r_scribblesStolen from many of my FList - Cut & Paste the 1st bit of the 1st entry of each month.
JAN: A very enjoyable New Year's Eve was had at Herr Stadtler's gaffe. It's such a lovely house - most of it still has its original Art Deco decor & fixtures. They should take that whole house to The Antiques Roadshow, they'd make a mint! Mr Chode took some piccies of the festivities which he may be posting at a later date, but let me just say now that the party involved a *lot* of Bratwurst!
FEB: Ah, hubs was supposed to cook the pizza, but he's rang Ian and got into the Gay Prime Minister Debate (points at inchode's journal) - All three of us enjoy a good politcal argument (as you've probably guessed) so I thought I'd best put tea on for fear of starving to death.
MARCH: HAPPY ST DAVID'S DAY EVERYBODY!!!
Alackaday, my daffs didn't open in time, but I'm wearing a yellow bud with pride, I may not visit the Land Of My Fathers (and to quote Able Seaman Goldsteam, my Aunties and Uncles as well) as much as I aught to, but by God it's a beautiful country. Rolling mountains, ancient castles, twinkling lakes and rivers, erm... Pontypool town centre, Rhyl beachfront... Yeah! Plus my flag has a FUCKING DRAGON on it! Man, my Nationality's cool!
APRIL: I've just finished Chapter 3 of 'Santa, Baby...' http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2845855/5/ and clicked on my website out of curiosity... it's just gone over 4000 hits! Yippee!
MAY: I went to the cinema this evening. The trailers I saw were for The Omen, Mission Impossible, Superman and The Poseidon Adventure. Apparently I had slipped through some sort of vortex and into the late 70s. I didn't even know they were remaking The Omen and Poseidon Adventure!
JUNE: Thankyou for my prezzies, Sealgirl!
JULY: Hmm. Empire's review of Pirates 2 is up - it's only got 3 stars. An ill omen, since they're usually pretty on the nose with their reviews. Their main complaint is there's too much work put in to getting all the characters back - even the really minor ones like Raggetty and Mister Badger, and apparently it's not as much fun as Pirates 1, which is the main reason I loved the original one so much - maybe because it was expecting to flop it let itself go all silly, which was great, whereas this second one... they *know* it's going to make a packet.
AUG: Still no Broadband. It's BT's fault again, and they're being slow about it too, so it's back to crappity old Dial Up for a while.
However... *looks around new dining room/study* it's starting to feel like we actually live here now. We finally have bed, sofa, parking permit so we don't have to keep changing the daily vouchers and the ground floor is now reasonably clear of crap. Next stop: the bedrooms!
SEPT: We got the first series of Duckula through from Screen Select last night, and Hubs wondered aloud whether Igor and Nanny are also Undead. We decided that they must be, if they've been serving the Duckula dynasty for generations. And that made me quite sad. Also, how comes Duckula suffers all of the side-effects of Vampirism (no reflection, can be killed by a stake through the heart) but can walk around in broad sunlight without any difficulty? He could at least have needed a sun umbrella or something. Brilliant toon, though. The credit sequences kick all kinds of arse.
OCT: What a weekend. Spent much of it sitting in traffic, and then an attempt to do 'an hour or so of writing' actually lasted all night and resultd in my finishing and posting the end of the next story of Remain The Same. Here is is. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2845855/11/
NOV: I'm blatantly not going to do 50K - despite having a whole evening to myself tonight I've only managed 700 before running out of steam, but I should get a nice wodge done so i can go back to it.
DEC: And a big 'Hooray!' to this piece of news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6196910.stm
Whee! A little late for me since come this summer I can't percieve that I'll be going to pubs or restaurants very often, but still - Yay! Smoke as much as you like, my friends, smoke yourself to death if you please but don't get that filthy fag ash all over everybody else, ta. My enjoyment of a dinner out has been ruined too many times by some twatbadger who decides to light up a ciger (ewwwww!!!) with his coffee, with no care that the rest of the people in the restaurant he's stinking out are still eating, too many times have I woken up from a night out with my hair, coat, clothes, sheets and pillows all still reeking of other peoples' smoke. And people don't give a toss if you're preggo either - admittedly it's mostly outdoors in which smoking still won't be banned but I've had smoke blown in my face several times while visibly Bumped Up.
