  1. If my piano teacher makes any more stern comments that remind me of D/s stuff I've written, I'm going to end up biting my tongue right off. *gulps* I'd really better practice those technical pieces this week. I've heard of legs turning to jelly... but fingers? Nightmare! And he's not even playing. Not even a little bit. It's all me. :/

      Oh, yikes... I'm not even going to pretend I know how that feels...

      Embarrassing beyond belief, mostly. Although, thankfully, I'm sure he's got no idea what's going on in my head. Small mercies.

      If he saw a "36 Keys of Black" book he might get suspicious.

  2. My dog is really poorly (again). I'm afraid he might be on his way out. :( Vet this afternoon.

      Been to vets again today - everything looking good, so he's on a longer course of these tablets and they should sort him out. Next appt next week. :)

      I'm so glad to hear that he's responding! That is marvelous! :D

      That is really good! I hope the little guy keeps responding and improving.

  3. Going to the theatre to watch The Mousetrap. *excited*

      Sadly, slightly overrated, but still good fun! :) Apparently I must now take the secret of whodunnit to my grave.

      Good production though... I can always tell when the set has cost more than my house.

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I need to go to a show again soon. I miss that. I love a good production, and getting lost in a compelling story.

  4. Just watching The Wicker Man, and been enjoying Britt Eckland singing THAT song, and doing that little dance... did I mention England is in the grip of a heatwave? *fans self*

      What kind of temperatures?

    2. pippychick

      pippychick

      We had 36.7C (98f), probably nothing to you over there ;) But for us it's: OMG! What's that yellow thing in the sky? The roads are melting!

      That's a normal summer here, but that's damn hot for the UK, and would be might tough if you're not used to it.

  5. Just seen a fantastic film called "We Are Many" about the global protest against the Iraq war in 2003. I was there. So many countries, so many people. Inspiring!

  6. "For too long, we have been... saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - UK Home Secretary. Seriously, wtf?! :(

      They want to withdraw from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights... it's hindering them, apparently.

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      There are really no words that fit my reaction to that.

    4. JayDee

      A ban on anti-government rhetoric ought to make election campaigning inventive at least "Hey, they've been great, but, uh, we'll do better."

  7. Well... the UK is completely and utterly f***ed. That's all. Goodnight.

      *sighs* It cut me off. They want to take public spending "back to 1930's levels" when we still had workhouses. I'm quite sure I've understated all this. It's not going to be worth living here. :(

      I'm sorry dafdes :( London was where I planned to live when I finished my degree :\ I wanted to be in a country that understood the necessity of supporting the people... its sad the whole world has turned into a greedy cesspit without an ounce of social responsibility.

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      It's positively terrifying, since the conservatives here would love to do the same thing. It amazes me how prescient the authors of our Constitution were, given that they've left us a road map of how to hold our next revolution.

  8. I know it's a first world problem, but... I wanted to go to Ireland to see where my ancestors came from. I can get a train to Liverpool and back for £20, and the ferry leaves from there.. but wait! No foot passengers? Cars only!? Humans without machines have to depart from Holyhead in North Wales, which costs £60 each way to get to on the train. FFS, sod it. *sighs*

      I have yet to see Liverpool. It's on the list, though!

      They say "See Toxteth and die."

      In the US, we call that an Old World problem. :)

  9. Just back from the vets, and my dogs have a clean bill of health. *collapses into exhausted, relieved heap* I can start gradually phasing in kibble instead of cooking fresh chicken and rice three times a day. Hopefully, my own blood glucose will calm down now too, because it's been off the scale. ---end of moan---

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      ::hugs:: I'm so glad to hear that the dogs are well again! It's so stressful when a beloved pet is sick, and yes, you need to take care of YOU now. ::hugs again for good measure::

  10. Going to treat my Mom to a home facial/crystal healing/massage session. I think she'll be asleep after the first thirty seconds.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      That's a lovely treat! And I know I'd be happily relaxed and asleep myself!

