Work has gone mental. I knew when I finished two Wednesdays back that I'd have enough to do when I got back, but jesus, it's been insane. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday trying to catch up enough to make progress on what I'd already started, but by Friday I still hadn't done much. I hate crisis calls that come after 3.30 because I know it's going to fuck over my evening. On Friday I was going to leave at 4pm, but ended up staying until after 5.30, at which point I decided, fuck it, I'll grab a drink with some people. So. It's all good, and I like having things to do. But there was many a moment when I looked at my desk and my PC and wondered if someone had set fire to the work flow.

Early start tomorrow. Hoping to take the car.

I had a dentist appointment on Monday. The dude injected me more times than I was anticipating, and my mouth felt swollen for ages. But, hey, fillings. Sorted.

I was wholly prepared to continue being in love with Fringe but the latest episode, though it started off promising, eventually devolved into something I didn't really enjoy, and couldn't really get behind. I'm all for epic love stories, or whatever, but if that's the basis of four series of plot I'm going to feel cheated.

This week's Justified was great, but it felt incomplete. It was one of those episodes where a lot of things happened, but fuck if I could tell what the point was. And sure, there has to be exposition, and it's all set up for what's to come, but each episode should have its own arc. That's basic narrative, surely?

( rambling. )

Did manage to finish watching series 1 with The Mother, though. GOODNESS. I still love how contained the first series is, and the way it wrapped up. It was extremely subtle, and I enjoyed it immensely.

SCOTT AND BAILEY IS BACK NEXT WEEK!

My sister is back from Spain tonight, and then heading back to the continent on Wednesday/Thursday. I need to convince her that we really, really need to see The Muppets whilst she's here.

This weekend has been quite busy because The Mother's youngest sister and her family stayed over. I have new saris (for my cousin's wedding) and more knowledge about my maternal family that is always good to keep in hock, so to speak. Felt a bit bad for The Boys because they weren't really in the circle of conversation, but I think they did okay out of it.

It does mean, though, that my weekend has zipped by. Oh well.

One day I will actually write a proper post about my response to Glee, but for now: yay, Troubletones and the gays; nay, every other fucking thing.

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. ( fannish round-up: glee, justified, fringe, smash. )

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.

"But you boys, I love you boys because it was through you two that I've-- I've really, truly lived."

LOL LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER.

For those of you trying to remember: WHERE ARE ALLLLL YOUR BAAALLLLLLLS?

Things I need to catch up on: Being Human.

This image is wholly pleasing to me.

Yeah, so much for actual content.

Apparently, when things get difficult in the Real World, I do not have the patience necessary to detail my boring exploits on eljay. Which is not to say that nothing has happened of late, just that I'm loath to recall what has. For the most part this past week I have existed solely on tumblr, where I can lie ensconced in Merlin picspams and reblog pretty materialistic things to my heart's content. Plus, you know, everything else has zero sum value at the moment.

Today I caught up with Being Human, the idea being that I'd watch it whilst it aired tonight. Yeah, not so much with that in the end because I am ludicrous and easily distracted.

I also watched Lost and discovered the joy of seeing Hiroyuki Sanada and John Hawkes on screen together. Fuck and yes.

For those that have the vaguest notion of what I am talking about: my friend is at home and my predictions were entirely correct, which is both disappointing and yet hardly surprising. Thanks to those who sent letters; I am replying.

WORK IS SO BUSY RIGHT NOW. I am freaking out a little bit about this project I'm working on with another team because it's not a lot of responsibility but I fear I'm about to fuck it up monstrously. It's like psychological self-harm at this point. I am stupid.

To conclude: I hope to spend Tuesday (day! off!) watching lots of NCIS and trying to restore equilibrium.

edit: Lurkers meme! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ~~fic~~ bullshit? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

Is it wrong that I laughed? I don't even care. "All together! 'Shut. The. Fuck. Up'." OH GEORGE.

Actual content to resume soon. Maybe.

Do you think this is about my vanity?

planning the revolution

(crying about it)
