Well, that was January then. It had its odd points, but it was better than December. Looking at my diary today, I notice we're due another December at the end of this year. I may have to make arrangements to be somewhere else around then.

I certainly didn't plan on making any new year's resolutions, but apparently my brain decided to do it without my knowledge. Most of them seem to be to do with writing. Unfortunately, talking about one's own writing can be quite boring for the people who aren't actually involved in doing the writing, but I've never let that stop me before, and I'll be damned if I'm going to start now!

( Writing, reading, watching, listening - cut because I love you )

I love vids, although I don't seem to watch all that many. But then, my fandom participation has been somewhat lacking lately. Anyway, this is Torchwood (Ianto/Jack) -- I clicked on it mainly because I love the song, but the vid itself is gorgeous and really well done. Oh, Ianto!

WHERE HAS MY WEEKEND GONE???

RAGE!

Ooh, but look at this Jack icon I have, courtesy of elouisa! :) I intend to use it whenever I am suddenly distracted by something the way I was just then.

I do actually have things to post, such as ramblings on film adaptations of novels, a fic, and... well that was it. But anyway, I can't really be bothered just at the moment.

BYE!

ps. I OWN TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE!

I never do recs any more, which is a shame. So here's one:

'And how tonight we will turn in' by mireille719, Torchwood, gen, spoilers through 1x05: Small Worlds. Why do you think the members of Torchwood Three don't get much sleep these days? It's short and chilling and it cuts right to the heart. See, this is why I love fic - it is able to give characters a real depth when canon is either unable or unwilling to do so.

*nods wisely*

Yes.

Anyway, laters dudes.

( To the End )

Oh, how I should be asleep right now. Oh well.

Things include:

• Books: however did I ever cope without Lord Peter Wimsey to accompany me on bus journeys? My quality of life has improved tenfold.


• But my iPod is unwell, which takes the edge off it a bit.


• Our household has finally discovered The Mighty Boosh. IMMEDIATE OBSESSION ENSUES! Although that bit's mostly me.


• I LOVE being BRIEFLY OBSESSED WITH THINGS!


• NaNo has been neglected. I very much doubt I'll even get to 10,000 words before the month is out, but hopefully I'll carry on with it anyway.


• When I went to bed the other night with the idea of getting some SLEEP, I accidentally wrote Torchwood fic. BRAIN! GET WITH THE PROGRAM!


• Speaking of Torchwood, anyone who is remotely interested really ought to go to the fantastic website. And then, when you get sick of trying to make the pretty version work, go to the equally fantastic but less flashy one. There is some seriously cool stuff on here, including venn diagrams.


• They made me do work at work again. SIGH!

Goodnight.
