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.

Yesterday I left my flat to find a dead pigeon in my courtyard. I called my landlords twice about it and got no reply. I went on to develop quite horrible period cramps, tried sticking it out after the main secretary and my boss really said it wasn't a good time for me to go home because she'd be completely on her own, until I developed quite bad stomach, back and thigh cramps and started feeling very nauseous and asked if actually I could go home a little bit early. I had quite a painful bus journey back to my flat, then laid down and watched TV for a few hours, and a dvd. I got up, went to the shop to buy some chocolatse and ordered a pizza because I didn't feel like cooking. Then the cramps and the nausea came back, the pizza hadn't turned up an hour after I called, so I called back and found out the driver had been but my intercom wasn't working and he hadn't had the credit to call my phone. So I waited another half an hour or so, having to keep going outside when I didn't really want to move, past the pigeon, to see if he had arrived.

Then when he came, the pizza was cold, he'd brought me a diet coke instead of a regular coke, and I was feeling so ill the smell of the pizza made me want to throw up. I went to bed at 10.30, because there was no point me staying up, having had two jaffa cakes and a few lines of a chocolate bar since I got in, spent at least an hour trying to get comfortable/wait for the cramps to wear off, and woke up at some point this morning, laid a wake for a bit, before finally checking the clock and finding out it was 5:11 am.

It was not my best of days.

Today, after going to sleep just wehn my alarms were going off and waking up at about quarter to nine, I called up to say I wouldn't be in to work, probably. I laid around in bed, feeling guilty, because once again there was onbly one secretary form our teamn there, and she was going on holiday next week, and the docotr I am actually a secretary to was going on holiday next week, as well as her SHO, so would possibly have lots of stuff to do. I finally, feling half alright, went into work, got stopped by roadworks for a little while, and got there at about 3:00. Then left at 4:30. Then went to see my landlords, and found out they don't deal with dead animals on the property. Then went to see the Dark Knight again, while it was still on the big screen, as I had been planning to yesterday. I still love the Joker dskjfhkjasdsgdahsakfdjslakdj.

It sikes me, as it has before, that the Dark Knight is sort of like a Cinderella story. Although a version where Cinderella kills the guards and sets fire to the palace.

In other news: I can't believe no-one's written any Fracture slash. Almost every scene with them together features Crawford looking at Willie like he's in love with him. I fantasise sometimes about Crawfoird trying to lick out all the slurred consonants and elongated vowels from Willie's mouth. And the phrase 'fucking the Prosecution'. If it wasn't for the unfortunate subplot of misogyny in the film, I would like it a whole lot more. And I watched an episode of House today. I like Cuddy. I do not like House. There was a bit where Cuddy almost electrocuted him. If only he hadn't moved away.

Also, any shortcomings the film Step Brothers is more than made up for by the singing scene. And the hug. And the sister-in-law. All those things are great.

Yay.

Things I love:

  • Sean and Stacey Slater.


  • The guy I saw in the Little Shop of Horrors stage show was Southern and had slicked-back hair and pointy boots and was a bit perfect. But Steve Martin makes a pretty damn good Arvin Scrivello too.


  • Batman - The Dark Knight: Yay. (spoilers for a scene, sort of).


  • Justin from out of Hollyoaks.

Things I don't like:

  • The new ads for Oasis. What are they even trying to say? Who made them? Why?

Just a quick one:

Batman: The Dark Knight )

And now I'm going to see it again. Look, there were scheduling and ticket booking issues. Don't judge me. See you in a bit!

It was my birthday today. I was going to post about it after finishing my con report, but oh well. There's still a few minutes of it left. I got two cards, from my parents and grandma, which was nice. I spent the day mostly watching television, starting Batman: The Killing Joke, and the Joker is the saddest thing ever. And Batman and the Joker are the gayest things ever. And I finished off my con report. And I watched Mitchell and Webb. Am I the only one who thinks that sometimes the guy who's clearly very impressive, and clearly winning over the girl the less impressive guy likes, should turn out to be interested in the less impressive guy? I can't be the only one.
