Merlin 3x04
Oct. 3rd, 2010 05:10 pmLast night was... urrgh. On the plus side I kept my promise of one drink only (almost) and didn't get drunk. On the minus side I didn't get drunk so I was actually awake all evening. Night. Whatever. Went to bed at 3am. The company wasn't bad but I knew only about 3 people out of 20, and they all knew each other really well, so I had lots of moments when I just stood around wondering what the hell I was doing there.
The one good thing that came out of the evening is that after 22 years I finally have a handbag. Like, a proper one where I can put my keys, wallet, phone and everything else. Because apparently social conventions say that if you're a girl you just can't stuff it in your jeans and jacket pockets. I still kind of fail at going shopping, because going shopping for me is something like... What do I need? Handbag, maybe a new shirt. Which shop? Locate closest likely shop. Enter shop. Find item #1. Buy item #1. Rinse and repeat for item #2. Be home in time for tea.
I seriously don't know how people manage to spend a whole afternoon going from shop to shop. Maybe if I went with someone who had the same taste in clothes as me. But that's unlikely, last time I was in a shop with a friend I commented on how ridiculous one of the dresses on display looked, and it turned out that she owned a dress just like that. Yay, foot in my mouth and all that.
On the other hand I can get completely lost in a good bookstore.
Now on to fannish things and squee and not-so-squee. First things first, I just found out about Colin & Bradley's Quest which confirms my opinion that the boys are adorable, funny and slightly mental.Lemurs and Ye Olde English and did Bradley just say "Captain Wow"?
( Spoilers for the latest eps of Merlin )
Bleh, I should have made my own tea. My brother has a distressing tendency to leave the water lukewarm, or only fill the mug halfway, or leave the teabag in for too long, or all of these.
I do make tea, usually, but today I got distracted by pretty boys.
Now I'd watch the next ep of SPN since last night I couldn't, but I don't have time because... I'm finally off to watch Inception! It finally premiered here last week. What the fuck Italy, why do you have to be so backwards even with film release dates?
Hope it's as good as everyone makes it sound. Expect more squee later in the day.
