GIP because tigertrapped reminded me that I need to watch the last few episodes. (Ah, this scene kills me. Birdie and the birds, and all that self-sacrifice. I used to find her vacuous. Obviously I've seen the GRIEVOUS ERROR of my ways. January Jones is smashing.) I only know a couple of flisters who are watching this which... guys, rectify this already. Between January Jones and Christina Hendricks - plus the production which is TOP NOTCH; the clothes alone make me *swoon* - you can't go wrong.

I love this song. When I first listened to the album, I was a bit bored (Mercy isn't really representative, so if you go in for more of that, it's hit and miss), but now I'm seeing its charm. Warwick Avenue is great, too.

So! Let me tell you how great Monday was! Sunday afternoon through to Monday morning, I was writing that stupid essay. I didn't sleep, and because the office opens so late I didn't want to sleep straight off. Took a shower, dressed, drank some juice and went for a great early-morning walk at around 7am. It was still cool; the early morning air is sharp but good for walking. Got back to the house, went through my internet-related routines and then sat with The Flatmate and T as they had breakfast. (Wrote a letter because letter writing has become my thing again.) Left for the subsidiary campus at around 10am, Rilo Kiley swinging me on my way. The day was amazing, so I dropped off the essay and then walked the distance into town. Hung out in the park, then walked through town down to the docks. Came back up to the city centre and decided, fuck it, I'm going shopping. Unfortunately, though I earmarked some gorgeous dresses and tops, my budget doesn't really stretch that way right now. (Haha, I found a top I liked in Principles, so I texted The Mother - Nice top in Principles. £20 y/n? - and got 'yes' back. Except it wasn't worth £20 so I left it in the end. But! Wallis has a sale! May go back and buy me a dress.)

T met me a little while after that and we went to M&S (she bought sushi! I bought juice. NATCH) before buying doughnuts to share with N and The Flatmate when we got home. (The Flatmate was writing a 3k book journal on Holocaust related literature so we decided doughnuts were in order.) Ate lunch, went to Boots, Paperchase and then Asda where I bought a delicious French stick which I ate for dinner last night.

Aie, aie, aie. I was so dizzy in the evening because (a) NO SLEEP and (b) I hadn't really eaten. So I sat down to eat, and moron that I am, decided it was time to finish the rosé. MORON. Now I'm sleep-deprived, carb-filled and I'm pretty certain that wine hit me. What do I do? Go for another walk. At 8.30pm. *headdesk* But I needed to stay awake until 10 or I wouldn't sleep properly. Came back from the walk (whole thing was dizzying), washed up, sat with The Flatmate for the first 10 minutes of Waking the Dead (no specs, no consciousness, so I have no idea - someone was convinced that the bones weren't his father?) then went and dozed on T's bed whilst she played some Ani DiFranco. Finally dragged my arse up the stairs and went to bed a little after 10pm.

Woke this morning to Leona Lewis at 7am. I slept straight through, unsurprisingly. It's shaping up to be another beautiful day. I'm going to go for another walk and then read Eugenides' Middlesex because I think I'm going to use it for Monday's essay.

I have three weeks' worth of Bones to watch, lols. Fandom, currently you fail to live up to RL. (Unless you are WMC or BSG. Or Cold Case, apparently, which I am storing up to watch. Why hello there, Crime Procedural.) WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I HAVE TO GO HOME?

Ahh, I love Mad Men so much. And I loved that scene. I was the same with Betty in the beginning but she is fast becoming my favourite character. And Joan is totally fabulous too. I hate that I'm almost finished watching it though, life is going to be so dull without it. I'm going to miss all the lovely clothes!

Aha, rosé is my mother's "summer drink" this year, so we're currently very well stocked up with it. I'm becoming pretty fond of a small glass whilst sitting in the garden enjoying the sun. All this lovely weather we're having at the moment is so fantastic.

And I'm sooo behind on BSG! I haven't watched any of the new episodes yet.

I thought I was super behind, but I only have 2 episodes left to watch. There's one on BBC's iPlayer, and then the finale. The women on this show are amazing. I love them.

Lols. I prefer rosé to anything else because it tends to be sweeter. I drank too fast though, lols.

!!! You MUST. As soon as possible. They've been good!

Oh January Jones! I love her in this blue coat:

The costumery for the show is unbelievable, and January Jones is so stunning. There was another piece she was wearing earlier in the season that was beautiful.
