"Neets and Tatties"
I always thought tatties meant boobs, but the Eigoku News seems to think differently.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to ignore SPN spoilers. My whole flist is awash with the things, and if this continues I'm going to have to go into self-imposed quarantine. Like with the swine-flu thing, except without days off work and Tokyo bitching at me. It's true I've been relapsing like crazy lately, reading things in fandoms I haven't read in years, pulling out my doujin and glorying in the STUDY of it. It's hard work reading all those "ooh"s and "aaah"s, you know. But, still. My flist is my friend. Except not at the moment.
Things that have been happening:
-I forgot to mention the Sherlock screening at Clapham, which came with added bonus Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. The Q&A was really interesting, and a lot less insane than actor panels. Of course, seeing massive!Sherlock and Watson in the cinema was beautiful also.
-British Museum. Again. Slightly addicted to that place right now. For the first time in twenty years of going to the BM I actually took one of their tours. It wasn't bad, and I felt very informed afterwards. The BM library is small and confusing, but bears further investigation.
-Job #2, take 2. I have no money for travel/porn/booze. Again. This means it's time for tutoring. Again. I have an interview next week. Not sure how pleased I am about this. I wish getting normal jobs was this easy.
-White Collar is back and brilliant.
-Okay I admit I like Hawaii Five-0 a teeny tiny bit.
-I want an old man stripogram for my birthday next year.
And most importantly, I AM GOING TO SEE MORE WONDROUS RUSSIAN SHERLOCK HOLMES TONIGHT at the Russian Cultural Centre! Trousers! Breakfast eating! HOLDING AND DOILIES! (See icon) Sometimes, living in London is the best thing ever.
Finally, I am trying to chose another solo trip for the beginning of March. I originally thought Edinburgh, and this is still probably my first choice, but then I discovered that going to Athens is exactly the same price as going to Scotland! How does that even work? Tempting, tempting...
