I ate'nt dead.
Hello world. Well, hasn't it been a long time? I have many things to update you on, but I keep starting posts and then running out of steam before I finish them. Someday I may go into all these things in detail, but for the moment, to sum up:
- Christmas was great.
- Work continues to suck.
- I saw a fabulous version of the Robin Hood legend at the RSC ( Read more... )
Yeah, work can bite me, right now. *flails hands at the whole big mess*
Yes, definitely popcorn entertainment, following the tradition of Murder, She Wrote and all that (Castle might not appreciate the comparison). I had a day off sick in January, and it was the perfect thing to lie around on the sofa and watch on my laptop. :)
Oh how I love how Pterry writes the witches. I was just thinking, part the way through one of them, that, like, 80% of the characters in the book were women (unless you count the Nac Mac Feegles individually), and it didn't feel contrived, or like a book-for-girls... it was just the society that Tiffany moves in.
Go easy on your knees, hon.
And heh, I have a lot of volunteers to take away these evil strawberries+chocolate, it seems... I don't hate them together, I just think it's a bit of a waste of two wonderful ingredients.
Huh, I guess jacket potato with baked beans is a Brit thing (you'll find it in practically every pub). Again, they're things that I like separately, but I think that's just a ridiculous amount of starch for one meal. Although I'll happily eat beans on toast... *shrug*

Some of his earlier books are....less good when it comes to female characters, but eventually he learned to get it right and damn did he get it right.

I'm trying! They don't seem to generally mind badminton or hockey (okay, I twisted one very slightly in last night's game, but I think it's okay) and I'm trying to be good about my PT exercises. I just want to run, but the past year or two there's been a very strong correlation between times I've tried to start running again and times my knee(s) is/are flaring.

I can understand that. I am often a "mix the flavors" kind of person, but I can understand the other thing. Also, sometimes chocolate+strawberries can cover up the fact that one of the two is subpar in quality, you know?
Could be - we put a lot of stuff on baked potatoes here, but baked beans seems less common to me - and in general it wouldn't be bar food here.
Anyway. *HUGS*
(Bean poked me the other day that a year ago we were heading to London. *sniff*)
