD from [livejournal.com profile] draco_malfoys! :D Which an e-mail to tell me they hadn't got a billing address from Paypal told me will be sent out between today and Monday. Hopefully shipping will be Short and Sweet and I will have it before I go back to Nottingham.

  • I am reading House of Leaves. I have an icon I think is suiting. I read extracts for my Mythologies module and fell in love and am going to try to read it all this week along with my reading for two other essays so I can write my Rewriting Myth essay on it. I am not sure what this will say, but House of Leaves omg. I love it and fear it. I fear my walls. Like, all the time. The thing about House of Leaves is that it makes you fear your walls whether they shift or not. Time will tell what all this will do to my brain.

  • Internet, yay!

  • Dad took me to Pizza Hut for dinner, and the waitress got a piece of my pizza on her shirt, and went off to get me 'another slice', and I ended up taking a free pizza home! Even though it was not cooked to beautiful browness, and stone cold by the time I got it home. Still - score!

  • I went to see King Kong!


King Kong spoilers )

Sigh. There is a community. Which welcomes slash. I watch it with interest. Yes.

Hello.

I am awfully busy of late, hence not much of posting or commenting.

Possibly this will continue for a while. Like, until January 20th.

Work is too much :(

End of term this week. I want to have written an essay by this time, but doubt I will have done. Then I go home for probably just a week, I think. Like, Christmas Day, then a day or two for good measure, then return so I can concentrate the better.

I keep trying to arrange lovely things to do with my family whilst am there, like Operas and films and such, and my mother continues to be randomly working. This very annoying How dare she go to work and abandon her child omg!

I have seen Narnia. I have a crush of disturbing strength on Edmund and the boy who plays him.

I am quite desperate to go see King Kong (but have Flatmate Christmas on Friday, Mother is WORKING on Saturday, and yargh!), as am already rather in love with Jack Driscoll, aka Adrien Brody, and slashing him completely at random from clips in the trailer. Again with the disturbing strength. And when one of the male leads in the film is a gigantic ape, this can lead to down some dark and terrible roads. But if he's going to wear thick black wool coats of loveliness or alternately loose shirts and jungle t-shirts, then I REALLY HAVE NO CHOICE.

I will probably not watch Secret Smile tonight, for David Tennant. But I feel that I should watch Blackpool.

I wish it were Christmas and all of my essays were done. Yes.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In April I pushed [livejournal.com profile] chronographia in the mud (-17 points). Last Friday I donated bone marrow to [livejournal.com profile] paranoidkitten in a life-saving procedure (300 points). Last Sunday I gave [livejournal.com profile] rougir a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Last Saturday I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In November I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points).

Overall, I've been nice (285 points). For Christmas I deserve a pony!

Sincerely,
girlofprey

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:



And [livejournal.com profile] paraniodkitten NEVER thanked me! ::shakes fist::

ETA: Hell, I'm all about the life-saving bodily donations, aren't I?

ICONLOVE!

Yesterday I did lots of reading. But more importantly, I was wearing all clean clothes! Even my socks and jeans, which I'd just washed. And I'd had a shower so was in fact clean myself also. I thought it was worth reporting.

EVEN MY SOCKS omg.

Saturday night's television pleased me also. Family Guy had the dog predicting Stewie would give up his plans for World Domination at 18 when he meets 'a rough trick named Jim', and American Dad had mpreg. Teenage mpreg. Teenage ALIEN mpreg. It was all very special. And then on Rome last night a man picked up another man when he was drunk and held him and called him 'lamb'. TV is so good to me.

But down to business.It's Barty Crouch Jr time )
