On Saturday, I had the great pleasure of going to the BBC's Proms in the Park in Buile Hill Park, Salford, with the lovely Ice_Elf, whose birthday it happened to be! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (once again) to Ice_Elf!

Ice_Elf and I, along with siraplowe, headed into Salford at around lunchtime to drop our bags off at the hotel before going on to Pizza Express at Salford Quays. The ( Read more... )

I'm going away this weekend (to see lady_leonida for her birthday festivities), and I suddenly came to the realisation that I can't possibly watch nine episodes in the three hours I have before I have to leave for the train - but I have some things to say before the next episode airs. So, here we go!

WARNING: Here be spoilers! ( Observations )

I'm back in Durhamland. It's currently cold and foggy. (The fog has literally rolled in over the past hour. At least the frost has gone now, though.) The lake is frozen! And there was a massive, massive snow-pile on the far side, but it's melting now so it's less impressive ( Read more... )

I finally climbed aboard the bandwagon and got myself a Twitter account. Beware, beware, it's going to be full of random. But, if you're interested/intrigued, it's over here.

However, I'm rapidly discovering that it's not entirely good for me. I'm following Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry (and Mrs Stephen Fry thanks to lady_leonida XD), and Simon Pegg. The amound of ( Read more... )

I'm going through a slightly emo phase of Life. It would be angry!emo, but that takes too much effort. (No, really; I'm too lazy to be all 'RARGH!' at the world. I'd rather just sit and mope.) In an attempt to fix this, I've been obsessively spring cleaning - yes it is still 'spring cleaning' in August - and chucking away stuff like it's going out ( Read more... )

I just found the CD with Monkey Island on it! *joy* I also found my Wacom Tablet install CD! *more joy* They were in a box in the garage with my university stuff, along with my Old English textbook, about seven DVDs of Shakespeare plays (including The Tempest with David Dixon *still disturbed by that)*, Harry Potter and the Philosoper's Stone and ( Read more... )

Um. Guys. THIS.

My fic-writing ability seems to be returning, slowly, so long as I write in mechanical pencil in silence. Hmm ...

Also: I've been watching All Creatures Great and Small with my mum. It's an awesome show, set in the 30s and it's so twee and delightful and I love it. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes something heartwarming ( Read more... )

But before I do that: Zachary Quinto. I do not know what is going on in the man's head that made him think that doing this was a good idea. (WARNING: The link leads to a YouTube video of Zach Quinto being drenched in milk. Or, at least, we hope it's milk. Um ( Read more... )

Just came home from watching the new Star Trek film. If you haven't already, GO AND WATCH IT ASAP.

( Star Trek )

They're shooting Merlin series two. Right now. (Well, possibly not right now. Although, maybe, if they have a twilight scene.) At Pierrefonts. So, uh. Anyone want to forego their degree and go stalk some pretty try to watch some filming with me?

C'mon, there's got to be at least one taker to accompany me on my fantasty trip to France that I can't ( Read more... )
