Gah, I've still got a gazillion flist entries and comments to catch up on. I'm managing to keep on top of any recent/current ones, but anything before 6th February has been left by the wayside. I hate being so behind, but I'll get there I promise! 

I'm failing miserably at doing anything at the mo. I can't keep up with my online stuff, I'm constantly feeling exhausted at work and I'm basically just run down and feeling like crap. I think I might be getting a cold on top of everything else as well. I'm trying really hard to get to bed earlier every night, which is why I'm so behind on everything at the mo, but it's not helping much. I wish I spent more time at home and less time at work.     

Also, just a little rant while I'm here. My laptops stopped working wirelessly again, so I can't get online anywhere else other then in my bedroom, which is where my router is kept and it's bloody freezing in my bedroom! I'm actually thinking of wearing gloves, it's so cold. I only recently  figured out why it wouldn't connect wiressly and now it's screwed up again and I can't remember what it was I did to get it working the first time around. *grr*  I want to be able to get online in the nice warm living room with the big telly! *grumbles* 

I also brought a new DVD player at the weekend, which I got for real cheap. Since I got a new HD telly I haven't been able to watch DVD's, without the picture being blurred and grainy. I  couldn't afford a blu-ray player, so I got one that has a HDMI connection instead and it apparently enhances normal DVD's to near blu-ray quality. Anyway, I got it home to find out that it didn't have any connection leads. Typical! So I went on down to my nearest Sony store, as it was a Sony brand DVD, only to be told that they started from about £45 and went up to £80! That's more then what I paid for the DVD player! And then when I asked if that was just a standard lead, the guy told me, well you're paying for quality, if you get anything cheaper then that then you're not using your HD TV for what it's made for! WTF?! It's a friggin lead! I checked online and according to a heap of people everything he said was a load of BS! So after doing some research I found a lead which he was trying to sell me for £80 for only £1.65 on amazon and according to the customer reviews it works just as well as an £80 one. Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it does actually work! 

Wow, I haven't rambled this much in ages! What's wrong with me?

Oh and a little fangirl moment. When I was on my lunch break today I had a quick browse on what was happening on LJ to see if I'd missed any new SPN goodies, when I came across this youtube clip 
( Oh yeah Baby!  )
My mouth just drooped! How awesome is that! A SPN promo on the friggin Marble Arch in London!

Plus a few days ago I also noticed someone posted this pic which someone took at a bus stop in Oxford street

Holy water anyone?

Where the hell has Living been all this time? We ROCK! It actually makes me feel proud to be a Brit seeing all these amazing 'All hell breaks loose'  promos for s5. CW and ITV take note, you suck! 

This post is really just for me to scream with excitement over this weeks SPN episode, because WOW-EEE! The EPIC episodes that blow my mind right off it's hinges are back! I meant to make a little squee post about it as soon as I saw it yesterday, but I was so exhausted after work and pretty much just crashed as soon as I arrived home. Anyway, I can't wait to write up my thoughts about that one, although it may take me a while.

Hee, it's been a while since I wrote a very long rambly review. That said, I might have more time then I think. I just heard that we're gonna have another six week hellatus after the Feb 11th episode,  so the show won't be coming back again until March 25h! BOOOOOO! What are they trying to do to me!? The show was one of the only things giving me something to laugh and smile about and now they're taking it away! I officially hate the winter Olympics and everything winter or sports related! 

I actually might use that time as an opportunity to do a little re-watch. I've been in the mood for some oldies, especially S2. Plus I still haven't cracked open my S4 boxset yet.

I'm a bit behind again on flist entries and comments, like I said before, I was a walking zombie yesterday and today I've spent pretty much half the day catching up on a weeks worth of sleep and the other half filling out a job application form, which I've only just managed to get finished. I'm not holding my breath over it, but it at least makes me feel better knowing that I'm trying.

I'll hopefully try to catch up with everyone's LJ's soon.

Oh and how could I forget, the magic that is the one and only Mr Jensen Ackles, singing and dancing up a storm with the Impalas. Yes, I've seen the video. "I'm a soul man!" GAH! My love for that man is soaring...soaring, soaring soaring! I won't post it again, cause pretty much everyone on my flist has already done that job for me. :P But good Gosh, that boy is endless amounts of awesomeness with an extra ounce of pure EPIC love. ♥ Yeah, I like using the word EPIC a lot.

