Well, LJ hasn't eaten a post for a long while, so I guess it was time. *frowns at it* I'm too tired to reconstruct, but basically, tomorrow night I am flying back to England. It's been a bloody whirlwind trip, considering it was for three weeks, but I've been to four provinces and slept in seven different beds, so I think that's a safe ( Read more... )

All travel accomplished safely, although the landing was rather abrupt for my taste. I slept maybe an hour on the coach to the airport, and a bit on the plane, but nothing really cumulative. So it's after 11pm in England, and I've been awake basically since 07.30 yesterday morning. Ouch. I will go climb in my fantabulous bed very soon!

I finished my long-distance Christmas shopping today, bleurgh, and remembered in the process why I had kept putting it off: it hurts. Focusing on people that I am not going to be able to *see* at Christmas makes me miss them hardcore and thus I spent most of my shopping extravaganza time in some level of tearing up. I did not, however, actually cry ( Read more... )

Can't brain, have the tiiired; proper report later. Pictures also later. Barcelona is an hour ahead of GMT so I've now navigated yet another time shift - a double one this time! - and expect all progress towards achieving a regular sleep pattern has been destroyed, lol. So for now, have some bullet points ( Read more... )

looking_spiffy and I packed to the strains of American Idiot earlier (okay, so it took slightly longer than one revolution of the album :P) and barring those last-minute things to grab, we're ready to head off to Spain tomorrow. Eeeee! I'm excited. Tonnes of planning has been done about what we might go see, etc. - very little of it by me, lol. I've been oddly ( Read more... )

Leaving in a couple hours for the airport, so time to put away WS and make sure everything still fits in my bag! I don't know when exactly I'll be online again, but either I or looking_spiffy will post to let y'all know that I made it to London. Yay for grabbing the new FHT songs and getting them loaded onto my Nano so I can listen obsessively on the plane (at ( Read more... )

I am ensconced at evaine's in my pyjamas with a big mug of tea and the Storytellers: Matchbox Twenty DVD playing on the lovely big screen TV. :D My idea of a good night with a friend indeed! Flight last night was uneventful, save for a little damage to one of my checked bags, grr. It's along one of the back edges so it should be fine to continue to use ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of following matociquala's link to Shadow Unit, eeeeee. Instead of me explaining it, I'll let her do it in detail. BUT, her short form is, "Shadow Unit is, more or less, the website for a serial drama in internet form. Or possibly it's a fan site for a TV show that doesn't exist." Except, y'know, it's kind of a fannish/original blendy thing ( Read more... )

The Ecstasy of Gold and Working Class Hero make a nice little playlist, all on their own ( Read more... )

I think I totally forgot to post about this - I have been wicked scatterbrained of late. Week before last, I applied for a position within my company/building, in the reporting analysis/admin division. I had my test on Excel and Access earlier this week, and have passed to the next stage, which is the dreadful but doable behavioural interview. (For ( Read more... )