    2. pippychick

      pippychick

      Oh, if my arms were only long enough, Bronx... I'd be the star of my own exploitative TV documentary.

  11. Off to London overnight to catch a show and other stuff! *runs around doing hair and stuff* Supposed to be fun. *utters slightly terrified scream, waking neighbours* Back Sunday for archive. :)

  12. Went to the theatre yesterday to see Sarah Kane's "Blasted!" It's horrific, brutal and disturbing. If you ever get the chance, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

  13. On antibiotics for a virus that didn't go away. Dr says I can expect more things like this. Oh, joy. At least I am alive. Unless this is some kind of seriously wacky afterlife.

      Update: I have called in sick to work for friday and saturday. That's the second time in like six years!

      I think everyone is an idiot at some point in their lives. For some it's temporary; for others, it lasts a life time.

      Feel better soon love, its so hard to be sick. I hope you get lots of rest and drink lots of soup and fluids <3

  14. I'm doing that thing where you find an old original story on your hard drive that you can't remember writing, and find yourself thinking: Wow! This is good! Why didn't I stick with it? .... at gone eleven at night with work in the morning.

    1. BronxWench

      ::hugs:: Write it! :D

      *nods* I am running out of ways to procrastinate.

  15. I am "doing" the Fringe boxset. This may cause Walter/Astrid fic at some point.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      ::cheers:: More fic! Yes! <3

  16. I have just found out wasps are nesting near one of my upstairs windows. Worse, I have just found out how much it costs to get rid of them. Bugger.

      It's inside the wall. Short of removing the bricks and rebuilding the house, it's staying right there.

    3. GeorgeGlass

      I once had a wasps' nest under an awning at my house. The neighbors later got to see me running down the street wearing a denim jacket, jeans, high boots, and a fencing mask and carrying a spray can.

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      My dad used to get them under the eaves, and he would wait until dark, spray the nest until it was saturated with wasp spray, and the next day use a hose with a pressure nozzle to wash it down and get rid of it.

  17. I have tonsilitis. I keep getting out of bed for small periods of time, then giving up. Somebody, please... knock me out.

      aw hell that sucks. Sherbet helps with the sore throat part, plus doesn't give you the dairy interactions from being sick.

    3. pippychick

      pippychick

      Thank you. I had never heard that about sherbert, but it might not go well with the diabetes. :/ I felt a bit better today, until I fell down our stone steps while going to hang some washing out. Lucky to be alive! :)

      BronxWench

      Dear gods, love! You must take better care of yourself! :hugs:

  18. My homework for writing group this week is a dream... write fanfiction for Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Ooohhh... Lovely! :D

  19. Despite work, and washing, and shopping, and walking the dogs, I'm definitely having a lazy day.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Clothing and sneakers for kids, shops and making dinner. More than enough here. :D

  20. So a few weeks ago, I accidentally deleted a story of mine, and today failed to find it on the wayback machine. Damn. That'll teach me to crosspost efficiently.

      *nods* Yep - I'm that much of an idiot. Ah, well :)

  21. Why should it be my fate, on a beautiful summer's day, to walk through the park and encounter two thuggish dickheads with a dangerous dog? And why do I have to be alone when I encounter them?

      Two hard man types against one little woman... not good, but I'm ok. Shaken, but.. yeah. :)

      Dear gods, what did the gobshites do?

    4. pippychick

      pippychick

      They had a go at me for letting Jake off lead, because “we were here first” so I told them if their dog was dangerous, they shouldn’t be letting it off. There was a little argument. The gobby one threatened to set his dog on both of mine and “rip them to bits” and on me, and then a load of other nasty things I won’t repeat. He was pissed off because I was right, and because he saw somebody he thought he could easily intimidate and turned out to be wrong.

  22. Currently reading: The End of the Affair by Graham Greene; The Crimes of Love by Marquis de Sade; The Monk by Matthew Lewis

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      That's an entirely interesting melange... :D

      Bit esoteric for me, like. I only heard of two of the authors and one of the books. Still, each one's interests to their own!
