Here is a river that leadsto the Mississippi.

I just saw Elizabethtown from start to finish for the first time. It's even better when you've seen the beginning and know what is actually going on. Also, Orlando Bloom is beautiful. He really is. I couldn't care less what his acting might be like (though dude, he's getting better. He has facial expressions now) because he's just fun to watch. Because he's pretty and I am shallow. Yes.

I should rewatch LotR sometime you know. I haven't seen it for a few years and considering one quarter of my dissertation was on Tolkien? I am a bad fan.

Last night I stayed up until 4am again to watch Raw; I thought I'd check out the beginning to see what the main match was and then maybe record it and sleep. However, they clearly had no sympathy for my lazy and gave me Jeff Hardy/Shawn Michaels, so I stayed up and amused myself through the matches I didn't give a monkey's about by contemplating how to slash tennis players with wrestlers and possible pairings.

By 4am I'd come up with a list of why Roger could be slashed successfully, completely inexplicably and with all the apparent personality clashes, with Jeff and what it would involve. I'd also arbitrarily picked out Jericho/Andy. And because I know what I'm like when I sleep and that I'd have forgotten it all by the morning, I did a "quick" private LJ post summary which took until 5am and went something like, among other things: ( Jeff painting patterns of body paint onto Roger )

I should go to bed, since I have to be awake for washing and job centre calling and Cloverfield tomorrow. More would get done if we needed less sleep.

Stand on the grassy knoll and shout "Duck!"

So after a blissful week of shiny internet in my room? The network adapter thing my brother gave me and swore was awesome, is broken. Again. Past the point of no return it seems, since even unplugging it/replugging it in, my failsafe method up until now, didn't work. Not even reinstalling it all, because the 'device won't start'. So back to the laptop it is and my brother's getting angry text messages amounting to "FIX THIS."

How difficult can it be to get the internet to work in my room? Apparently very. Ack, I hate being back on the laptop mouse.

On the plus side, Cloverfield was good. I kept thinking how stupid they all were and how they really didn't deserve to live, until I realised that ( sort of spoilers )

It did make me feel kinda bad though, because if monsters attacked Manhattan? I would totally be glued to LJ and youtube and Sky News going "OMFGMONSTERS GIVE ME MORE PICTURES AND INFO AND PICTURES" and yeah, worrying about the people there but in that nebulous sort of way you worry when big disasters happen on the other side of the world and you don't know anyone there. You watch big Hollywood movies where the US army waltzes in and blows up some buildings to defeat the bad guys and you never really think 'but there might've been people stuck in there', you think 'yay! The hero made it!' or 'yay! Building go boom!" It's good how Cloverfield gives you that perspective.

...yeah. That's all I got from my interesting life. Torchwood was pretty good this week*, except I didn't see the BBC3 one that I just read all the spoilers for and now I'm wishing that I'd watched it, because bzuh? Totally cannot see that lasting.

Tomorrow I get to do the four stacks of washing that I didn't make it through today. *gloom* Funsies.


*Okay, except for the cheese. But those glimmers of something that could be a really good show do surface every now and then. Maybe by series ten they'll be Buffy good. Possibly. It could happen.