I'm incredibly late again, but earlier then last week. So here's my rambly, if not a little ranty thoughts on what has turned out to be quite a controversial episode amongst fandom.

 

( If you were of voting age. You would be dead!  )

I know these pics have been plastered all over LJ today, but I don't care I have to do the same! They put a huge smile on my face this morning! Plus I haven't shallowly fangirled in here in ages and it's about time I did! 

After all this time and after filming 100 episodes together, these boys haven't changed a teeny tiny bit! ♥♥ Just look at those smiles! 



And Mish, Mish as well! ♥♥



Happy 100th episode SPN! This show more then any other deserves to have made it this far and still be going strong!

Oh and for all those who posted comments on my manic entry yesterday, this is for you! *huggles you all*

Because I don't want to form bad habits, I'm posting another little update to stop me from going awol and hopefully help keep my sanity.

Really I've not been up to much lately. Yeah great way to start off an update I know. I did actually go out and socialise in the real world with real people last week though. It was a work related meal for one of our shelvers, who I adore. She's like a really cool aunt to me. Anyway, it was her 60th on New years Eve and so everyone at work planned on taking her out for a meal sometime in January as part of our gift to her. We actually went to Bella Italia again, where we went for the Christmas meal, because they gave as a 50% off voucher if we came back in January and that way we could all put some money towards her meal as well as our own, without putting ourselves too much out of pocket. The food was lovely and everyone had a blast, even though dragon boss was there too. I was actually in two minds whether to go because I knew she'd be there. I'm having some major issues with her lately and she's been irritating me a lot more then usual, but I'll save that for the  the rant later. It's bad enough putting up with her when I'm getting paid for it, but not on my day off as well! But I tried to ignore her for most part of the night.

I also went out again last night to a comedy lineup . A friend from work's husband does stand up comedy in his spare time and he's been asked to act  as concierge for a comedy night once a month at our local pub, so I got to go see some free stand up. There was some brilliant acts in the lineup as well, some of which could put those who've made it to the land of TV to shame. There was one guy who actually reenacted Romeo and Juliet using some very weird props, which included a dildo, a porno mag, some jelly babies and a frozen mackerel! So weird, but hilarious! 

Oh and I forgot to mention that I saw the Star Trek movie a couple of weeks back. Yes wyntertwilight and smilinstar I've finally seen it! And I really, really loved it! It wasn't like I expected at all, it was even better! This ones going on my DVD wishlist. :D

I also want to apologise once again for still being a miserable cow and a useless LJ friend. I can't ignore the fact that I'm still very much depressed. I'm calling it depression now, cause it's been too long to just be a mood swing. I hate to think that my moods reflected at all in any of my comments on LJ and you should all just ignore me for a while until I sort myself out.  

( Just ignore this part...nothing to see here...move along please )

I know everyone's probably just seen ep12, but I finally finished my thoughts on ep11. I actually finished them last night, but LJ was being a bitch and wouldn't let me post it. I've just watched ep12, so I'm hoping I'll get that one written up before ep13 airs.

So if anyone's actually interested, here's my rambly ramblings. It's been a while since I wrote one of these, but it feels good to get back in the saddle.


( Crazy's the clue!  )

 

Hey flist. *waves* Sorry I've been so quiet recently. I've not had anything of substance to say lately and I didn't want to write a load of down in the dumps posts. But of course I can't ignore the inner fangirl who is screaming to get out and squee that SPN is back!!!! Finally!!!!! After seeing last weeks episode my mood has peaked and I'm so glad to finally have this show back in my life. It's a good distraction from myself.

I'll hopefully post my thoughts and ramblings about the latest episode soon. My initial thoughts after my first viewing has changed a lot, so I expect none of it will make sense, but that's not unusual.

So that's pretty much my pointless post over with. I'm sorry for being such a miserable cow. I seriously don't know how people have been able to put up with me lately, I thought I'd be over it by now, but I'm starting to learn to just get on with things and ignore the crap in my head.

Anyway, I hope my flist is happy and doing well! *group hugs*

Oh and not that I remembered cause I'm a  terrible fangirl, but some comms reminded me that it's a Mr Dean Winchester's birthday today and being a fanatical Dean girl I have to wish him a very happy birthday! I don't care if he's fictional, I wish him all the best and I hope you kill that Lucifer bitch soon Deany-kins! You Goddam hero!!!! *mwah* Loves ya! 

( It's Dean Winchesters birthday! Lets all have some.... ) <----Warning! spoilery for those who haven't seen 5.11 yet. 

