On twitter between today and yesterday:



If only Brad would tweet. I would love to watch the two of them go back and forth.

Had a rather weird start to the day when I was reading Neil Gaiman's blog and recognised one of the names he mentioned as someone my parents know. The lovely Neil went to school here at a school that's run by the same charitable foundation as the one my father taught at so it's quite likely that we know some of the same people, but it's still a bit strange.

I'm still amazingly bad at updating, mostly because I've been sparing you all too much Merlin squeeing *g* and partly because last week was rather irritating. I was supposed to be going to see "Bright Star" at the local indie cinema but unfortunately the film didn't download for some vague reason or other so they had to cancel it; J's had a cold and cough ( though luckily not swine flu and he is better now); Borders has shut; the rain poured down unceasingly; and Christmas has crept up on me again.

Fortunately the cinema had got its act together today as I went to see "Taking Woodstock". Definitely minor Ang Lee, but still enjoyable.

( Spoilers )

And to justify the title of this post I should mention that my cousin was at Woodstock *g*.

We're off to Lincolnshire at the weekend so I hope the weather is kinder to us than recently!

• 09:03 Could someone just stop the world, please? I'd like to get off at the next exit. #

I have been sent home for looking as though I might die in the office and make the place look untidy. My cold has decided to kick my butt, although when I left home this morning, I didn't feel too bad.

I wouldn't mind, but I had a meeting booked with my boss this morning to talk about my workload and the promised admin support they said I'd be getting by Christmas. Also, I have a hospital appointment this afternoon, so I've got to schlep over to Northampton this afternoon.

I couldn't find anything that said this wasn't allowed here, and didn't hear otherwise, so...I thought I'd share it here, because I loves me some fellow Josh/Donna peeps.

I just got into The West Wing fandom a few months ago. I've been loving it so much (everybody I've talked to is so friendly, intelligent, fun, welcoming), but I'd love to step in and officially introduce myself to everyone, and meet and befriend more West Wing people bopping around LJ. I've seen friending memes out there, had good experiences with them, so I thought I'd give one a shot! Old and new faces to the fandom are welcome! Most of you have probably done these before, but why pass up another chance to connect with some new people in the fandom and make some new friends? Mix, mingle, friend away!

I highly recommend their Christmas Cheers album. It's fun.

Scary video!!!

Right, that's pretty much the Christmas shopping done then. I'll only have to worry about it if something doesn't turn up. And I need to get some vouchers for the kids.

Now I need to check last posting dates to forn parts.

I would just like to add, for those who might be wondering, no marshmallow bazookas were ordered in the course of this shopping spree.

• 19:23 No good deed goes unpunished... Just did my 1st "good" deed in a long time. Hopefully, it won't come back to bite me in the ass. #
