, Ted and I watched Human Nature/Family of Blood yesterday. *clutches heart and staggers around* That’s not just doom. That’s chocolately doom: the kind of doom you just can’t resist. Wow. God damn, but is good. I will be falling upon him and weeping and strangling him a little bit and going AUGH a lot at MeCon, I think. :) It has been a completely smashing week. took us down to Kinsale on Saturday and gave us the history of Ireland as relevant to Kinsale, and brought us to Charlesfort…
mostly doctor
Anyone who had the opportunity to enjoy the smashingly nice, rain-free afternoon and evening yesterday in Cork should thank and me for it. We’d intended on going to Blarney, but the intermittent torrential downpours all morning and into the early afternoon put us off, so we decided in favor of tucking ourselves in and watching as much Torchwood and Doctor Who as we could. Consequently, Ted and I have now seen episodes 1, 12 and 13 of Torchwood, and the final 3 episodes of Doctor Who, which were all full…

Over the last couple of months I have gotten *lots* of emails saying, “I’ve visited your website and don’t see anything saying there will be more Walker Papers! Don’t tell me the series is ending!

However, between now and then,…

Alarmingly, Ardian has caught up to me. I need to write the fifth issue of Chance. Ack. I also .really. need to get that resubmitted. Months have passed me by unwary. Meh. A man came to fix the washer, and sort of did. Another man came to deliver groceries, which was pretty cool. I’m going to have to call about the washer again, I guess. Bother. But other than that, it was a very nice day. Emily and I went out to Fota and saw baby monkeys, and to Cobh…
we have net!
The man came yesterday and he gave us a phone and internet! It is amaaaaazing! I have ordered our groceries on the internet. It is amaaaaazing! Tomorrow someone will come to fix the washing machine that broke! It is amaaaaazing! They *claim* someone will be here this week to replace beds and cookers, but I’m rather dubious about that, so it’s not so amaaaaazing. Yesterday I got up fairly early and went and got on a bus and sat there brainlessly for four and a half hours. Actually, I sort…
