Mischief Managed

I watched the Supernatural finale last night.

( brief spoilers )

I love this show more and more and I can't wait for next season now. The season one box set has been sitting in Tesco tempting me every time I walk past it...

I'm in London for two days tomorrow on a medical devices training course. Not the most interesting thing in the world but it should allow me to do some more interesting stuff at work. The upside is that I've got a king sized bed for the night and can charge stuff to the company. The downside is that my taxi to the train station is booked for quarter to six in the morning. That's obscenely early.

Aaaargh. I've just bashed my elbow and it hurts all the way down to my little finger. Ow.

I watched Supernatural. OMG. I love that show. I'm going to have a gruelling download schedule: Supernatural, BSG, Nip/Tuck, Lost and SGA (when it comes back). No wonder I never actually watch TV.

I missed a couple of birthdays - Happy Belated Birthday to lykaios and maryavatar!! :D Better late than never, eh? ;)

You remember how I said I didn't find Jenson Ackles particularly attractive? Pretty, yes, but not 'set your knickers on fire' attractive? Well for some reason, when he has a beard, he totally is. Thanks to meivocis for the link!

I've been having driving lessons for the last few weeks and I had my third one this evening. I had about twenty-five or so lessons five years ago and so I'm slowly remembering what I should be doing now! Of course, when I had my lessons before, it was when I was living in the middle of nowhere near Aberdeen (north-east Scotland) where there was only one set of traffic lights, no roundabouts, no traffic and many one track roads. It's a bit of a shock to the system now to have to dodge parked cars and try and avoid running over idiotic children on bikes. I did my first ever roundabouts today and it wasn't too bad actually (probably because the roads were deserted because everyone bar me was watching the football - the lack of cars on the road was bizarre). I had a moment when I went into fourth instead of second when I was on the roundabout but apart from that it was great.

Wednesday and Thursday next week I'm going on a project management training course with work. I'm very frightened because it's being run by the really scary lady that's made quite a few people resign. I'm just going to try and appear invisible so she doesn't single me out for anything. Then again, she'll probably single me out because I'm trying to appear invisible. Do you think anyone will mind if I take my duvet to hide under?

I bit the bullet and went on ebay the other night to get an electric fence energiser to replace the one that was nicked last weekend. I'm still very pissed off about that. They made up with about £400 worth of stuff. Why are people such shits? People keep asking me if we've got insurance or we're going to get it. I keep explaining that it's very hard to get contents insurance for unoccupied outbuildings (especially when it's an old lorry back and not even made from brick) on land you don't own but no one seems to believe me. If anyone has any suggestions - speak up!

I've only got two episodes left to go of Supernatural season 1 now. I think I may need some icons. But not icons of the episode with the murderous painting because it really freaked me out! I really should stop watching it just as I'm about to go to bed!

Apart from watching Supernatural I've been feeling very disconnected from fandom recently. I've not got much time in the evenings at the moment and there's no new shows on. Are there any fabulous fics that I should have read recently? McKay/Sheppard, Sirius/Remus (I was listening to VAST's 'I Don't Have Anything' song on the way home today and felt all nostalgic for some good old S/R angst fic) or maybe Jared/Jenson?

Why does my internet always die just as I'm about to post?

I've watched the first five episodes of Supernatural now courtesy of niannah (and ispahan). I'm actually really enjoying it even if it is freaking me out a little on occasion! I don't see my self rushing to read any Wincest in the near future, or indeed any Jared/Jenson, but never say never. I still can't remember which one is Sam and which one is Dean, but I do like Jenson Ackles character and I like the fact that they drive around with a boot (trunk) full of weapons in the car! I was pleased to spot Lt. Cadman in that aeroplane episode.

Neil Gaiman has mentioned The Mighy Boosh before in his blog (I think he was watching it with his daughter) and today he tells us that one of them is rumoured to be playing one of the dead princes in the upcoming Stardust film. Awesomeness.

Yesterday morning I went into town for various things and went into the Pier. I got a really nice picture frame and a glass candle holder that holds nine tea lights. I love the stuff in there. I keep being tempted by the gorgeous throws but they're in excess of £100 and I'll only get cats sleeping all over them so there's no point. I was going to ride Kaz in the afternoon yesterday but it would have been too hot for her when I was able to go. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this weekend but it's not fair to get her lathered up with sweat really. And in case you were wondering, my throat is better again today. Fingers crossed I won't be in for another flare up.
