Reason #2981 why I do not use Twitter!

Or: Boring Monster is Boring

Car Woe! Update - Well, the damn thing is going but for how much longer is a matter of debate. On the plus side, I'm not pulling muscles changing gears right now. Even so, there will be a new car in my life before the winter.



Work (and other disasters) - Bad case of 'hand in fever' at work. Symptoms include all computers being used, nearly all study spaces in use, book returns rocketing and students *expecting* you to do their referencing for them. Yup, business as usual!

The Professional Exams Body met last week - my gut tells me that mine went before them. I have no proof but...
Naturally, I will post here once the family and my bosses know. Mind you, if I pass, you shall know me by the high pitched squeaking!



Fannish News - Torchwood - I HAVE TICKETS FOR THE BFI SCREENING! Yes, I will report back. Yes, I am a jammy bugger! After spending waaay too much money on Bond tickets - they owe me;)

Bond - Am still enjoying the films. Moore will never be my favourite Bond (although, I really like 'Man with the Golden Gun' and 'Octopussy') but I only have two more of his before I get to the 'better' Bonds (Dalton onwards). I spotted Joanna Lumley in OHMSS this time around. Also, Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny pwns everyone else. Bar possibly Samantha Bond and Judi Dench.

NCIS - Newly Posted Story!.
Am avoiding the current wank like the plague. Have come to the conclusion that people have short memories. Yes, the Tony/Ziva storyline is sneer-worthy but 'La Grenouille' anyone?
YMMV

Star Trek and other Movies - My current happy place. I'm going to see Star Trek at the BFI (those guys *again*) IMAX at the end of the month. Needless to say, I'll go see it again before then. Ditto Coraline. I'm considering Angels and Demons but I fear that I may end up booking myself a one-way trip to The Special Hell. Ewan 'hubba hubba' McGregor is playing a priest in said film. Yeah.


How are yous guys?

Stop me if you've heard this one.... (hug a newsletter editor today!)

The job of a newsletter editor is a tough one... It's not helped by any of the following:

People who cannot spell the family name of one of the main characters. (Clue - hit 'shift' and 'N' at the same time!)

People who post fifteen (okay, exaggerating somewhat!) drabbles in a day. In fifteen different posts.

People who post twenty chapters of their fic in one post and then the 21st in *another* post.

Also? People who use the 'cutesy' portmanteau names to describe the pairing... should have their internets taken away from them. Although, I find the use of 'Kock' to describe Kirk/Spock to be highly amusing (yes, I have a mental age of six - did it take you this long to work it out?)

The moral of this story? If you subscribe to a fandom newsletter, please spare a thought for the poor bugger who has to *code* the damn thing. They will love you for it!
