bits and bobs

I don't seem to have posted in August yet. I've been about, reading and sometimes commenting, but fandom seems to have lost its squee at the moment. People are either bitching about LJ or bitching about people bitching about LJ. I'm not leaving LJ at any point in the near future (although I do have a GJ, JF, IJ and Vox account under this name) because I like it here, I like all my friends here and my activities and the things I enjoy haven't been affected too badly. I'm not going to weigh in on the whole debacle because I think enough people have already. I will say that I think LJ has handled it all very badly (again. Was there no learning curve the first time round?) in terms of both inconsistency and communication.

I'm beginning to feel a bit stressed now by the whole move thing. I'm still excited about it all, but there's so much to organise! Even sorting out the removal van seems to be taking forever (and OMG - how expensive?! Luckily my company is paying for it!). I'm finding it so hard to motivate myself at work too. I've got so much work to do for the end of the month and I've got quite a lot of days off between now and then and I still can't give myself enough of a kick up the backside to get it done.

I'm off to the Thistle Hotel at Heathrow tomorrow for Galactica 3 where emony and maryavatar will both be too! niannah, we'll miss you. :( I'm a bit sad that Aaron Douglas and Michael Trucco won't be there but I'm quite excited that Alessandro Juliani (Gaeta) is going to be there, and of course, Callum Keith Rennie. I'm just watching the last few episodes of season three again. I can't wait for season four to start!
