I've just got myself a load of new icons because I can't remember the last time I uploaded a new one.

Yesterday I went to Wilkinsons for various bits and bobs and thought I'd get a new knife for the stables for cutting up apples and other horse related food items. The girl at the checkout then proceeded to ask how old I was when I bought it! She did look a bit sheepish when she realised that I was probably getting on for ten years older than she was. I can't even buy a vegetable knife without getting IDed! She probably shouldn't have sold it to me though as I managed to slice my finger with it this morning. Blood everywhere. D'oh. On the plus side I got some new jeans with my birthday money and they fit and they're nice. It's very rare for those things to happen when I buy a pair of jeans.

Well, wasn't that entertaining.

This afternoon I was doing the vacuuming. Our nice Dyson vacuum got a bit wrecked when our next door neighbour fitted the shower the other week. To cut a long story short, the cylinder fell off as I was vacuuming and I decided to stick a Crunchie wrapper into the hole that the air was sucking into (as you do (!!) - what a frigging idiot). Unfortunately that hole was one that wasn't supposed to be exposed and it sucked the wrapper in and made a very worrying noise as it tried to get into the motor and filter. I then spent the next half an hour getting increasingly more dirty and annoyed as I took the vacuum to pieces using an electric drill with a screwdriver attachment. I won though. I extracted the Crunchie wrapper, screwed all the bits back on in the right place and finished the vacuuming! Hurrah!

hurrah

Found my toilet bag! \o/

...

It was in my rucksack where I originally thought it was. And I still don't know where my waterproof trousers are...

Aaaargh. I have just bitten the end of my tongue while eating shepherd's pie and now it hurts to talk because it's swelled up at the end. How do I do these things to myself?! D'oh.

There's one thing I really hate about anonymous comment memes and it's nothing whatsoever to do with wankiness - why the heck can't people tell the difference between replying to the post and replying to the comment?! There are always tons of random comments littered all over the thread. ... Hmm, I think I'm getting irrationally annoyed by things this evening. Stupid tongue.

Ow.

Just been to the dentists. No problems, remarkable dental hygiene, blah, blah, blah. Go to pay my thirty-five pounds. Put my card into the chip and PIN machine and the receptionist SNAPS MY CARD. Whoops. And no, I've never seen that happen before either. I did laugh rather a lot - what else can you do! And then she says to me - you'll not be spending much money tonight will you. You're quite right - NO I WON'T. D'oh. And I've just had the pleasure of being cut off twice while phoning the bank to get a new card.

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] casirafics just posted this fabulous Neil Gaiman quote from Locus on the topic of potential Good Omens sequels:

"We'd probably use Crowley and Aziraphale because they are just such a wonderful device, a lovely authorial creation -- they work very well. On the other hand, I have to say, we now live in a universe in which we are now competing for ownership of C & A with several hundred thousand young ladies who like to write about their erotic adventures on the Internet. Crowley and Aziraphale slash is apparently something that anybody who's bored of writing about sexual high jinks at Hogwarts nips over and does something with our favorite demon and angel...."


ETA: From [livejournal.com profile] featureannounce - "Changed the upload userpic form so the "Make this your default picture" option is not selected by default". Yay! That used to piss me off a disproportionate amount.

Today's comedy injury comes from the department of being nutted by your own horse. I've now got a very painful right eyebrow due in large part to the ridiculous hardness of horse skull. That'll learn me not to stand with my head directly above a feed bucket while it's being eaten from.

Weather update: bloody freezing.

Hurrah!

I have found a cinema in Nottingham that is showing Brokeback Mountain next week! Hurrah! I have caught the evil and annoying fly and thrown it outside to die in the cold! Hurrah! My friends are coming up for New Year tomorrow. Hurrah! I have just accidentally punched the washing machine with the knuckle of my little finger and given myself a bruise and jarred my arm and shoulder! Hurrah! Bollocks. Why does the washing machine hate me?
odycee: (Doctor Who - Dalek...Fuck)
I've just got back from my weekend in Leeds and I thought I'd do some washing as my jeans are very muddy from a walk on Ilkley Moor. I've just looked at the washing machine and realised that there must have been a tissue in one of the pockets. *headdesk* Anyone volunteering to help me pick the bits of tissue off all my clothes?

Oh crap

Oh man. I think I've just fried my sound card by plugging my stereo into the microphone jack. Just don't ask. It's making permanent crackling noises. From a quick look on the Dell website it's integrated with the motherboard. Fuckity fuck. Fuck. And I just bought some new speakers.

I can't believe how much use I'm getting out of this cretinousness tag.

Fuck.

ETA: I'm just going to add a aaaaaargh. And now I'm going to bed. :(

I forgot to set Lost to download this morning before I went to work. RAGE.

Foo!

Packing for tomorrow has been somewhat delayed by this evening's cretinousness. I just did a washer load of washing. And left the washing liquid ball on the side. Aaaaargh!!!! Fool!

D'oh

I just nodded off while I was lying on my bed for five minutes and got up thinking I'd get ready for bed and just go to bed properly. I staggered into the bathroom to wash my face and didn't realise that I had my glasses on until I'd smeared gloopy face wash all over them. Almost as good as that time I wandered round the house for five minutes looking for my glasses only to discover I was wearing them. And I only realised because my housemate told me.
