• 11:01 Bloody Hell! Going to have to try to be funny now @AIannucci is following me. Gah! The pressure! #
• 11:06 I might just occasionally put a giant hat over Armando's eyes and pretend I can't see him. My 2 yr old informs me that this is hilarious. #
• 11:07 Oh yum yum yum. First cup of coffee since Monday. It is so goooood. #
• 13:41 Oh, it's sunny and warm and I feel well again. Just been for lovely walk round Canters. Saw a Monk. Always a good sign. #
• 15:52 Idea for new Sitcom: "Monk-y Business" - 2 Fransiscans trying to run a small catering service together. #
• 15:55 Failing that, I always have heartwarming, German Lighthouse set dramedy "Many Hans Make Light Work" to fall back on. #
• 18:55 Hubs has bettered 'Monk-y Business' with 'Monk e-Business', where they have an online consultancy. That Marketing Diploma wasn't wasted! #

Rollercoaster - The Best Intentions part 2

More Rollercoaster, chums and chum-ettes. Oooh, and I have two of the randomest warnings ever to attach to this one. The first is that there is a very minor, 3rd Party hint at P/C Closeness, which I know certain members of my FList would rather avoid - the second is that this chapter includes a Spoiler for the end of the stage version of Alan Menken's 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Yes, the play's about 30 years old, but people complained when Paul Merton spoiled 'The Mousetrap' on the Beeb back in the 90s. Yarrr. Fairly warned by me be ye.

'He seems afraid of me.' 'THAT'S BECAUSE YOU FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE HILLS!'

We finally got Insurrection from Love Film a few days back. I figured, even if I wasn't going to use that film in Rollercoaster (undecided so far as to whether I will) I should really see it at least if I was going to take the story through to Nemesis and beyond.

So tonight we decided to brave it. And, you know what, if you have an excellent Snarking Partner like wot I do, it's not actually that bad. It does, however, appear to be a film about absolutely nothing. We watched about an hour of it tonight and nothing happened. Actually, a bunch of barely connected nothings happened, but funny nothings nontheless - made funnier by Hubs' comments. 'Would *you* like to satisfy a Big One?' was my personal favourite, although I ruined the moment shortly after by claiming Picard was walking onto a bridge to 'furiously crack one off all night long'.
This just about pipped -
RIKER: I don't think Dr Crusher can give me what I need.
HUBS: Yes she can. You, and every man on the ship.
ME: Says so on the door of the Ladies' Loos.

We've just got to the bit where Picard's wearing a leather jacket and the two people he wants to stay behind are, conveniently, the only ones still wearing uniforms. Fun times.

I am definitely using the phrase 'Think he's gone a little bit "Daisy, Daisy" in the Mainframe' later in the story, though. I wouldn't have come up with that one without this silly film.

Kind of have a hankering to rent out Generations, now. More silly, snarkable fun, with a FUCKING STARSHIP CRASH in the middle.
