serially yours

so, i've been without the pretty acer for three weeks now

three whole weeks

there's many things i miss about having teh interwebs for my own self:

• youtube
• lolcats
• blogging
• interweb banking
• itunes
• facebook
• interweb dating
• fast food ordering
• purchasing (including yet not limited to books, dvds, perfume and clothing)

organising flash and exciting yet tantalisingly still 9 days away holiday

so to fill my evenings i'm binge-watching tv series again

in the last 3 weeks i've managed to view the following:

• 30 rock season 3
• spaced season 1
• spaced season 2
• how i met your mother season 1
• my name is earl season 1
• how i met your mother season 2
• my name is earl season 2

movie wise:

• mermaids
• office space
• couples retreat
• year one

so, quite obviously cerebrally and intellectually taxing fare

because, well

look

if i have to spell it out for you, you don't need to know, now, do you?

i can't get no satisfaction

"and the turnaround time for delivery of your new screen from acer to us is 10 - 24 days. from then it will take us about an hour to put it in, and then we'll ship it back to you"

but

i

want

it

now

gis it me

can not has

these are trying times indeed:

no boyfriend (irreconcilable differences)
no pretty acer laptop (screen farked and brokened, insurance claim pending)
no booze (no no, thank you, metronidazole)

all facilitated within a 24 hour period last friday, and then i had to go to night shift, first of two.

and not the pretend night shift that other people say they have to do, the real 2230 - 0700 deal.

so let's pollyanna it up a bit:

i've slipped back into the comforts of the 9 million thread count egyptian cotton sheets whilst drowning in the third series of '30 rock' and series one and two of 'spaced'. sustaining me through this extremely taxing endeavour has been carbs of all and any description, and ice cream. lots and lots of ice cream.

i've been reading like a drowning person swims - vigorously, desperately, urgently. i've missed it more than i thought, and i need to go back to the liberry - if they'll have me. instead of a person on the other side of the bed, there's now five books. and an empire magazine. and my contents insurance policy.

i have ridden my flash cool bike a bit (although yesterday i nearly fell off into the path of rushing rush hour traffic rushing along portsmouth drive and it would have been squishy time for chirsty) and i'm sure i tasted an endorphin at one point.

it's nearly holiday time for this little kitten, and i get to go away, far far away and see lots of bands and pretend it's the mid 1990's and that i still think i'm going to be happy and sorted by the time i hit 35.

so far i give 2010 3/10

definitely room for improvement.
