I want to move to the US of A
because apparently I'm only a size Medium in the US, not a size Large. :D This makes me very happy and I will be emigrating soon... *g*
My t-shirts from 80's tees arrived today. :D I got this one, this one and this one. :D
Had a very busy day at work. So much so that I had to leave some of it for the morning and I hate going in to yesterday's leftover work. But I already stayed 15 mins late. *sigh* Gonna be a crap week. We're a staff member short, I'm doing some of my new job on top of a full daily load of my old job and Sgt. Major was on a go-slow today, just to be annoying. You know it's gonna be a bad week when you're already pissed of before 9am on Monday. He's also flat refused to work Friday, even for pay. Which means I'll be working alone. Doing three people's work. Joy.
My friend sent me a pic message today of a 8 week old border collie pup she's just got! OMG he is soooooo gorgeous! I adore BC's anyway and he's all legs and floppy ears... I just want to squish him. Hopefully meeting him at the weekend. :D This is not helpful for my puppy broodiness. Her little boy wanted to call him "Pancake" which I think is an awesome name for a dog! Lol. Her boyfriend flat refused and said he didn't want to be shouting that across a park! Heh. So they've settled on "Marley". :)
The bad thing about is that they got him from a puppy farm. I'm trying my hardest not to lecture her, she hasn't asked for my advice or opinion and I'm gonna try not to force it on her. Really hard to keep my mouth shut. I've offered her my training notes. I have my fingers crossed that it all works out for them, but to be perfectly honest, their situation, their relationship and their inexperience...the pup is statistically destined for rescue. I'm trying to offer help and advice without being too pushy. I really want it to work, but I'm a little apprehensive. I don't think they quite know what they're letting themselves in for.
But we'll see I guess.
Super Sekrit message for wanderingsmith: You are in sooooo much trouble! The bunny won't leave my head alone! I even started writing the bloody thing at lunchtime!! As if I need this on top of the gazzilion WIP's I already have! Lol. Poor Si's being neglected...
I'm toying with some MacGyver porn. Someone put the idea in my head and now I can't get it out of my head. Anyone know where I can get Mac transcripts? I seem to only be able to find one for the Pilot.
I had 2 hours sleep last night. Set my alarm for 6.30 so I'd be up in plenty of time for a shower. Went to bed at 2am-ish. was still awake at 4.30am. And it was getting light. *blinks* Oddly, I don't feel tired.
I HATE the Da Vinci code. Haven't seen the movie but I did read the book and ...ugh ugh ugh. Hated it. I think the core concept of the story is a good one and has much potential for fiction/movies, but the way Dan Brown presented it...ugh. I think the author's voice in this book, through his main character, is the most condescending and patronising I've ever experienced from a book. All the stuff about the art in the Louvre serves absolutely no purpose to the story and to me it comes across as the author simply showing off his knowledge. Pointless. Kinda boring. I did give it the benefit of the doubt at first, thinking he might be trying to make his main character some unbareable man, but if that was his intention, he failed.
I don't like the ridiculously short chapters and the jumping from scene to scene to scene. It's a novel, not a screenplay. I like it when author's play around with the standard conventions of "the novel" but he just didn't pull it off. It was like he knew it was going to be a movie before he'd written it and was trying to make it movie-friendly right from the begining.
Lastly, I felt he'd insulted my intelligence to a ridiculous level. The little thing (can't remember it's name) with the letters they have to turn to open it, where the clue is something to do with Newton and it's five letters. Did you immediately think "apple" too? Because I certainly did. This guy, his main character, is supposed to be some kind of genius, has all this wonderful knowledge and yet he can't figure this out? And it's not even like he only had one chance to input a word it would be destroyed. That, I could've lived with. But he was trying all sorts of different words, and "apple" didn't cross his mind even once?? WTF??
