Mini Hiatus Thing

sophieisgodI am leaving you all. It is sad.
I'm heading up to New House tomorrow, to take the TV and bedding and saucepans and assorted crates, and then Newcastle on Thursday for The Penelopiad! I'm staying in York until Saturday, so I can see Atonement with la chicas, and then training it back, which means hours of uninterrupted writing time, which means I should have my Teddy/Victoire ready to post by the time I'm home. :D
I'm feeling a bit meh at the moment, to be honest. Everyone's heading back to school and starting uni, and I'm... not. I am so over summmer at this point, it's not even funny. No job, no money, nothing to fuckin' doooooo (love ya, Ewan! Ooh, Long Way Down starts this month!)! Grrr, Southport.
But, I had to get money out today, so I now have a new Railcard, a sexay coral Topshop jumper, A Very Long Engagement on DVD (anyone seen it? Thoughts?), the rodrigo y gabriela album and the new Kate Rusby CD. I am happy and guilty, all at the same time. The Kate Rusby is GOREGEOUS, everybody should buy it. There's a track called "Blooming Heather", and I didn't realise until I was listening to it that it's actually "Wild Mountain Thyme", AKA That Song That Drew Sang To Libby At Their Wedding And Then Libby Sang It At Drew's Funeral! Man, I love my Best Of Neighbours DVD.
Yay for E4 resuming normal service! E4 music is my very favourite thing to watch in the mornings, and now that BB is over it has returned to me! But their late night scheduling sucks. Series 2 of The OC? Really? That's the best you could do? I loved it unconditionally for the first series, even through the stupid Oliver plotline, but Series 2 made me really not care anymore. Too many new characters, too much Marissa, Seth slowly dimininishing into a parody of his former self... Yuck. And then Series 3 with JOHNNY THE SOUL-DESTROYER and Sandy's tedious hospital sub-plot. On the plus side, we got Tayor and Marissa died. And oh, man, this episode is The Hat episode. People should not let La Barton wear hats. Especially hats that make her look like a golfer.
Kate Rusby. She is lovely.
EDIT: Hah! How could I forget? Series 2 is also the series with Marissa's Hilarious Lesbian Dabblings.

And I know what you mean about wanting uni to start. I haven't done any work but I'm kind of fed up of holidays.

Yeah, work.... The only bit of uni that I don't miss. Well, work and geese.

Date: 2007-09-11 07:48 am (UTC)Aw, The Mac. Yes, Starter For 10 must be added to a Saturday, but maybe a later one? My mother has the DVD of it too, but I am resolved not to watch it until I have read teh book and that is taking longer than expected.
Is it geese or ducks? I am ignorant.
