Mischief Managed

You'll all be pleased to hear that I survived the first day of the course today and it wasn't too bad at all in fact. I began to suspect that my co-worker had been winding me up about it all at about midday today when psycho lady (and despite her acting like a civilised human being today, I know that she isn't like that all the time - far from it) was being nice to everyone - and yes he was exaggerating. The bastard. Someone was late though and they did have to sing. I am getting there absurdly early tomorrow too because there is no way in hell I'm singing in front of a room full of people.

Some links that I've been too busy to post:

- David Tennant as the Doctor picspam: Doctor Who Suitgasm, linked by just about every DW fan on my flist.

- rossywar makes a convincing case for watching The Mighty Boosh

- gmth makes a great post which invites people to post about what they've gained and lost by being involved in online fandom: What you've gained, what you've lost. Makes me feel a bit more squishy about fandom after the bad taste that reading all that msscribe stuff left in my mouth.

ETA: And it's mid summer today! Longest day! Now I've just got to look forward to it getting cold and dark again...

Oh god. Back to work tomorrow for the first time in a week. At least I don't feel like death warmed up any more, though I still don't really feel 100%.

We managed to get some of the ragwort in the field sprayed yesterday. The stuff we've been using is very satisfying as today you can go round the field we did and see that everything we sprayed is brown and crispy and dead. Now we just need to keep the horses off there for about four weeks while all the dead stuff disappears (it's more palatable when dead).

I'm looking after five of my friend's guinea pigs while she's away on holiday this week (and her horse). All I can say is, she'd better be coming to get them as soon as she gets back on Sunday! They're very cute and adorable, but looking after five of them is a bit too much. I quite like having one of the male ones but five of the females - that's a lot of guinea pig poo! At least we haven't had to mow the back garden since we've had them.

I'm trying to resist using a Mighty Boosh icon but I don't think it's working. *breaks out another Vince icon - he's Mowgli in flares!* I want to write a whole post about how fabulous and weird and slashy they are but I'm restraining myself. For the moment...

(The spell check on Semagic doesn't recognise the word slashy! Imagine that!)

ETA: Wow, I just looked at my LJ calendar and I've been even worse than usual than updating this month. Probably a good thing as all you'd've had last week was semi-delusional ramblings!

Weekend in Leeds great apart from the dreadful weather. Eurovison very amusing especially after a few drinks. Doctor Who fab. Been off work today with a horrendously sore throat and I feel knackered. Now I'm off to bed - possibly to watch some of the DVD commentary on The Mighty Boosh.
