...Day Of The Triffids. Swear to God, that's the line I just opened the book at. It's a curse, I tell you. *dies*

Was I the only one that wanted looting!Eddie Izzard to break the shop window and steal a dress? Really? Oh, please yourselves...

My main hope for part two is that Dougray Scott will find a second expression. Too much to ask? You may well think so.

Eeee, thank you to ladybella & nimnod for your cards - it was like international shiny post day!

In other news, thinkpink20 wanted a picture of my tree...

And here's one of the two table decorations I made...

Lame injury of the week: I just twatted myself in the head by walking into the festive bells stuck to the door of our department.

Fail, Suzie, fail.

Aim to please (but shoot to kill)

How much do I NOT want to play this?
interactive chlamydia? er, no thanks.
Ah, the dubious benefits of healthcare mailing lists...*dies laughing*

Ooh, and a belated thank you to nimnod and lifevolutionary for my pretty snowflakes!

While undertaking annual mandatory training reading for work, I've just managed to stab myself in the face - with the corner of the Health & Safety booklet.

The Manager: "Sometimes you've just got to put your foot down. This is our Dunkirk!"
Me: "...I'll get me boat."

Hmmn, have just encountered a thing called a Manometer. I wonder what it registers? *g*

Can you tell I'm bored? Anyway, 2 more hours and then I'm off until Tuesday, woo hoo! The fleshpots of London here I come...

Chips Away!

2009-10-27T19:04:06Z

Someone's just put a flyer through the door entitled "Chips Away". I was genuinely disappointed to discover upon closer inspection that it was advertising a car bodywork firm, and not a fish n chip delivery service. I need to get a life...

In other news, today's canteen menu special was "Baguette filled with hot meat." Is it just me that thinks that's worryingly unspecific? *g*

This may be a stupid question, but why didn't they just build the thing at Legoland in the first place, thereby avoiding any costs and effort involved in dismantling/moving/rebuilding?

Here, have an Alex Pettyfer pic!spam. Because I'm bored, and he's cute. Also, apparently not averse to getting his kit off...

Title quote, incidentally, from Point Blanc, the second Alex Rider book. It may have made me laugh quite a lot. Because I am a child.

Also, apparently he was up for the part of Alex in the Mummy 3. (a) I really, really, really wish he'd done it, and (b) WTF, will he only play people called Alex? *sporfles*

Tanith Lee probably. 2 shelves' worth.

2) What book do you own the most copies of?

Nope.

4) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
Algy Lacey.

Either Ronia The Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren, or Amazon Adventure by Willard Price.

7) What is the worst book you've read in the past year?
Wasn't incredibly impressed with some of the new Doctor Who novels. Some of them read rather like bad fanfic.

Er - possibly the 19 Biggles books I've read so far?

9) If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?

16) What is the most obscure Shakespeare play you've seen?
Coriolanus?

At what, sex? Oh, writing presumably, har har. I'm not sure I've read anything by either.

18) Roth or Updike?
*shrugs*

19) David Sedaris or Dave Eggers?
Who?

20) Shakespeare, Milton, or Chaucer?
Shakespeare to watch, Milton to read. Not that I do. *sporfles*

I think there's a wasps' nest in my chimney.

Heard a buzzing yesterday morning, and found a wasp getting irritated with the net curtains - so I let it out, while wondering where it had come from, as there weren't any windows open. Then a bit later, there was another one. Strange, thinks I, but I'd had the back door open by then, so didn't really think any more of it. Then later again, I heard more buzzing - couldn't see anything in the window, then saw it down by the bottom of the gas fire (disconnected, due to the unique way my landlord is ~~funded~~ motivated). So I let that one out too. And then the fourth one, buzzing at the other window. And I could hear angry buzzing for a while behind the fire.

Now either it's one wasp doing laps for a bet, or the buggers are in the chimney. And I really have no idea how you'd get to them. Cock.
