clo_againI've seen the ad for New 'Who The Waters of Mars three times now and it gets MORE BUGFUCK CREEPY EVERY TIME. I think it may actually be a cue for hiding-behind-the-sofa once again because, sheesh. Even the trailer gives me the heebie-jeebies. Thankfully there's brand new Top Gear on the same night to chill me out after. :D
Speaking of Top Gear,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kindoftrouble bought me a wind-up version of Hamster's Dampervan as part of my birthday present. Last night I decided it was long past time for it to have a ceremonious launching and filled the bath with water. Only about six inches, so that the inevitable sinkage wouldn't involve me getting soaked to the shoulder fishing it out.
Here is the Dampervan when just unwrapped, clueless to the ordeal that awaits.
I was a little sad that I hadn't nothing to stand in for Hamster (well I do have an actual hamster but Barnabas is somewhat geriatric these days and has trouble with things like stairs and climbing into his food bowl, so swimming might've been too much to ask) but I chose to believe he was represented inside at the wheel and soldiered on. The dramatic launch took place at the sloping end of the bath to accurately represent the show... *cough* AND:
Yes, IT FLOATS. RATHER WELL. Clearly Hamster needs Marks and Spencers to give him lessons in boat-building! The back end does sink slightly once the propeller stops and it only steers in one direction - right - so it tends to whack the sides of the bath but a lake is much bigger and the sides are further away so I'm sure it'd work fine.
I do rather want to pick up the other two and race them on an actual lake, or at least a large duck pond to get the right scale. Really want. We would need something to represent the TG boys for that though. Maybe Lego people. Hm.
The Dampervan is now in dry dock on the side of the bath by the way and recovering well from the ordeal.
As you can see, my life is filled with business! I'm trying to write NaNo and mostly failing due to my laziness combined with overtime at work (first time ever I have to do overtime and it's the first week in November. NOT. AMUSED. UNIVERSE. Working tomorrow for the sixth day in a row and it's just... give me a break. Seriously). Don't expect posts to increase much over November though because as much of a pain in the ass as NaNo is, I'm still writing a bit a day and working my up to it takes hours of flaffing around uselessly. Procrastination takes time and hard work! It'd be easier just to write the damn NaNo but try telling that to my brain. Sigh.