Okay fangirlish insanity over with..lets get on with the show.

I just want to quickly say a very Happy birthday to aniquetje . I'm sorry I'm late hon, but I hope you had a wonderful day! Sorry I didn't have time to make you a nice banner. Hopefully a great big bear hug will be a nice conciliation.



I might as well make a small update as well.

The snows cleared! Woohoo! I did wake up Wednesday morning to a fresh blanket of snow everywhere, which quickly turned to slippery slush by lunch time, but today we got lots of rain to wash that all away. So no more snow! Until we get the next bad snow fall that is! And I swear I'm suffering from S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder). Why can't humans hibernate as well?

I need to get to bed earlier tonight. I've been so knackered the past couple of days. After lunch today I was nodding off at the desk. It's not good!   

Yeah, I haven't got anything else to add, except my heart goes out to all those suffering in Haiti right now. Hearing news as devastating as that,  really puts all the moaning and complaining you do throughout the day into perspective.

Just a mini update, cause it's been a while.

Well I guess I haven't actually got much to update on. I've been incredibly lazy this past week, apart from heading into work, I've done pretty much nothing. I think the weathers been putting me off actually going out and doing things, but I might just be using that as an excuse. I'll have to remind myself to slap that laziness out of me soon.

 Really I'm just enjoying being free. My free time's given me the chance to catch up online, so now I'm on top of everything on that front, which is a nice feeling.  I hate being behind on flist entries and comments.

I've been making a few changes to my LJ. I've changed my moodtheme and updated my icons so it's a tincy bit more fandom diverse now. 

I watched the first two episodes of glee yesterday! I'm so loving that show! ♥  Which reminds me, I need to get me a glee icon! 

I can't believe it's just over a week until SPN starts up again! I can't wait to get that giddy feeling back, when I'm about to watch a new episode. I miss the boys! Oh and has everyone heard the little snippet about Jensen auditioning for a role in Terry Gilliam's movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus?  This news makes me so happy and yet so sad. Happy that he got given such an amazing opportunity and sad that he couldn't take it.  One day I'll get to see Jensen acting his socks off in a film worthy of his talents.

I'm gonna keep this short, cause I'm writing this whilst freezing my butt off! I'm wearing an over sized hoodie, fleecy pyjama bottoms and I've wrapped a thick blanket around me and I'm still shivering! I hate this weather.

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer.


I'm posting this for my friend, who lost her mother to Breast Cancer last year.

I said there would be snow and boy did we get it! 

The thing that I hate most about the snow, is the fact that we don't have a clue on how to deal with it in this country. We get a bit of snow and transport gets cancelled and people end up stranded on motorways. Useless stupid government, who said last year that we don't need extra support and equipment to clear away heavy snow falls, because it's a one off thing. Well look outside Prime Minister! It's happened again! 

I can't complain too much though. I did manage to get out of work two and half hours early today, so people could try and get home safely. Luckily I only live down the road from my work, so it only takes me a 10 min walk, but I feel sorry for those who have to get buses or drive. They've already given out warnings that  you should only drive in this weather if it's an absolute urgency.

Well if I have to put up with this for the next week or so, then I better keep getting more benefits like that one.

On to a different subject: I really want to catch up on all those SPN episode reviews that I missed out on. I don't know if it's worth it now though. Either way it would be nice to re-watch all those episodes. Hmmm, I'll see if I feel up to it before hellatus finally ends and distracts me from normal constructive thinking.

So anyway pointless update over with. I hope every one's well and that those who are battling the snow as well are keeping safe and warm! 

I'm finally caught up with LJ and everyone's journals! Yay! Hopefully now that I can finally put this damned Meme to rest I can get on with my life and get back to my online world! Oh and we have snow! Lots of snow! I don't know what it will look like tomorrow when I wake up, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a no work day.

30 days Meme: Days 27-30

 It's finally over folks! 

( The end of days )

Hello flist, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New year and have recovered after all the over indulging. I think I over indulged a little too much and we've still got enough food to last us til next Christmas! Anyway, this is just a little update to keep those brain cells happy, because I've been neglecting them the past week or so. I thought I'd have more time after Christmas to catch up online, but it seems I've caught lazyitis after stuffing myself silly. Luckily I've finally woken up from my gluttonous coma and guilt's set in long enough to get me to write an update. 

