Life as a Londoner
Adventures in London: or the less than fabulous life of a London temp.
So, life in the...Bigger city, is...not quite the round of sky high heels, theatre premieres and cocktails for which I had been led to hope (which just proves that silly girls shouldn't watch so much Sex and the City). In addition, as an honest woman, I must admit that I am ( Read more... ) -
Concern Fast
Okay, so my life as of late has been less than fascinating. The travails of a poorly paid London temp (receptioneering in a Not Remotely Parasitic investment bank) do not make for entertaining reading - nor does the constant litany of 'we can't employ you, you're inexperienced/overly educated' that has become my search for full-time employment ( Read more... ) -
Battlestar's Back
BSG - Razor
The Good- The Gina/Cain storyline was really well handled. I loved that we had Women! Talking to Each Other!, something I've be longing for, for quite some time, and I loved that Razor didn't shy away from the emotional darkness of their connection. One moment I particularly loved was when Gina had Cain at gunpoint, and it became clear ( Read more... )

Oh how I hate my landlord
In the words of the immortal Dylan Moran, I hate him so much it gives me energy. I have to get up early in the morning to hate him.
He is horrendous, in a horrendous type of way. More to the point, and much more difficult for a tenant to deal with, he's stupid. I don't mean that cruelly, or nastily, but as an objective statement of fact. The man ( Read more... ) -
I Never Want to Go to Baltimore
First of all, the best news possible...
I've finished my dissertation. Finished, finished, finished as in forever. I never have to read post-modernist theory again. I never have to give on solitary crap about the construction of the nation again. I can actually enjoy Tony Kushner's plays as plays and not as subjects for head scratching and ( Read more... ) -
My Fictional Boyfriends (picspam)
I've seen this meme going round, and thought I'd do it while taking a break from working on my thesis and being imminently jobless and homeless (no, I'm not a massive ball of panicky panic, why do you ask?)
The Old Enough to be My Father But I Still Would: Henri Ducard from Batman Begins. In fact, pretty much any role played by Liam Neeson. It's ( Read more... ) -
How not to get a job
So I haven't been doing much, that is anything, online lately. There's a simple reason for that, which is that I am currently a gigantic ball of stress and panic, and the simple thought of writing anything is more than a little terrifying (seriously - even diary entries are causing me pain). But, in an attempt to relieve the boredom and terror of ( Read more... ) -
Deathly Hallows
Having stalwartly resisted reading the 'Carpet Book' (if by resisted, one means seeing how difficult the images were and thinking 'fuck that noise') I got my greedy little hands on a copy of the new Harry Potter at 12.30 last night...
The Good- Molly Weasley does Ripley from Aliens. No words. Easily one of the best moments of the book for me.

Losing My Entire Mind
Wow. If anyone ever wanted to see me completely lose my shit, tonight was the night. I came home from Order of the Phoenix to find my room...infested by ant/flies/insect type thingies. When I say infested, I'm not being euphemistic - I mean infested. I mean that scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (okay there weren't any centipedes ( Read more... ) -
Back in Fandom
Well, sort of. That's the plan anyway.
The last week and a half has been a whole big bunch of crazy. I had to go to my friend's funeral, organise the reading of her play, go to the reading my play, put the finishing touches on my play script (which I'm handing in tomorrow) and meet with my dissertation supervisor. I spent all weekend working on ( Read more... )
