Things I have done since this time last week that I can maybe be a little happy about (and probably would have made posts about at the time if I hadn't been so busy/tired):

• Was even more useful than I normally am at volunteering
• Tried not to back down during conversations just because people didn't want to hear what I was saying (I may have failed ( Read more... )

Things I was going to make a post about, but will probably never get around to:

• Saw the new Doctor Who at the weekend. Still not sure how I feel about it.

For the record, my weekend was awesome. It involved being with two people (and a cat who's pretty much a people) who I care about a lot, listening to Adam Lambert for the first time (while not my usual scene, I did quite like what I heard), and watching the Wizard of Oz for the first time (I've been told about the book, and I just daren't read it ( Read more... )

So, I'm hoping to expand my DVD collection a little, and have some great suggestions of things to buy.
