lolabobstoday I have a man coming round - unfortunately it is a married friend of the family, so I won't be oggling - instead I will be trying to be adult and home-ownery, and getting a quote for central heating.. I have vowed that I will not spend another winter crouched in front of the computer wearing 7 layers of clothing! No more will I have to dare myself to strip for a bath (I have, no word of a lie, taken a bath in a jumper, whilst I did all the leg shaving bits!) Anyway, TMI aside, the man coming means that I am whirling through my house with hoover and duster and trying to pretend that I am not a sloverny, slattern who would be voted out of the 50s housewife club in disgrace.
Thank goodness it is sunny that's all I can say, I can't do housework when it's gloomy (!), oh and I've found where the cat's pee smell was coming from - all the time I have washed the walls, and the cupboards, floors and furniture... the bloody thing peed on the hoover! - the thing I have been moving to get to all the washing surfaces! Argh!
What else? My poorly peugeot is going to the auction today... Dad and I spent Sunday afternoon washing her and making her pretty - (dad used a brillo pad to get a mark off - we had... words is the best way to put it!) I have a reserve of £850 - she's in good condition, new, low mileage.. ah well, we'll see.
I spent the last three days devouring season 3 of The Shield. omg! WOW! I am watching this completely unspoilt, am even putting off hunting for fiction until after I have seen it, so I am watching it with eyes WIDE open. It is so powerful. I watch it with feelings of anxiety for what I can see is going to happen - when characters make bad choices, or you can see things spiralling out of control. I'm not obsessed as such, in that I can function in my day to day business, but if I sit down to watch one episode, it's suddenly 4 hours later and I've seen the whole disc. There are a billion things that I could squee about - but instead I have to GASP. This show has just had a regular, likeable, good guy character strangle a cat to see what it felt like. This is evidently going a lot further, but omg!
Also, and maybe this worried me a little more than I am prepared to admit, but I blameelfinessy and her most recent fic!, one of the lead male characters, very powerful, (very sexy!) was forced into a non con blow job at gun point - and whilst being wowed by the impact this was going to have (and did over a very nicely played out season arc), I also found it worryingly hot!
so many layers to this show though, I have season 4 lined up and ready to go! - and am already mourning the end of the show!
Right, erm, I have Life on Mars on order, have been listening obsessively to David Bowie, and read two excellent fics over the weekend - which I have just remembered I didn't feedback on - will be there later to do that!. I have been in bed for two days of the long weekedn with a migraine, I have spent £150 on bargain clothes, including 4 bra, and am feeling suprisingly positive!
Anyway, I have to go - wash the vacuum cleaner for starters! - I will no doubt be back later!!
