Spent most of Christmas and Boxing Day sleeping because Mark was pissing me off. He wasn't drunk and belligerent or anything that might've made Dad stick to his promise of kicking Mark out if he misbehaved, just kind of annoyingly childish in a way that really got under my skin. Since Dad spent most of his time cooking and Mum and Sam were doing ( Read more... )

Diablo III came in the mail. I started a wizard named Scherzo, was gonna be ScherzoPontara like my Paladin from II but they reduced the character count and so that name wouldn't fit. Played for about eight hours straight, got to level 15, got my Templar hireling to level 15, got close to the end of Act I and then a message popped up saying the ( Read more... )

Spent most of the past two days watching Steins;Gate in its entirety with only one pause for "Dear God, my brain cannot handle subtitles right now, I need sleep". It's one of the better animes I've watched and it kept me entertained even though there were some things I saw coming a mile away (Best example, a major reveal regarding one character ( Read more... )

Got around to reading Mockingjay. It's certainly structured differently than the first two books in the series but I enjoyed it, a bit more than Catching Fire but I have to agree with the general consensus that Hunger Games is the superior book of the trilogy.

Work was a bit of a mishmash today: did some copytyping, was taught how to use the Wintime system for logging my hours, restocked and rearranged the fliers in the cabinet, printed labels and started putting together a photo evidence log for Lindsey. Lots to do, but being back after a long weekend felt really sucky.

Got home at about five and made ( Read more... )

Ugh, so I forgot to post again yesterday. Brief recap: At work, Jacqui was really busy and so couldn't supervise me making calls like she'd been planning to. I spent the morning doing research, then bit the bullet and started making my way through the list at 2:00. Kinda got into the groove of it and Maz said I was sounding really professional, so ( Read more... )

Okay, so since I was supposed to be meeting the girls today I spent the morning browsing the internet idly and waiting for a text to arrange the time and place we were gonna meet up. At two in the afternoon I sent identical texts off to Hanna and Yasmin asking in this regard and got a reply from Hanna that Yasmin was at her dad's place and I'd ( Read more... )

Attempted to make a start on the fic today but my muse just wasn't with me and then Mark interrupted and sparked an argument, it elevated into a full-on brawl that Sam joined in on and Mum had to get between us to calm things down. I haven't been that out of control in a long time and it was such a petty thing that sparked it all off, I'm just ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I updated so my collection has gotten rather expansive. Things you can expect under the cut: Pseudo-philosophical musings, riffing on movies and TV, deadpan snarking, cameos from my family, running jokes and the casual insanity of suburban life.

 So it seems I may have been right in assuming it was a little pre-emptive to call Fran fixed. When I started her up today she was whirring again and I quickly found that she's totally oblivious to having a D: hard drive. This was followed almost immediately by a power surge that shut her down completely.

Dad's automatically assumed that something's ( Read more... )
