This week is dragging and dragging. Things are so dull here, it's unbelievable.

I'm still struggling womanfully on with this (probably not) broken toe. My flatmate, N, hurt her back last night - she managed to come in to work for all of four hours before going home in pain. What about my toe pain, huh! No one cares about that! She got pain killers and sympathy - I got nothing. PAH!

Okay, so my toe doesn't really hurt that much, but no one but me knows that! (And you guys, of course). PAH and pah again. A plague on all your houses. Not yours, loyal and loving Flist. You have been v good to me through all my emo whining.

My mother gets back from Italy tomorrow, and I'm going home on Saturday for the bank holiday weekend. We're going to bury Jenny's ashes in the garden, so a fun weekend to look forward to. That's probably partly why I'm feeling so crappy at the moment.

I've seen a cool job going at one of the mobile phone companies, doing regulatory stuff, which I might be able to convince them that I'm qualified for. Not sure, but I think I'll apply, see how it goes. I'm sick of this place, that's for sure. Nothing but trouble.

Why aren't there any SGA promo pictures yet? I want a new desktop wallpaper, but there's nothing out there. Most annoying! I know everyone else is all doom and gloom about this season, but I'm really looking forward to it (AND I AM SPOILER FREE, well mostly, SO PLEASE DON'T TELL ME WHY IT'S GOING TO SUCK I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!) I've started rewatching season 3. I'd forgotten how good it was. Awesome stuff. Watched Sateda and Progeny last night. Fabulous :) I didn't rate Sateda much last time, but it was really cool. I must admit, I skipped Irresistible though - that one's still shite.

ETA: Oh yeah, I meant to say - my dad turned up at the weekend, first time in well over six months, I think. Nothing much to report, except that I (finally) got my birthday present (nice fat cheque - what I deserve for it being 5 months late, I think), and they also offered to help with my mortgage deposit when I need one, which may or may not happen in reality, but the offer was nice.

I tend to forget how good Atlantis is when it's not on, too, which means that in the hiatus my squee is always at a very low ebb. And I am not as panicky about this season as some people. Changes always happen. They made Ronon work (did they ever!) and they'll probably make upcoming changes work to varying degrees of success, as well. I may or may not get my squee back. Not that pushed about it, because there's more than one fandom in the world!

Though I hold by my newfound belief that tennis fandom is the best, because there's no hiatus. *g*

Anyhoo. Good luck with the new job application. I'll be back on the job trail myself in little over a month. Vaguely terrifying.

And also, if your toe is still bothering you tomorrow, get it checked out before the weekend! Don't make me nag you. ;D

My squee seems to have increased recently, I think because I'm reading so much SGA fic, which is, of course, often better than the actual show. Speaking of Ronon, though, I don't think I noticed last time I watched Sateda just how very clearly John is lusting for Ronon. It's so obvious! How he's survived this long in the US military, I don't know, because the big sparkling pink neon sign of man-love is really, really obvious sometimes.

Tennis fandom ... I'm really very fond of you, you know, but this is one that I don't think I can share. I quite see the appeal of sweaty men hugging each other and such, but .. tennis. Hm. Still, if it makes you happy, it's all good.

Job hunting is horrible, but at least you'll have a good incentive to do it. I'm just sort of stuck here, because my current job is comfortable, so there's no massive motivation to force me into action. Yet.

The toe is feeling better. I'm sure I'll be fine. I can always get my mother to drive me up to the minor injuries unit when I'm back home over the weekend, if it's still bad.
