things. many parentheses.
26 Nov 2007 02:39 pm1) Why haven't I seen Razor yet? This baffles me tremendously, and yet every time I consider downloading it, I find I simply can't be bothered. WAKE UP FAHYE. NEW BSG. (This is probably the deciding sign that the apocalypse is nigh Bones has supplanted BSG has the show of my heart, even though they are such very different shows that I don't really feel bad about assigning them both Fave Show status.)
2) My cousin from Birmingham was here for a few days before heading off to her fellowship in paediatric dentisty in Sydney (& she's coming back for the weekend of my 21st! booyah!) and she taught me how to use my hair straightener for quick-and-nasty everyday straightening. DON'T MOCK. I have no elder sisters and my mother has had very short hair for as long as I can remember, so I've never had anyone to show me things like hair & makeup. I am still uncomfortable around eyeliner. BUT ANYWAY, my hair looks slightly more like normal hair and less like someone attacked the bottom of it with a curler and made it flick out in strange directions, which is how it dries when I just leave it be.
3) Last night I saw the first half of the new BBC Jane Eyre (Toby Stephens as Rochester <33!!) and I'm currently reading A Room With A View, which has been on my pile for a short eternity, and LOVING IT. (Note that I have read very little literature. I chased the Shakespeare courses around the senior English department and so was never made to read anything important that wasn't, um, Shakespeare.) It's a great book, all relationshippy in a way that makes me feel like I'm reading delicious guilty trash, but, obviously...it's not trash. It's very sly and poetic. WIN-WIN. I even went to the DVD store and hired the movie, which has Helena Bonham Carter in it (I am trying to imagine her NOT playing a crazy goth lady; it's hard) and I'll watch that once I finish the book, which should be within the next hour :)
4) Skating this afternoon, because the Christmas festival is this weekend and I need one final session of bullying my sister & her friend into synchonicity.
5) My Mantoux test was reviewed today (I don't have TB! lucky me!) which means I can FINALLY start taking my antihistamines again. Which means I will no longer feel like my skin is trying to eat me alive. THANK GOD.
