Angelic Paranoia

What I Just Finished Reading No Job for the Little Girl by Rosemary Scadden. This was a pretty short book that I picked off my to read shelf when I was trying to read the book below. It’s about Welsh girls that went into domestic service, mainly in London, in the 1920s and 1930s. And… Continue reading

I watched Strictly at the weekend. Well, judging by how long it took me to get through the episode, I actually watched less than a third of it. I can’t watch all the celebrities, the same way you get to know the comedians on Taskmaster. But I’m permanently behind on TV and can’t watch that… Continue reading

Game of Thrones started again last week and I still haven’t seen the last series. But instead I’ve been watching two old things with ‘The’ in the title. The Avengers I went to my parents last weekend and Dad mentioned The Avengers is on weekdays. So we watched a couple of Steed & Peel episodes…. Continue reading

I didn’t mean to go a week between posts, but I’ve had the lurgy. Still got it, really, but at least some of the symptoms have gone. I was off work with it, which meant I had lots of time to watch stuff and read books and then discovered I didn’t have enough energy for… Continue reading

A break from fandom snowflake stuff for some real life TM. Mainly because I came over dizzy last night for no reason. I’m not that bad – I made it into work and worked all day – but can’t be doing with too much thinking. It’s really frustrating because I was doing really well after… Continue reading

The thing with being dizzy is that when you’re really bad, lying down and doing very little makes you better. But after a while you have to remind your brain that actually it’s not normal for the room to be spinning and lying down and not doing much doesn’t help with that. So this weekend… Continue reading

I’m terrible with wanting to try a book/film/TV series that’s popular. There were four Harry Potter books out and a film on the way before I decided that maybe it was popular for a reason and perhaps I’d try it. Of course by that time the first book was really cheap because it had been… Continue reading

Exciting news: Red Dwarf is getting a new series! Despite Back to Earth not living up to series I-VI I’m excited anyway. I spent last weekend updating all my Firefoxes to 3.5. My laptop and Firefox Portable were on v3 already, so it was just a case of clicking the button and updating a couple… Continue reading

Today, or yesterday depending on how you count it, I’ve been ill for seven months. Things I have been doing: Watched Generation Kill, which turned out to be surprisingly good. After seven episodes I can name seven characters, which is pretty good going (Ray, Trombley, Reporter, Brad, LT, Captain America (who I recognise from somewhere… Continue reading

This week hasn’t been too bad a week. It helped that it was only four days long and working from home Thursday afternoon. Although I spent the whole week confused so I forgot that it was the day I buy the newspaper until Thursday evening. It is all on the website, it’s just such a… Continue reading
