Thought I'd better post before people forget who I am (I'm feeling that might be a distinct possibility).

Not that I have anything to say, but I shall make a bulleted list anyway:

  • Christmas was quiet, except for laying a new wooden floor in my flat;

  • See... )

my boring life, blooming christmas, whinging

OMG wooden floor! ::is very jealous::

And what junk? You should see this place!

Sorry you're not interested in TW, but I guess the Winchesters will keep you happy? Anyway, it's nice to 'see' you! :)

Also - congrats on the writing. *applauds*

It's only a wood laminate, but it's a million times better than the old stained carpet I had before.

You should see the bedroom, I can barely move in it! But this is mainly junk that's been displaced by the decorating, so it should be tidier.

The Winchesters might keep me happy if it wasn't for the writer's strike. :(

I've finally remembered my plot again!

I often think wooden flooring must be colder and noisier than carpet - but it does look so good. And is probably easier to keep clean. Hmm - maybe I could take to it after all....

My jury's still out on the cold thing, but it's not really noisier unless you're wearing clumpy boots or heels, which I don't. The units shale a bit as you walk past though.

What junk? And the floor looks lovely, what kind of wood is that?

The attractive cleaning materials and glue! I think it's a kind of oak.

We have distinctly similar floors upstairs, light oak, I couldn't recall the colour I'd chosen at all - they could have laid anything 18 months on, still very pleased - so much cleaner.

Primeval, thought, huh? when you mentioned it earlier, then saw a trailer and thought, oh yeah, watched that. I suck at remembering any titles.

I would have liked a really dark floor, but it wouldn't have suited the place. Maybe when I get my country cottage.

Primeval is a bit crap, but it entertains me for an hour and I want to know what happens now!

I like dark in theory, but the light floor is really nice, airy, spacious looking. I am still looking at it and thinking 'shiny:)'. Because it's wood layer laminate, the colour is darkening slightly anyway.

Re Primeval, enjoyed the story, shame about the effects, obviously not made in Wales by BBC Wales.

Dark depends on what goes with it and I'm trying to lighten my furniture.

My mum didn't think the actors were good looking enough.

Hobbitbro has wooden floors throughout because of the kids and spillage issues. I like the look of it, but it was a nightmare when we had hobbitbeagle - the tippy tappy noise of her nails as she walked up and down drove me mad! Yours looks very nice though.

I'm quite looking forward to Torchwood, but all the squeeing about the stupid kiss is getting on my nerves a bit. I taped primeval tonight because hobbitmum was round (she hates it), and haven't watched it yet.

Maybe I shouldn't get a cat then.

Torchwood never appealed to me became I can't stand Captain Jack and to be honest, I'm not that attracted to JM. Plus I'm stubborn, the more people squee, the less I am inclined to care (thus my deep aversion to Firefly)!

I made my mum watch Primeval. It was my revenge for all the rubbish she makes me watch when I'm here.

I'm with you on that - Firefly is definitely overrated as far as I am concerned. And the more people tell me I must like it, the less I do. I still haven't managed to stay awake and/or interested through a whole episode yet...

As for JM - he just gets in the way of my Spike love. The more I see of him, especially as himself with his TMI tendencies, the more of Spike is extinguished in my mind. So I have mixed feelings about Torchwood - especially since it would appear he has chosen to use Spike's dodgy english accent for the role too. *moans*

I never did like westerns anyway.

To be honest I like characters rather than actors, I suppose you know them better. I don't really want to know the actor that much, it gets distracting.
