We're gonna run out of cake at this rate

1. Woke up a half-hour earlier than normal, and it fucking shows.

2. Attempted not to yell at people at work too much. Seriously, next week CANNOT come soon enough, and not just because of 19th coming up.

3. Watched baby Nicky for a few hours; he is still the most adorable thing ever. ♥

4. Ignored my email all afternoon because I just feel so fucking tired, and so stressed out, that honestly I just wish I could switch my life off at this point, at least for a few hours.

5. Thought again about where on my body to get the tattoos I want. If I can work it out, I can get two quotes done next Tuesday! \0/

6. Saw The Girl Who Waited and cried my eyes out. Seriously, there was actualfax sobbing going on. DOCTOR WHO I LOVE YOU.

7. And since I was still feeling like crap, promptly watched all the TV shows that I've missed eps in recently. Just now am half-way through White Collar 3.10, and can I just say, PETER BURKE AND NEAL CAFFREY, NEVER CHANGE YOU GUYS. ♥

8. Um. I expect I'll finish this ep and go to bed soon? IDK. I am not accustomed to feeling so tired and stressed and listless. D: I JUST WANT TO WRITE, IS THAT SO BAD. But words are on strike in my head. DX Yesterday was so much more productive than today! At least I think I've managed to come up with an idea for the h50_exchange, which I'd been freaking out about because nothing was coming. But I rather like this one! \0/


On a more positive note, I have worked out how to make grad school work! \0/ Looking at it realistically, it's not looking like I'll be able to go until 2013, so I can save up for the move and the course and everything, but I'll be honest -- since making this decision it's like I've had a new lease of life. I feel SO MUCH BETTER, like I have a purpose in life again. Except for my sodding coworkers being arseholes (two more weeks, jesus christ, please), and my sister's husband being a total douche (in a not really fun kind of way), and just general grrr-ness. BUT I AM HERE NOW, YOU GUYS, IF YOU WANT ME. I reckon you have an hour or so before I succumb to Morpheus! ♥

First of all, happy birthday, Master Shakespeare! And happy St George's Day to my British flisters! <3 And happy Doctor Who Season 6 day, everyone else! :D

Went to see Limitless last night. [SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT] And yeah, okay, I can kinda see it, but, uh, no. That film just did not do anything for me. Apart from a bunch of gigantic plot holes, I just did not find the characters engaging, with the possible exception of Robert de Niro's turn, which is by this point something taken for granted. I did not buy into the set-up at all, either. Frankly, it was a decent way to waste a couple hours, but I doubt I'll be watching it again. [/SPOILERS]

While we're on the subject, read an article in my trusty Empire on the upcoming X-Men: First Class. While I'm not the biggest X-Men fan around, I can already tell it is going to be AN EPIC SLASHFEST, what with young Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr, a.k.a. Magneto, meeting for the first time and becoming friends, and later enemies. I can smell the fanfic from here! :D

In other news, writing is finally back on track. Am half-way through one of the help_japan stories I owe, and made a start on the other, so I feel better about it already! \0/

IS IT DOCTOR WHO TIME YET, IS IT????? I am going to spend the rest of the day climbing the walls in anticipation! At least I've just found out that Katy B's album has been released already, and I hadn't noticed! Girl has the most amazing song I heard last year, and I've been so looking forward to hearing the rest of the album! ETA: It is awesome!!

Here, for your aural pleasure, is Katy B's Katy on a Mission, which gets my blood pumping in the best possible way! I suspect it's the beyond-brilliant bass line. Not to mention, she is one foxy lady!



It occurs to me that I need a dance icon! :D

I'm trying to pin down just why I like Matt Smith's Eleven and Series 5 so damned much (as a result of finally making time to watch The Big Bang). ( Bear with me! )