So what have I been doing since Christmas? Well nothing except sleeping and being incredibly lazy! Ever since boxing day I've pretty much been glued to the sofa watching movies and stuffing myself with turkey sandwiches. I have had some energetic moments where  I went out a few times to go to  the sales and spend some of the gift vouchers and money I got given and I've even been using my new wii fit plus a lot as well, which I got given for Christmas, but that's mainly out of guilt. 

I've only had to go into work once this week so that only fed my laziness even more, but I suppose I better make the most of it, cause it won't last after today. Back to the daily grind tomorrow. I was actually supposed to go into work Wednesday this week, but I just couldn't face it and needed to take the day off for fear of having an early new year break down. Christmas sent me a bit do-laley this year, but I'm hoping I can get back into old routines after this short period of gluttony, especially now that all the stress and festivities are done with. To tell you the truth, Christmas day for me was anti-climatic. Just a lot of hard work and effort put in to a fancier than usual roast dinner, which only gave us a load of leftovers. The food was great, but it makes you realise you're missing out on the whole point of Christmas when you think of all the headaches and arguments you've had in order to create it. Too much excess, not enough happiness and love. It just makes me miss that magical feeling you get at Christmas time which is only seen  through a childs eyes. I say it every year, but next year I'll get it right, not that it's all grumps and headaches all the time. I do have to thank my wonderful flist,  for all the love you've spread this Christmas. All the v-gifts, well wishes, cards and presents were amazing and I appreciate every single one of them! You helped make Christmas time a special time for me. ♥ Thank you all! *group hugs flist* 

I have a heap of comments I've let pile up and I'll hopefully get through them soon along with everyone's entries that I've missed. I hate being so behind! 

Oh yeah and here's some more of that meme that never ends! I know it's not even December anymore and I've still not finished yet, but I won't give up on this one! 

 

( It's that time of year again!  )

I just had to make a quick post to say HAPPY CHRISMTAS EVERYBODY! Whether you celebrate it or not I hope everyone on my flist has a wonderful day. I might not be able to get online much over the next couple of days, so I apologize in advance. I spent all of Tuesday rushing around the shops finishing off the last bits for Christmas - wohoo. No more Christmas shopping! I daren't tell you how much we spent on food! It's a ridiculous amount and we don't even need half of it! The trees up, but the flat looks like a bombs hit it and I have a  feeling it won't get cleaned up by tomorrow either, especially seeing as  I'm stuck at work tomorrow. I wish I could have a lazy Christmas Eve at home doing nothing but stuffing my face with mince pies! *sigh* I hate to end things on a downer so just ignore that last part and grab a mince pie and some cookies from the decoy plate I'm handing to you all! Enjoy! 
 
I'm so behind on this 30 day meme thing that I'm regretting even starting it, but here's a few more days I've missed out on. I'll try to catch up with the rest soon.


( This is the longest Meme ever!  )

Sorry I've not been around as much as I should be and probably won't be in the next week or so, I'm just so busy and constantly tired at the mo! Blame Christmas blues and yuletide stress. I love this time of year really! 

I had my work Christmas meal yesterday which was nice, although I wasn't feeling very chatty. Might of had something to do with dragon boss being there. The food was lovely though! Italian, my favourite! *yumyum* 

Sorry if my mood is too scrooge like, but I'm bloody freezing at the mo! *shivers*  Apparently it's supposed to be heavy snow tomorrow, we've already got a thin layer now, but I'm not expecting to see much more in the morning. We'll see! 

Oh and I love Glee! ♥

Day 13 -- A fictional book

I'll just put down the book I'm reading at the mo, which is Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.



I'm a fan of the Wizard of OZ and I've been wanting to read this for ages. I just happened to notice it whilst perusing the shelves of the library during my tea break, so I grabbed it while I still had the chance. I can't really tell you too much about it, cause I've only just started reading it, but I 'm really enjoying it so far. I'm loving Maguire's take on the OZ world. I wish I had more to say, but that'll have to come later.

Day 14 -- A non-fictional book

The art of the snowflake: A photographic album by Kenneth Libbrecht




This books is full of amazing up close photos of actual snowflakes in all their wonderful uniqueness and beauty! It took my breath away when I first saw it. It just makes you marvel at the wonders of nature and how underappreciated it really is!

Just a quick post before I head off to bed to wish my friend country_bee a very happy birthday!



I'm sorry I didn't have time to do more for you, but I hope you have a wonderful day! *hugs&kisses* Oh and the mood is not just cause I'm sleepy. ;-)
