{ are you talking or thinking? }

Okay, guys, let's talk about my weekend! Let us talk, especially, about Friday, which was a world of stress unto itself, starting with my general reluctance to pack, and the discovery that I had booked my hotel for the right day, WRONG MONTH. That's right; I am a fucking genius.

( Friday. )

Woke on Saturday to a much cooler day, and made a round trip to King's Cross so that I could activate the top-up on my Oyster. Then headed to Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury to procure some giftage, by which point it had started to rain with some gusto.

I then had a really, really lovely couple of hours with hestia8 who is as brilliant in person as she is online. We went to a place in Holborn that served Dutch pancakes (huge, enormous, oh-so-delicious pancakes) and basically sat there talking each others ears off. Eventually I had to leave and make my way back home. I plan on harassing hestia8 again in a couple of weeks when I go back to see In a Forest, Dark and Deep, under the pretence of dropping off some Danish DVDs, mwhahahaha!

Speaking of the Danes, I watched more Forbrydelsen that night, and on Sunday. Guys. Guys. Please. You should be watching this show! Everyone who has lamented the quality of TV should be watching this show! Everyone who hates slipshod plots, and stories that zip past without rhyme or reason should be WATCHING THIS SHOW. Plus: hot Danes, all over the place. Seriously.

On Sunday I had my driving lesson, which could have gone better, and then The Mother's eldest sister came to visit so I spent the middle part of the day cooking chapattis, and then cleaning the cooker. They left pretty early, actually, so in the afternoon I cleared up, sorted out laundry, and then inadvertently got The Mother hooked on Fringe. As you do.

Today I sat down to finish my picfor1000 entry which, for the past month or so, has been about 200 words of Puck/Rachel future!fic. Seeing as I wasn't getting anywhere, I ended up sitting down and proof-reading some undergrad dissertations (oh. my. god. Sometimes this side gig is a fucking nightmare), and then deciding to write Justified fic instead. As one does. It contained 100% less porn than I would have liked.

Anyway, that has been posted now. I also failed to mention that I re-posted my Yuletide 2010 entry (old school Spooks) after reveal, and that is up, too.

Tonight I plan on watching more Fringe (though I should probably get caught up on Being Human already) and mentally preparing myself for my return to employ tomorrow. Ugh, tomorrow is MARCH. What the hell.
