You know, it would be nice if there was Psychic LJ. Because I totally compose posts throughout the day, as I'm doing stuff, and then when I finally get to the computer I've naturally forgotten what they are. Take note, services people.

Oh, Heroes. This is quite, horribly late. Thoughts on Episodes 1 and 2, having seen the rest of the season )


And a thought that has nothing to do with the rest of the season )

Tonight is more Heroes, and new [livejournal.com profile] the_sc_files. I spent most of last night doing the washing up, since I had no clean plates left, so tonight's plan is for dinner that won't create any. I did finish all the washing up though. Which gives me great hope for the rest of the tasks I need to achieve. One of which is watching the first three episodes of Supernatural S2 before watching the fourth on Friday. Hurrah.

Emmerdale was great last night. There wasn't any Carl in it, except for the fact that he and his fiancee used to go to bars where businessmen needed entertaining together, but they made up for it with Perdy. Rosemary's drugging her to make her go mad, which would be lovelier if Rosemary didn't seem to actually want her to go mad and go away so her son can marry someone who can have kids, but she still stroked her face a bit to make her calm down. Then Perdy started running the streets in her bare feet, eventually crawling on the cobblestones, and Matthew ran over to her and hugged her, because of how they slept together once. Then he sat with her while she looked a bit catatonic. OH HE IS BEAUTIFUL. He should make her an honorary King. She'd love living at the big house, and I like to think she'd get on with Carl. And they could give her gun lessons. It would be great. Mostly my plan is for everyone great to eventually live with the Kings.

A thought I was having: I was thinking about a book I read when I was young with a girl called Tuesday in it. Then about Wednesday Addams. I just started the first Thursday Next book. His Girl Friday's a bit of a stretch, but I'm willing to take it. And there's a Sunday in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Can anyone think of a Monday or a Saturday?

Things I have learned about chocolate:

  • If you give it up for a week, and settled into an agreeable life without it, do not suddenly eat as much or more as you would have before. You will feel sick.
  • Lindt chocolate truffles are indeed tasty, but so rich that if you eat more than one, you will feel sick (see above).
  • Either my Mark's and Spencer's 'mosaic' had been in the shop for a long time before last night, and went all hard and yucky, or M&S are just not so good at the Belgian-style chocolate (though the 'Swiss' is quite tasty. Yes). Also, when eating good, Belgian-style chocolate, dark is better than light. Particularly when that light is white, which should never EVER be eaten. Ever.

So no, the chocolate part of last night did not go so well. But it was still good, because I rented wonderful DVDs - Eddie Izzard and Amelie, mmm. And four for a fiver - still not sure how I managed that. Eddie Izzard-style 'spoilers' )

And then Amelie, which is colourful and lovely and sweet, yes. Very good. spoilers spoilers spoilers )

But though it was good, not a wrong note anywhere, it was not particularly life-changing, which was disappointing. It felt a little bit too much like a cartoon sometimes, and though I identified with 'does not play well with others', shy Amelie, with her boy problems, she always somehow turned around and was a machiavellian genius, which was confusing. Hmm. Still, it made me want to go see Paris. And learn how to make plum pudding. And live a prettiful, colourful life of risks, which led to my going upstairs and finally finishing the tiny, original(ish) pieces I wanted to submit to the uni creative writing magazine, which I will post here too, for perusal. Enjoy.

I have submitted them already, so don't worry about destroying my writing career with unhappiness-making (though constructive) criticism. My housemate, who is all 'poetry boy', seems to like them anyway, so...yes. Feedback at will.
