1. I work at the SCIENCE MUSEUM. and today I was paid to help someone put on a show about bubbles, and to play with boats and water while talking to a boy about evolution. It was fantastic.

2. Housesitting for Paul a couple of weeks ago earned me two bottles of wine. And this is good wine.

3. Deadshot. Floyd "Deadshot" Lawton makes me happy.

Guys guys guys guys guys

Screw the alleged fuel shortage. This afternoon I have caught a glimpse of a potential situation much more damaging to the British Way of Life.

A Pimms shortage.

Stock up now, or don't say I didn't warn you.

So, is today the only day lesbians can get engaged? Or do arbitrary rules of crapness not apply to the gay? Because the Leap Day/Ladies Day thing has always seemed crap to me.

I'm feeling bloody good about things right now. This is partly because of things that have happened in the last few days:

Wednesday Afternoon was spent at a workshop about ( Read more... )

Given the content of my last post, I'm sure it won't come as a great surprise to anyone that this morning was pretty much a complete loss. On the bright side, though, I have yet to have anything worse than a general malaise and disorientation. I've had much worse hangovers ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Bridget!

Back from Caticon (finally), which was wonderful. Hungover (rowanberries's fault) and sad/angry (which warrants a later post). avariel_wings is a king among women and bought me a nautical clock. My hand is now officially a mutant hand, and I'm sure it will erupt into something cool soon enough.I'm hoping for Wolverine claws. Meanwhile it's ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Madb and Bethan and Alice!

It's midnight-ish, so it can be everyone's birthday if I decree it so, and I do.

an example:

This morning I couldn't wake up. And when I did I couldn't find the energy for anything. So I set about working from home and watching Hook. Neither of which I've had the attention for, I feel miserable.

But I have to go in anyway because college is recalling all - all- of my library books today and I can't afford the fine.  And it's

Happy Birthday Jeri!

I'm not sure if I have content. Um. Data is data and I may have substance for another chapter soon. ms_ntropy's plumbing is almost better. Jasper's plumbing likewise, although he's having one of his fangs out next week. We're about halfway through season 1 of Supernatural and it's still just as good. RPwise, I'm back to activity in fandomhigh, ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Ikonthehologram
Whose actual name fails me right now.

But I change subject now! Look, I'm writing about more than one subject in an LJ post, I do that sometimes! Look at the actual (well kind of) content of the post. mrsneeze, I'm looking at you. Just because it's someone's birthday today doesn't mean you can't claim I didn't post ( Read more... )
