ink_splotch1. Morte D'Arthur would be infinitely more amusing to read if I were allowed to edit it as I read. There would be a lot of comments along the lines of: "Too much tell, too little show", "irrelevant to the plot", "repeating how much Gawain likes fruit eight times is just annoying" and "character development - look it up".
It is entirely possible that I am a terrible English student.
2. My dad and I have watched four hours of How I Met Your Mother today. We watched two hours yesterday. We are maybe a little bit hooked. (Also, my dad keeps going "The women! They have *hips*! When did they start allowing women with hips to be on TV?" which is very amusing. And, indeed, the women on HIMYM are really, really gorgeous. Mmmmmhmm.)
Also, the show is just awesome. And mostly angst-free! ♥
3. I've been having a huge craving for more Being Human the last couple of days. Why isn't there more? *dispairs*
4. I've managed to double book just about every day this holiday and so haven't managed to do a lot of things I should have done. Like book a time for my hair. This is becoming a bit of a crisis.
5. 10 days to Paris! 10 days until I get three completely work-free days! This should be de-stressing, except right now I'm kind of worried it won't be as awesome as I want it to be, or Gemma won't like it as much as I hope, and just, flail! And then I realize that it's three days with *Gemma*. How can it be anything but awesome?
5a. Well, it won't be awesome if I don't exchange my money. Like, before I leave Denmark, where I can do it without have to pay an exchange fee.
5b. PARIS OMG YOU GUYS I LOVE PARIS! ♥
6. Also, am going down to Becca's in eight days. It's kind of weird - being at uni, I very rarely actually see people's, you know, former homes and meet their families and all that. I'm oddly excited about that. Also, going to church!
7. Critical theory has just become awesome again. Seriously, Freud's essay 'The Uncanny' is possibly the best thing I've read in CT this year outside of gender and queer theory (and more interesting than certain aspects of those theories, as well). I am now in the novel position of actually wanting to write my essay.
It's quite a strange feeling.

3. I know, right? There's only been the pilot, right? I CRAVE MORE, UNIVERSE. DO NOT FAIL ME.
4. Okay, seriously. You cannot be as bad as me. I don't even have time to *think* about haircuts, let alone new glasses.
5. PARIS!!!!!
6. Give her a hug from me, okay? Because she's awesome and lovely and gorgeous. You may quote me on that.
7. Yay for Freud, then, the weird fucker that he is.

3. I KNOW! *pouts* C'mon BBC, commission the damn thing. NOW.
4. Fair enough. I have, in fact, successfully booked an appointment tomorrow, so that's good, right?
5. EEK!
6. But of course! And I agree, natch.
7. Freud for great justice!
Re: heart.
Date: 2008-04-02 06:54 pm (UTC)2. Actually, that... sounds awesome. I'm gonna look that up.
3. BBC, we want you to!
4. It's something, at least. A step in the right direction?
5. It's gonna be *awesome*!
6. Good girl.
7. Or phallus jokes. One or the other, really. Or both.
Re: heart.
Date: 2008-04-05 01:29 pm (UTC)2. It is! *promotes*
3. You love us, right? Right?
4. I have hair! Proper, neat hair!
5. GLEEEEEE!
7. Well, yes. That too.
Re: heart.
Date: 2008-04-05 05:04 pm (UTC)3. Please, Mr BBC. We're pretty!
4. YAY!
5. ♥
7. Oh, Freud. You make it so *easy*.
