Mischief Managed

I got back from G3 about three-quarters of an hour ago. I'm quite tired now after the drive up the motorway and the fact I didn't go to bed until half past three last night. I had a great time. When's the next one?! ;)

Now I want to sit and watch many episodes of BSG. In reality I'm going to hang the washing out, go and feed the horses (and I've got to scoop some poo, emony ;)) and then finish bubblewrapping some glasses and plates for the trip to Hull tomorrow.

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!

Was BSG on this week? I'm guessing not as I can't find it anywhere. I'm currently in the middle of getting SGA, Supernatural and Heroes. I didn't realise that this was the last SGA of the season. :( Very sad.

I still haven't come down with the Nerd Flu after the con so I think I've escaped it this time. Hurrah! I gave the boyfriend a picture of the Chief that I got signed for him by Aaron Douglas last night. He laughed his head off as intended but he was actually quite chuffed with it despite the fact that he pretends not to be a geek. Heh.

Nicked off fahrbot:


Create your own visitor map!


Edited: because Erin Chambers and Aaron Douglas really aren't the same person!

( Spoilers for SGA 3x18 or 3x14 or whatever the hell the number is - 'Sunday' )

I'm almost all caught up with my TV now. I've got two episodes of Lost to watch, two BSG, the latest SGA and the latest Heroes (which I'm really enjoying by the way!).

David Nykl has been confirmed as an extra guest at Peg 2! Hurrah! That's made me pretty happy! I can't believe it's only a week and a half away actually. It's nearly a year since we booked the tickets!

ETA: There was actually snow on the ground this morning! I think it must be winter finally!

I got back from Serenity² about an hour or so ago. What a fab weekend! I did lots of laughing. I was very glad when Jonathan Woodward turned out to be one of the surprise guests. The previous two statements may be related in some way...

I am very tired now. And I also need to see Goblet of Fire. I think I'll go tomorrow as I have the day off work. Hurrah!

Aaaargh. It's so cold.

Fabulous weekend! I got in about 15 minutes ago and all I've managed to do so far is eat five (5) jaffa cakes that were in my bag, realise that my f-list (on the filter for just people) is on skip=140 and read some emails. Now I'm going to get changed and go and feed the horses. So very tired. But yay! So much Firefly love!

Well, still ill. I feel worse if that is in fact possible. Does eating jaffa cakes count as eating oranges? I was also glad to find out that even if Vicks has a best before date of 1994, it doesn't eat your skin away. Which is good. Have spent the last few days watching DS9 whilst in bed.

I was going to write more about Fusion, but seeing as I feel like something the cat vomited up I'll link you to Lucy's report here as that's mainly what I got up to! Met jenoofer on the platform at the station, made our way to the hotel on the tram and tried to avoid scary Spike man on the tram who was that in character he even stunk of beer. Lovely. ( more random con thoughts )

Well, that wasn't so short was it. That's probably because I never shut up as anyone who met me last weekend can testify!

I totally rule with avoiding spoilers for the Angel that's just aired in the US. Go me! And I'm off for a rendez-vous with my bed, Doctor Bashir and some tissues.

Tissues for my nose! You people are disgusting.

Got back from Fusion a few hours ago and have just got in after going to the field (and yes, Oscar is still lame). I feel kind of floaty. Possibly due to lack of food and sleep. Those painkillers I took on the train really did the trick. Damn hangover.

I had a fantastic time. Got lots of photos and autographs and spent about £4687324468. I daren't look at my bank account now. Tom's hair was actually okay! He was very quiet and I think quite hungover for most of the weekend - I've not seen eyes as red as that for a while! All the Firefly guys were lovely. I <3 Nathan Fillion. He's lovely. Even though I think he thought I was mildly retarded. Some people, mentioning no names *cough*niannah *cough* might even say he was squishy.

I met up with some fantastic people and had a great time. Much more to write but am. so. tired. Now I excuse me while I go and collapse in a heap somewhere.

ETA: Link to Big Damn Zombies, Sir before I forget. Hilarious.
