This is a sketch that has genuinely stuck with me ever since I first saw it:



Definitely made it, Kelly.

And this is a song that makes me feel insane, it's so good:



I'm really looking forward to my holiday tomorrow, and the house and internet all to myself. Except that I've just remembered it's also going to be filled with a lot of dog-walking and picking up dog poo. But I'll survive. The new dog is fine by the way. His name is Frank. I don't love him as much as I think I would a dog of my own, and he's a bit needy and it turns out he'll poo all over the kitchen at night if he doesn't get taken out enough times during the day - I'm going to make an effort to do that over the next week. But he's very sweet, and he's settled in pretty well with us.

Stuff:

  • Adam and Joe didn't tell me they were back this weekend. I didn't look. But they didn't TELL ME. I would be very upset if I didn't love them RATHER A LOT and wasn't VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.


  • Does anyone want to buy me a doll? Anyone at all? I think you know that secretly you do. Oh God. That's a bit amazing.


  • What are the good sites for ordering books besides Amazon? There are a few books I'd quite like to find cheaply, and I'm trying not to buy from Amazon since they went a bit rub. Although I'm not sure if the Amazon Marketplace counts. But anyway, I've got somewhere to buy CDs and DVDs, but I'm not sure where would have the range of Amazon. Any suggestions appreciated.


  • I found this while I was looking around for Silent Hill James/Pyramid Head stuff (WARNING: This clip starts off with what many players assume is, and the people who made the game might have said is, the rape of another monster creature by Pyramid Head, said monster being what is apparently two set of female-looking legs stuck together. Yes. So if you don't want to see that maybe don't play the clip, or look away for the first few seconds. After that all you have to worry about is a big demon thing, a sword and some gunshots, hurray).

    I sort of love what I know of Pyramid Head and James in canon, screwed up as it is. BUT I SORT OF LOVE THIS SCENARIO TOO. I WANT TO READ FIC ABOUT THEM LIVING TOGETHER AND JAMES GETTING FRUSTRATED EVERY TIME THE RENT NEEDS TO BE PAID AND PYRAMID HEAD NEVER WORKING AND GOING AWAY TO HIT THINGS WITH HIS SWORD EVERY TIME HE AND JAMES FIGHT AND THEM ARGUING ABOUT THINGS AND PYRAMID HEAD SAYING HE'S GOING TO LEAVE AND JAMES BARRING HIS DOOR SOMEHOW SO HE CAN'T SNEAK IN AND GET HIS STUFF AND RUN AWAY BEFORE THEY TALK, AND OH. All I want is a film or series about a guy living with a big morally-challenged demon and having domestic hijinks and angst. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK? DAMN YOU, HOLLYWOOD.


  • I went down to a local gallery yesterday to ask about some metal sculptures in the window. I have some money, and they were quite small and lovely, so I thought maybe I could afford one before I have no money again. So I asked the guy at the counter how much they were, since they had no price on them. The amount he told me? £342. It turns out that solid lumps of bronze, especially those that have been specially sculpted, are very very expensive. So there goes that plan.

    I know that I should be saving money to spend on bills and food and stuff. It's just that I'm probably not going to.


  • A ton of bands I like are playing this autumn, and I'm not sure what to do about that. The Decemberists. Passion Pit. Florence and the Machine. Rodrigo y Gabriela. Even Cherry Ghost somewhere in London. It's ALL VERY UNFAIR. YOU COULDN'T SPREAD THINGS OUT A BIT, DUDES? Hmph.


  • Oh! Also, Gary came back onto Coronation Street this week, and his first scene with David was so brilliant it almost made up for there inexplicably being no Coronation Street on Friday because of football. They just sort of chatted as though they were actually not too unhappy to see each other. David taunted Gary with having missed who won Wimbledon, Gary revealed, sort of, that he'd arranged the beating David had last Friday by an unknown assailant. And now they sort of can't look at each other because TOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM, but that's not stopping Gary from doing his whole standing too close to David thing, while David doesn't really react because he knows Gary just wants him physical violence is apparently not something he finds intimidating any more, OH GOD DAVID.

    Speaking of the beating David got, Monday's episode opened with Gail taking pictures of David's injuries for evidence - supposedly - ala this picture here. My personal thought? Money is a little tight around the Platt household. THIS IS NOT THE WAY, GAIL. This picture, on the other hand, appears to be when Anna and Gail finally get sick of the fighting and decide to force David and Gary to get married to create an alliance between the families. I can't say I'm not looking forward to that episode.


  • Hmm. Anyway. Regarding myself, I'm jobless again, but the agency called me up for my last job on the morning of the day they wanted me to go in, so I'll have to get ready just in case. For after the bank holiday, anyway. Hopefully they will have something because I could do with the money but it might be a bit awkward, since I need a bit of time off in the next few weeks. Hmm. Well, we'll see.

    And by the way, yes I am aware that a lot of my parings are screwed up. To be honest, I'm really pretty ready for Gary to decide he likes David after all, and for him and David to start being friends, and for him to help David start getting over at least some of his mental issues. QUITE READY.
