I still haven't seen more than five minutes of the most recent Being Human. Am beginning to consider that when these things take effort, I should just drop them already. I have no idea what happened in this week's Glee except the amazing swim coach made a minor appearance to bitch out Sue Sylvester, and Santana danced with Ricky Martin. IT WAS GREAT.

The Mother and I didn't watch any more early Justified and won't tomorrow, either, because we're people with social lives all of a sudden. I very much enjoyed The Devil You Know, from Rachel competently dealing with the bullshit she deals with all the damn time, to Raylan realising he was probably going to have to help Dickie Bennett. Brilliant.

I also enjoyed Fringe despite its earnest attempts to gross me out, and I enjoyed the parts of Smash that I saw (I love Debra Messing, and yaaaaaaaay, Raza Jaffrey!) though I will probably not keep up with it.

I swing between being desperate to watch Borgen and heavily reluctant. Sigh.

I wasn't expecting to be overly invested in the IFTAs last night, but then Colin Morgan presented the award for TV Best Actress, and Ruth Negga won it for Shirley, and suddeny it was something else entirely.

Work. What do I say about work. I had my appraisal this week, and managed to type it up. I also had a couple of days of things to do. The problem with my job is that when we are at high capacity, we need two more people to get things done. But it's so inconsistent that I spend a lot of time twiddling my thumbs, despite asking for, and completing, other work. I like my job a lot - when I am actually doing it. Otherwise it's a bit of a time suck. At least I'm getting paid? Yeah.

That said, have been looking at what it would take to set up an independent cinema. The answer is: insanity. And yet. Fuck, I know nothing about business.

Anyway, only working three days next week, and then five days off, hurrah.

House/flat-hunting = dead end so far. This is less because of options and more because I am the worst. But. Whatever. Not thinking about it right now.

Today I watched Beginners (Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Melanie Laurent, and a dog) which was exactly what I needed to watch today. It was about starting over - in life, in love - but also about the history of people. I liked it for what it was, and will definitely watch it again, though I can see how some people might find it very surface-level.

Jaw-ache resulting from toothache. I just have to survive a week before my dentist appointment. At this point it's fifty-fifty as to whether or not I will make it.
