Writer's Block: Desert Island Time

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm gonna cheat with this. Only fair I give you warning!


1. Torchwood. Series 1 & 2 boxset.  Yes such a thing does exist. Live w/o Torchwood? Not worth living.

2. Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Entire series boxset.  Cos Buffy is Buffy and it may age (season one) but it's still awesome.

3. Queer as Folk (US). Entire series boxset.  The dvd player will have to be multi-region as this monster only exists as region 1, and possibly whatever the chinese region is. Because I need to know how it ends. Only seen seasons 1-4 and not 5. I've read the ending but need to see it with my own eyes before I believe it.

4. The House On Haunted Hill. The remake.  The only horror move that has managed to scare me. Recently bought the dvd but haven't had time to watch it yet.

5. Teachers (UK). Entire series boxset.   The funniest TV programme ever.

Bramham Horse Trials 2008. Cross Country Day

Backing up all my photos online & posting them to lj to be able to find them all easier.

A lot of these aren't great, but for action shot with a poor quality camera I think they're pretty amazing. Click for bigger.

there are more to come but livejournal doesn't seem to want to post anymore in this entry

A Thing Of Things

• Going to see Friday 13th tonight at 11.35pm. Late night horror flick at the cinema? Hell yeah!

• Was reading Son Of A Witch yesterday whilst waiting for my Materials Lab. Finished page 186 (or there abouts), looked at next page to find out it was page 263. Brilliant. No pages had been ripped out. No gap in the spine. No missing pages elsewhere. Safe to say wasn't impressed. Did no one else who had read that copy notice? Will be having a trip to the library to complain/inform them. Thank god for eBooks. Albeit with different page numbers.

• Dr Black was running said Materials lab and asked me to stay behind and speak to him. I was thinking 'oh fuck'. It obviously showed as he went on to explain he wanted to discuss mix designs for my dissertation. The new baby (Grace) is making it difficult for him to keep up with what everyone's doing and it's worrying him.

• When discussing this he said to me 'Rachel spotted your nails'. Shit. Fuck. and all the words inbetween. I was trying to think up a way of politely saying 'if you're about to tell me to cut my nails I'm doing a different dissertation'. Luckily this speech was not needed. Apparently if I'm comfortable with working with long nails (why would they be long if I wasn't?!) then they would take special precautions so I could use the machinery. *pumps fist in air*

• Still need to book hotel for Avenue Q. Someone remind me to do that later.

• 8 and a bit days til my first con! Wooooo

• Why is everything the same weekend? Leeds Unis summer ball. Collectormania. Utopia. probably Bramham Horse Trials.  I wanna go to Utopia as Gareth David Lloyd and James Moran are doing it. But with that being the saturday and london it wipes out pretty much everything else. Collectormania is the entire weekend and is in Milton Keynes. assuming spatch wants to do the entire weekend. There's no one I wanna see at that so far. Bramham Horse Trials is Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun. Normally just do Sat/Sun unless is brilliant weather and then I burn badly on the Friday! Only made it to three years so far. Actually might be four as I think one year I just did the friday. That would still allow me to do the Summer Ball -assuming other people want to go. My final year at uni but most people are staying on for another year and Katy Perry isn't likely to make my friends want to go. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
