Correction - it was this monday's episode!

It was THIS weeks doctor who I need - from monday of this week.
The first episode of the two parter Human Nature by Paul Cornell.
Last weeks about the ship falling into the sun - that one we have...not sure why it taped one and not the other...
It was the one that aired monday.... Oh please please!
Please help? :)

HELP!

So - would anyone happen to have taped last weeks' episode of Dr. Who?
Anyone?
ANyone?
It was the first half of the two parter by Paul Cornell, based on a favorite book of his by the same name - Human Nature. I and J have been waiting forever to see it and for some unknown reason the player didn't record it while we were away so we are SOL. Which sucks as it's about the only episode we've wanted to see all year. And no reason why it didn't record. It just didn't. Bollocks.

If anyone has a tape of it I'd be ever so grateful - the online viewing is so jagged and choppy I can't get thru it, and J is of the sort that once we miss an episode, we're right out for the rest of the season until the DVDs come out - that sucks. No more Doctore who. Meh. Not cool at all.
It is definitely mompey here in my home right now...

Please help.
Please?
I'll make you waffles...

Venting

OK.
So, I'm trying not to be furious...but after a night of sleep and lunch I'm still mad.
Why?
Well, while we were away a few friends checking on our cats while we were away for 10 days, to be sure they were getting love and food and water.
And, when we got back last night they had NONE.
Not a drop of water or a scrap of food.
I left them 3 bowls of water and two large bowls of food to be on the safe side, in case they couldn't come every other day. I'm glad I did.
They were to be checked on every other day.
And so I raise a hearty WTF to the world?
No food at all...ALL GONE.
I'm not impressed AT ALL. My critters are very important. Knowing I can't trust my friends with things this important to me is very dissapointing...particularly as I do this for them all the time.
I'm wondering how long they were alone with no food...
*sigh*
From now on I'm asking my family to come by, even if it is an imposition.
I'm just glad they're OK...

I should hope so

You Are Rogue

You're reluctantly special. In fact, you long to be normal.
You consider your powers to be a curse, and something you can't control.

Powers: absorbing other people's memories and abilities, weakening and killing people with your touch


I always wanted to be her....hot damn. She was my favorite.
I even wanted the hair for a while in high school - My grandma went grey like that (my mom would have had a cat if I died it back then). I can only hope...

Well helloooooooo there.
I am finally back from my holiday.
True to form, I've caught a nasty cold while away, but I had a wonderful time and will have time to post about it later. I feel all recharged and happy with life, and had a fantastic time in the woods dancing like a monkey and hearing great music from around the globe.
Right now (unfortunately) I'm back at work after arriving in late last night and have much to catch up on. The world did carry on without me, as it turns out, but there is much for me to catch up on.
So I must run...
Just wanted to say hello and all that and will be back in a bit :)

with slightly less suck

Well today an't great either, but whatever.
I'm getting ready for Shambhala and trying to see Fringe plays and sleep all at the same time.

Wish me luck. And if I don't have time to pop back before I go - talk amongst yourselves!
Back in a while!

reboot

Today has been absolutely awful.
Suffice it to say it's right up there with worst few days ever.
I'd like to start again please.
It's not the day I signed up for...

An open letter to Baker's Secret Deluxe Bakeware

Dear Baker's Secret,

Today I used your deluxe, professional line of non-stick muffin pans.
I have only 4 words to describe my annoying experience with your "guaranteed non-stick bakeware":

Non stick, my ass.

Could you at least make an effort towards producing a quality product?
Do you still stand behind your product or should I just not bother with brand names that used to stand for quality and get back to random picking of the shiniest thing on the shelf when selecting new bakeware?

Ah. That's what I thought.
Good day to you then.

Sincerely,
Geosomin

A toast on a sunny afternoon


To old friends.
To happy memories.
To the thought of many new ones.
Cheers!

Counting down...




Shambhala is in 5 days...we're leaving in 4.
So much to do!
BUT I am no longer at work and hot damn, I may have a lot to do, but I can't wait.
No more work until the 16th...that is nice.

Today and tomorrow are food prep and finishing (I hope I hope) my new and improved tank girl costume 2.0.
I have the TANK belt (just made yesterday by my great friend Jason), and also (because I like obscure costumes to see who is as thoroughly geeky as I am) I have a sarah Silverman thing too - a cookie party T shirt I had made up (again by Jason after I geekily drew out the logo in photoshop), and I'll wander around with what looks like a bottle of orange cough syrup when I wear it. Free cookies to anyone who actually knows who I am...
And now, I must work out and go bake stuff and finish off anything world like and officially important things before I figure out how to strap 2 missiles to my chest in a way that still allows me to dance and hopefully not put too many eyes out...
I accept the challenge!

fashionably unconscious

It's very hot today.
What did I see in the hall?
A student in a miniskirt, and high heels with LEG WARMERS.

Leg warmers?
People, I remember wearing those in the 80s as a kid...to keep my legs warm...after skating.
Not in the hall at uni with heels. Next thing you know big hair and neon will be back... (or is it and I"m just not paying attention?)

*sigh*
Am I getting older or do I just have no sense of style?
I prefer to think I have a bit....but this sort of thing, like a toque with a brim - well it worries me.

Someone asked me the other day "what is your style?" ...to which I replied "well I jsut wear what I like". It's true. If I see something I like I wear it.
I'm sure I'll be a batty old lady with mismatched socks and funny hats when I'm older, but hey - I'll be happy - and I won't overheat in some silly fashion trend...

Cunning Plans

 Life is wierd ya know. It seems a lot of things have been hitting me hard lately. Been distant from people, including my partner who is dea...
