It's windy enough to blow the house away tonight. Kinda wishing I'd bought The Wizard of Oz when I thought about it the other day; it'd either be appropriate for the weather, or a guidebook for what to expect when the house does blow away.

I wish the Wizard of Oz episode of Scrubs would come on now. It'd be one of those awesomely weird coincidences.

Today I stuffed about six hundred envelopes. I was starting to climb the walls, until I went to pick up the last three boxes of questionnaires (better than the *five* my boss freaked me out by promising) and found that they'd all been printed without addresses. Which, since they're all matched to student by barcode, rendered them useless and made me guilt-free over asking for the rest of the week off (to be here if the guys doing the bathroom need anything while the 'rents are at work, I'm not just lazy - okay, not only just lazy). The other two girls can finish up the boxes when they get reprinted; if I see another envelope in the next week, I will scream.

Why could I get tickets from Lancaster to London for £20 but the cheapest I can get from here - at least an hour *closer* - is £41? That is illogical. We are most displeased.

Though- I just checked the same days, same times, for the weekend *before* Easter... and it's £17.20. Uh, [livejournal.com profile] kindoftrouble...

Seriously, not amused British transport system. Go and move to FAILSWORTH.

(One of the questionnaries I enveloped today was going to an actual place called Failsworth. It made all those six hundred envelopes worth it.)

Bah. Stupid train fares. -_-

Haaaappppyy New Year!

Am at [livejournal.com profile] rainy_roz's, stealing her laptop and her internet. [livejournal.com profile] dukedee and Jules randomly turned up on the tipsy side of drunk and [livejournal.com profile] hill2k is wheelbarrow-jousting somewhere in Norfolk. Feel like I'm somewhat letting the side down by sitting here drinking tea and watching random telly but it's good to chill.

There's an episode of Scrubs on that I haven't seen. This seems auspicious for the new year. Hm.

Today I shopped but found no black DCs in my size. Found nice Vans, in my size in grey but grey's not black. There were lovely brown patterned DCs but expensive and also, not black.

Foolishly, I went to check out the Disney Store sale. Have added another few weeks on to my saving time for the Oz trip I think, but have plenty of Disney stuff for when I go. Yay!

So welcome to 2008. I hope it's as good as 2007. I liked 2007.

So another episode of Scrubs I haven't seen, involving Dr. Cox's Porsche (which Top Gear has me saying Poor-shah, even when everyone else says Poor-ssh. It's not annoying at all, really) and what, was I dead during series four or something? May have to beg K to get the episodes I'm missing from the bf who I know has the complete collection. Or, just get him to come over next year with his removable hard-drive and hey, have I mentioned how much I love that K is back next door to me next year? No? I love it beyond *words*.

Room is a disaster of sorting-through-junk. Am surprisingly unbothered by this, given that one of my wardrobes is compltely tidy for the first time in, well, ever.

edit: Also, I got a letter from uni this morning along the lines of "Congratulations on doing well this year, OMG IF YOU SCREW IT UP NEXT YEAR YOU WILL BE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO QUEEN, COUNTRY AND FLUFFY LITTLE ANIMALS EVERYWHERE!!eleventy-one!!!"

...

Okay, not in so many *words*. More encouraging and less terrifying. My main reason for being happy with it is that it cheered the parentals up enough to stop asking if I've sent off my CV to job agencies yet.

That would be no, I haven't. Don't even ask if I've written it yet.

Survived the tent! Survived Casper sticking his head in around 1:30am and biting my fingers, next door watching TV inordinately loudly at stupid times of the night and apparently pissing in buckets too wtf, birds doing their damndest to be feathery little alarm clocks and trains that actually are a lot louder down the garden than from my room. Didn't actually sleep properly because whoever designed lilos to have bumps in them was clearly (a) an imbecile or (b) knew they'd never have to sleep on one but hey, I was nice and cool. :) Score!

I've finished all my series two Scrubs episodes and am now faced with the yawning hole my series 3 dvd refusing to work has left. *sadness* The one series I have pretty much every episode of... Murphy's law I guess. Knowing I can most likely redownload them in a couple of months eases the irritation (is it October yet? I've never wanted holidays to be over so fast) but in the meantime, I sulk. And, watch series four.

... Actually I just looked through the lists of what I've got and I'd doubled up on a few of the series three eps, so I do have some. :D Not so bad after all!

edit: Scrubs, Cox & Kevin Casey:

"Back to you there half-pint."

"Short jokes are a sign of desperation, my friend."

WORD. ;-)

I hate heat. I feel sucky and because I feel sucky I'm staring longingly at the first season of Scrubs on play.com. Season two has better special features but I already have more episodes of it and it's... well, pointless.

I do not need it. Especially since I've spent a fortune on clothes in the last couple of days, half of which have to be changed because they're too small. -_- I'm a small person dammit! How small do you think people should be?!

Okay, so mainly I'm annoyed because I was too stupid to try them on first, but... hot.

Play.com is aware that with the prices the way they are, you can buy seasons 1-3 cheaper individually than in the 'special box set' they're trying to flog, right? Sigh. I don't even know why I'm looking. Stop looking!

It's with a mild sense of horror that I realise I've accomplished nothing in the last week. Absolutely nothing. My existence this week has been a waste of the Earth's oxygen. I really need to get in gear because it's not far off being August and... well, I'm damn well not wasting the entire summer. Because my father would never let me forget it for a start.

Scrubs has the best music.

Was so tired yesterday. Was almost falling asleep watching the Batman movie -- the original. With the camp costumes. The are no words for the insanity -- in [livejournal.com profile] rainy_roz's and I got home and could hardly manage to shift the heap of clothes and pillows off my bed before falling asleep. Summer weather is slowly killing my brain, cell by cell. It's going to get to October and all I'll be left with is mush. I don't *like* mush. >_<

We are not speaking of the wisdom tooth that is still pissing me off. Chewing is fun. Really.

I need to go to town and post office and... and do stuff but... yeah. Even keeping a train of thought going lately is hard.

Cold shower. Yes. Maybe it'll wake me up even a tiny bit.

Eight episodes of Scrubs down, another oh, twenty billion to go. And the voice in my head *already* sounds like J.D.

So far, I've concluded that J.D./Dr. Cox is I think more obvious than J.D./Turk, Jordan would probably be involved at least once and one of my favourite episodes on a purely technical level is 01x15 My Bed Banter, because *damn* it's well put together.

...Can you tell that it's the hottest day on record in Wales and my body chose today, of all days, to wake up with cramps? Yeah. So. How you doin'? ;)

There are no words for how much I need an "I'm melting!" icon.

edit: It's amazing how much I *don't care* that I'm slowly cooking, simply because I'm finallyfinally reading Scrubs slash. Ah internets. Thou ownest mine soul.

I get dinner out later too. For a day that looked bad from the outset, it's shaping up pretty damn shiny after all. :D

edit: Wisdom teeth. Specifically, tooth. Ow. Ow. Unfortunately even if I wanted to go see a dentist, I can't because I don't have one.

Last time I ignored it and it went away. *ponders* I like said strategy.

You know you've started hallucinating when you wonder if there's any pills out there that replicate the feeling of air con without actually having air con -- and the next song on Pandora chimes in right on cue with "Give me drugs..."

In related news, I'm sleeping downstairs on the sofa tonight. Why did I decide to have the constantly hottest room in the house as mine again? Anyone?

My dvd with the entire third season of Scrubs on it isn't working. Nor is my one with some films and the second half of series five. I have woe because dammit, I'll have to download them all again in October. Curses. However I still have the rest of the seasons to watch and it's the perfect mindless entertainment when your brain is mush from heat.
