( Further thoughts on Heroes 2x04 )
I thought the Peter Serafinowicz Show was better tonight. Even if he did rip off Gemmagic.
I also saw Mr Brooks today. It turns out Kevin Costner is actually the most beautiful man alive, when he's playing an ice-cold serial killer. That was a spoiler, unless you've read any information about the film. And Demi Moore managed to not completely annoy me. Hurrah. I have a vague plan for Stardust at some point this weekend.
My current job finished today, which was going to be a lot more dramatic when I posted about it last Monday. Today was mostly a rush of trying to get everything I was working on finished off. It's funny. I did really enjoy it, and it was interesting, and I liked working in a really small department, even if that did put massive amounts of pressure on people when anyone was off. And the day off a week was nice. But I'm not sure I'd have wanted to do it permanently. Even if we did occasionally get letters from Geoff Hoon and Ken Clarke. Anyway. The new permanent woman's starting on Monday, so I'm off. They all thanked me for being around and working hard, and it was lovely, and I left my key and that was that. The agency already have a new job for me at the University on Monday, which will be full time, which is nice because I kind of need the money. Apparently jetting off round the country without buying cheap tickets or anything wasn't my greatest plan. Although fun. But yes. Can't really go anywhere again for a little while, I think. Except for dad's birthday, possibly, in two weeks.
The job has been fairly stressful recently, with me writing the basis of our formal responses to complaints (much harder than filing), and then catching up with the backlog after the main boss guy came back. He was off sick for most of last week, by the way. Meaning I couldn't take my day off till the end of the week. The long weekend was a bit magical, though. In the meantime, I've mostly been trying to watch some of the stuff I've been meaning to watch. Like Arrested Development. And Nightingales Series 1. Carter/Bell/Eric for the win. I'm currently watching Carnivale, as I'm sure some of you will be ecstatic to hear. ( Spoilers up to 1.4 ) Sadly it's just all a bit time-consuming. Though fun.
In other news...I don't have any other news. That's pretty much it at the moment. My parents are possibly coming to see me at some point, but they haven't mentioned when. The last time they were down I had crispy duck pizza. That was quite good. It turns out chips and barbeque sauce is also one of the best things ever, randomly. There's a guy coming on Saturday to finally take a look at the wasps nest, but I'm pretty sure the cold has mostly killed them off by now. Damn it.
