I went to bed early, at something like eleven, eleven thirty. Woke up at one thirty (which was five and a quarter hours ago) and have been unable to sleep ever since. I got up early, went out and did stuff all morning, so why can't I sleep tonight? I should be adjusting to the upcoming morning shift, since from Tuesday I'll have to get up at 4: ( Read more... )

I got up at 7:00am this morning (a SUNDAY! *gasp*) to go to some village I STILL can't remember the name of (begins with a C). They have a preserved old railway station with working steam-train. I was invited by my old (circa age 14) English teacher Mr. Robertson, who called me on Friday after running into my mum at work (she's in the offices of ( Read more... )

Another couple of non-existent DVDs I'd (wish I could afford to) buy if they were to be made ( Read more... )

No; this isn't one of those Amazon-style lists of DVDs I wish people reading the list would buy me... This is a list of DVDs I wish existed (so that people could THEN buy them for me ( Read more... )

At work today, I found myself thinking about He-Man, for the second day in a row...

Here it is, only a couple of weeks late! And it's LOOOOOONG...!

The alarm went off at 6:13am with an electronically-reproduced William Tell Overture and I actually managed to drag myself out of bed rather than set it for another 15 minutes. Of course I hadn’t packed my bag in advance so spent a while tracking down the programme with directions ( Read more... )

The entry about the Comics Festival IS coming, honest ( Read more... )

I did 3 days of nights, for which I apparently earned £6.36 an hour, I've done a week of afternoons for a wage I have yet to discover, so on Monday I have to get up at 4:45am to walk to work for 6:00am. This is when I really start hating Polestar with a passion not just a grudge ( Read more... )

Back at Polestar, the same people are still there and probably still talking to each other about how the place is going to be closed down and bulldozed any time now. It hasn't been too bad so far, but then I haven't had to get up at 4:45am for the morning shift yet ( Read more... )
