She called the Queen a whore!
I have a ridiculous amount to post about, actually; enough that I'll be here all day if I do anything in-depth, so you get bullet points.
-Subject line was my introduction to cookie2697's flatmates, LOL. They were arguing some lit crit thing, I believe about The Merry Wives of Windsor, and it so happened that that phrase was shouted just as Anne and I came in the front door. We were entertained.
-Pride London was fun. We watched the last bit of the parade go round Trafalgar Square whilst we stood near the Canada House and drank pink champagne. Really, really *bad* pink champagne, as it turned out, but that was okay.
-Chilling and talking at stargazerdavid's was much fun, as was introducing Anne to the joy that is Top Gear. Heeeee.
-The Doctor Who season finale was amazing. This will get its own post soon but suffice it to say, I adored it.
-Moar Top Gear with looking_spiffy!
-I finally have Stop Drop and Roll!!! in my hot little hands. :D Back when it first appeared on Amazon UK, it was showing as an expensive import, so Anne said she'd bring me one. And maybe it's silly, because it's not like there's any outward indication of it being any different, but it feels special to me that it was bought in northern California. I love that the CD itself is in a little paper sleeve inside the cardboard case, just like a vinyl album. I hadn't actually listened to the newer songs as much as the rips I have are filenamed all "unknown" and stuff, so they're a pain to find, which means I'm quite enjoying being able to play the CD proper.
-Had an interview today. It went well. I think partly because I don't really want the job, lol, so I was pretty relaxed. It's in the same field as the one I'm interviewing for on Thursday, with a similar level of ability/responsibility, but it's farther away (though still walkable), more stressful environment, and a fair bit less money. Nonetheless, worth interviewing for, especially as the other job is obviously not guaranteed, and it gives me more practice before the more important interview, so it's all good. I have a bunch of prep work to do for that one yet so I'll be working on that tonight and tomorrow.
-I'm apparently an Est precedent-setter, LOL. No one who's not already a player has ever requested an NPC creation! Until me. *dies* So that's all approved, and oh_johnny_ and I shall get going on our scene. I'll come to some kind of conclusion about what I want to do after that, if anything; I did get approved to actually take Rob in-game and play him, too. I suspect I eventually will take someone in, for the experience and because it scares me, both of which also mean that I'll likely settle on Hetfield if I do. Though with the more relaxed updating rules in place now, I could probably field both of them. Like I said, I wanna see how things go with Rob before making any commitments. I've gotten hella commitment-shy in the last few years, lol. So weird; I'm usually more given to *over*-committing.
