liptonrm_backupWow, I felt downright awful last night. Nausea, pain, the works. I thought I might be catching the flu but I think it was just more fibro crazy. Stupid crazy. I also spent all day yesterday feeling like my tendons were just about to come undone, like my hip or something was suddenly going to unattach itself from the rest of my body. It was most disconcerting.
Anyway, enough of that. Miraculously, classes don't start up again until the 12th, so I have a wonderful bit of me time till then. I've already put the new dvd player to good use watching some BSG and Gone Baby Gone. Gone Baby Gone is a terrific movie but it's also really depressing, so if you're going to watch it I recommend you wait till you're in the mood for considering complicated moral issues. I should be getting Stardust in the mail today, which should be a welcome relief from angst and woe.
Speaking of watching things, I tried out that Leverage show on TNT. I was going to give it a pass but then I heard it had Aldis Hodge so I had to catch at least one episode. It's not a bad show, but it's also no Hustle. If you're looking for con artists with a heart of gold I suggest the British version over the American, they take themselves less seriously and seem to have more fun.
Which reminds me that there was a bit of business announced over the weekend. We know who the new Doctor is, don't we? I have to say, I was semi-excited when the rumors were flying about Paterson Joseph or Adrian Lester but the announced actor has kind of dampened that enthusiasm. Now I remember why I shouldn't pay attention to spoilers or casting rumors, they only disappoint me in the end. I'm sure the New Kid will do a fine job blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda, I was just sort of hoping that the Adrian Lester rumor would be true. I kind of really love Adrian Lester.
Apparently weird things are going on with the Overlords who rule LJ. *sighs* Well, I did set up that account that I've never looked at again over at InsaneJournal, so if anything happens I'll be able to pick up the pieces, I suppose. Oh, LJ, just because fandom is quiet (at this exact moment) doesn't mean you have to pick up the wank slack. You don't have to do that for us, really you don't.

Date: 2009-01-07 01:05 pm (UTC)I would have loved to see Adrien Lester as the Doctor, too, but
As for LJ... I just can't find the energy to panic. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that it would shut down without a few days' warning, so I'm going to ignore everything till then. Though, for the record, I don't really think the "everything" that people are freaking out about is likely to turn out to be "anything."

Date: 2009-01-07 03:09 pm (UTC)It's excellent to know that Adrian Lester is going to be on the next series of Hustle, even though the excitement is somewhat muted due to the absence of our dear Danny Blue. *sighs* But all will be well, I'm sure.
*shakes head at LJ* I'm not going to panic until the sky really is falling. And I'd take people's flailing a little more seriously if things like this didn't happen every few months. Seems like just another storm to weather.
*hugs you*
