Not perfect.. but with limited resources...

Of course, the problem when you write a fic that is made up of a series of moments as opposed to a smooth linear flow, and then write the series of moments at different times and places, is that when it comes to putting it all together, what you think you have (a nice collection of scenes, which can be jiggled nicely to fit) turns out to be something else entirely (ie a collection of scenes in different tenses, with differing pov, some of which need a crowbar to slot in where they're supposed to go!)

Guess who's got a big 'ole editing job on the go :#

Whilst I don't challenge the spiel within the lot, when I click on an item for Starsky & Hutch this isn't exactly what I expected to see!!

So -I went to Court. Our prosecutor did not arrive, we had a replacement who talked to me as if I were three day old chewing gum, with an intellect to match. He eventually negotiated a plea, which meant 99% chance I wouldn't have to give evidence, (Not a plea bargain - just persuaded him that he was going to custody, best not to antagonise the bench by forcing a trial beforehand - my bit was only a breach hearing) but he refused to allow me to leave the Court until he said so. Hour and a half later he drifted by the office and 'remembered' me...

I had to have 'a chat' with my boss because I have had three separate periods of sick leave in the last 12 months. These absences consisted of the month I was signed off with bronchitis, and two separate migraines. For this I had to be talked to about stress management and how the company can 'help me'. The only bearable thing about this is my boss clearly thought it was a crock.

My book came from Play. - I opened it to find some Jaqueline Wilson child's book and not the new Dalziel & Pascoe! Now I have to do the whole sending back and reordering fiasco. Plus some child in Devon has my book and is probably quite disappointed.

kimberlyfdrs episode review prompted me to go watch the 'fight' sections of Playboy Island. I had forgotton how incredibly tight those shorts were. Especially Hutch's (I've a feeling that first time around I didn't take my eyes off Starsky's behind. Today I was a little fixated on the explicit nature of Hutch's Crotchal arena!). I went a little squiffy at the thumb sucking too.

Then I watched the next episode in prep for the next review!

I've turned against most of my icons :(

A bit of fluff.. Unbeta'd. Now beta'd by moondroplette Thank you very much, Moon!!!

Just feeling silly.

The facts are sorta facts. All on wikipedia. Well most of em, and maybe not presented exactly as I have done... what?

It's my paid account anniversary! I have just been automatically updated and have even more user pics! Yay! God I have a sad life! - I don't care though - I have just updated, added 11 and got rid of a few old ones - little things...

( My birthday card from my friend - look at all the hearts! )

I think I'm gonna get a 'new cat' - he's sorta moved in already. Stray. But if he does come and stay he's gonna be snipped! I may call him Edward.

My conference today was on Domestic violence and risk management. ( cut for rant on 'sexism' in DV training )

Also everybody laughed at my voice.

Also the sexy trainer person was there, he wore one of those shirts where the buttons only go so far down, kind of artisty? He looked all cute and vulnerable and did an impromptu role play. He has action man hair and is quite distracting.

Also. Oh. Well I've forgotton what else. Oh yes
( 82ASK stupidity )

Also,I want my voice back. I'm bored with teh husk now.

I cleaned. There was housework happening near me. It's okay though, I kept breathing deeply and didn't panic.

I think I may paint my kitchen next weekend. Annie's kitchen was all white and rustic and cottagey. Mine is grey and bleuch. I want a completely new one, fitted and all that jazz, but beyond my means at the moment.

I just watched RAGE - it was - engrossing. Really powerful. I started watching it with one eye tilted to my job (it's a story about a rapist undergoing a sex offender treatment programme whilst in custody - though obviously more comprehensively addressed than that) - it's strange. The therapy is a lifetime away from the programmes that are currently offerred - as far as I am aware, and with the caveat of course, that there's so much out there that I don't know about, but the programmes we offer at the moment are all based on Cognitive Behavioural approaches (Including the DV programme we run that is based on research from Duluth funnily enough!) - so the concepts embraced in this movie, with the full emotional aspect - the letting go, regression therapy (and all the laying on of hands) is so alien to my current professional hat. (Although more at home with the psychology I've studied and the counselling training I've done.)

After a bit though I stopped watching academically and just swam in the movie - DS was SO good. Contained, reticent, afraid, angry. The slow progress made (and this movie spread over many years) was great and realistic for a change - (as were the parole meetings where the offender has learnt the words, but not the meaning). It was intense and actually rather fab!

My new machine works - although I can't manage the connection to let me record from the video yet, which is annoying 'cos my old one worked perfectly - though maybe as this tape was nstc - I will have to persevere with that. - Oh and there is absolutely no truth in the supposition that maybe when my video ate the tape yesterday I wasn't actually plugged in and may have released the film perfectly naturally without me disecting it, had I realised this fact...
