This week has NOT been awesome so far. The weekend was pretty great (if a little non-stop) and then Bank Holiday Monday was blissfully empty but so far this week my windscreen got a chip & needs replacing, one of the computers at work appears to have run out of space despite having 1TB of space originally, some IDIOT cast Martin Freeman in Cap 3 ( Read more... )

First things first (with thanks to beren_writes) you can switch off that ridiculous LJ Times banner at the bottom of all pages here: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions

Now onto more interesting things :-P yuletide assignments are out and I'm pretty ( Read more... )

Next week and the week after I have two runs of three nights of theatre in a row... which is very exciting and wonderful but also slightly exhausting just to think about. The first one can be blamed on me being incapable of turning down free theatre and the second can be, well blamed isn't the right word At All but explained by the fact that Amanda ( Read more... )

Yesterday I escaped work at lunchtime (and thank goodness I did it was NOT the best of days all round *sighs* maybe next week will be better?)

Anyway. I am so incredibly tired it's a bit awful and I want to go to bed or maybe have a long relaxing bath or some such wonderful thing but unfortunately I must remain awake and drive to Watford in the middle of the night to drive my sister and her friends home from their holiday ( Read more... )

I HATE BLOODY DRIVING AND CARS AND ROADS AND AND AN

*takes a deep breath*

I would say that the last two days reminded me why it is I almost always travel by train not car but then I just read slemslempike's account of her journey home which was by train and was horrible so maybe just travelling is bad. Except of course I would see nobody ever if there was no ( Read more... )
