A sad, sad day .... part 2

Oh my god! Heroes was everything I expected it to be....

I am happy and sad all at once...... Ahhhhh Hiro, Ahhhhh Peter, even a small awwwww to Nathan too.... and Mr Bennett had a first name!!!! It was worth watching just for that!

p.s. I'm reserving the right to go out and buy a huge bar of dairy free chocolate, just in case depression kicks in later!

A sad, sad day

Monday's are horrid! I always get really tired and grumpy on Mondays, and there's always some shyster on the train who has a really irritating ring tone which is annoyingly loud, and wakes me up. Outrageous!

Anyway, I won't bang on about commuting and sleeping (for a change), as today is a very, very sad day. Tonight will be the last episode of Heroes, Season 1.

Even the thought of next Saturday's Any Dream Will Do will not be able to console me.... I just hope I will not be as depressed as I was when Buffy died at the end of Season 5, as now I have my dairy intolerance, I will not be able to eat a tub of Hagan Daas and a slab of chocolate to get me through this tough time.

I love you *sniff* Peter Petrelli ....

[...but don't worry R & L, I don't love him as much as you two!]

Biz trip

I've got an afternoon meeting in Leicester tomorrow, so I get another lie in - hurrah! Bad news is that it isn't due to finish until 5pm, so I'll be leaving there during rush hour and probably won't be home til after 9pm - Booo! This also means I'll be too knackered to watch the latest episode of Heroes.... Bah!!!!!

Our hire car is a Peugeot 306 which I've never driven before... I am eternally grateful that it wasn't an Astra, which has been my LEAST favourite previous hire car!

And I'm not impressed with the way the hire company have parked the car outside my house! One wheel on the pavement (just), and half the car hanging over my driveway, meaning it's a damn good job I wasn't going out tonight! Thoughtless gits!!!! The car was also blocking access to the driveways opposite mine... looks like I'm going to be popular with the neighbours tonight!

I am now going to have a proper sulk at having to wait 2 days to watch Heroes!

It's over....

My love affair (not literally) with Stalker Cat is well and truly over! I came to this conclusion when he decided to miaow REALLY, REALLY loudly, while I was trying to watch Heroes!!!! How very, very dare he! He obviously needs to learn about priorities in life i.e. heroes saving the world are far more important than a fluffy cuddle!!!!

First Aid course is enjoyable, but hard work.... it's times like 'when I'm trying to tie bandages,' that I wish I'd been blessed with better co-ordination, and could remember the differences between a 'reef knot' and a 'granny knot' - that sailing course was worth going on, eh? Still, at least I got the bandages on the right limbs, which is a start!

My head is hurting from information overload (and loud purring), so think I'm going to go and watch an episode of Jericho (latest naff American TV series that I'm watching)......

Catch up

Ahhhh, Heroes didn't let me down... and it was so nice to see all of my friends, I've missed them so much!

I've realised that Lola is "playing" me bigtime, as it's now the 3rd time in less than a week that she's tipped herself upside down... I swear she waits til I'm right outside the door, flips herself onto her back, and then pretends that she's been there ages! All cos she know's she's going to get picked up and given a cuddle!!! Little tyke!

Managed to catch up on a load of podcasts today... I LURVE the Russell Brand one, it's sooooo funny! The Scott Mills' ones are also very funny... he was talking about irrational hatred in one of them, as one of his friends refused to go and see a film just because it had Sandra Bullock in it. He can't pinpoint exactly what it is about her, he just can't stand her. Then one of his listeners phoned in to say he has an irrational hatred of Cat Deeley - apparently its because she does a weird thing with her mouth at the end of each sentence... I know what he means about her, sometimes she kind of sticks her tongue out when she smiles, which is really unnerving and irritating! And some might say that I have an irrational hatred of Michael Schumacher.... personally, I don't feel this is irrational though... so fess up all, who've you got an irrational hatred of?

The Millenium Bridge saga was apparently a "potential jumper" - awwww, I feel sorry for anyone who feels so bad that they want to kill themselves, but for fekks sake, if you're seriously gonna do it, don't go to a public place, and waste police resources! Blimey, ain't I unsympathetic?

Millenium Bridge

Heyyyyyy, in all my Heroes excitement, I totally forgot to say...

Weird happenings on Millenium Bridge today.... the police sealed it off at lunch time. Then more policemen and police boats kept turning up...

By the time I was walking home over Southwark Bridge, there were about 20 policemen leaning over the sides of the bridge in clusters, and 3 police boats anchored below in a sort of circular fashion!

If anyone knows what the hell was going on, please do tell!

Sun reader, and proud.... so there!

Weeeeell, where do I start???

1st piece of good news => I stepped over 3 piles of sick today (which is a new record for the Monday-morning-walk-to-the-station), and I didn't wretch once!!!!

Sat in my favourite seat on the train this morning [hardly a surprise, as I'm usually the first one on], and settled down to read my beloved Sun newspaper. Yes, I know, I know, The Sun.... don't think I can't hear all you intellects gasp in outrage & disgust, but I lurve it, in all it's working class glory! Anyway, moving on...

2nd piece of good news => the lovely David James got a clean sheet, so no more facial fuzz! Can't wait to see the new "look", let's hope it's better than some of his previous dodgy barnets!

3rd piece of good news => I was so engrossed in my work today, that the working day only seemed about 3 hours long! Dontcha just love days like that???

4th piece of good news => I've got home to find that Derren Brown, THE Derren Brown, is now one of my MySpace buddies... how cool is that? I'm a bit surprised at the photo he's got on his profile, though - his forehead looks really big, like those men in the old Tefal adverts. I don't know why he didn't use a promo shot from his Channel 4 series.... I would have done personally, but maybe he felt that they'd airbrushed him too much in those, and so he wanted to appear more "natural".

5th piece of good news => The welcome return of Heroes tonight - I am SOOOOO excited about this - it's been a long period of separation for me and my superpowered buddies! Bad news, is that it will be far too late for me to watch, so I'm going to have to watch it tomorrow night. Nay mind, I may just treat myself, and go and watch the last episode again, just as a little reminder of why I love them so much!!!! Save the cheerleader....!

Identity Theft on MySpace

I now have two (yes, two) MySpace friends called Joss Whedon, who look remarkably similar to each other, I might add. Who'd have thought that two random people, sharing the same name, could look so alike?!!? One's obviously quite shy, as he seems to be hiding behind a black curtain or something - I think he's the older of the two, as the other Joss looks a lot younger... Interestingly enough, they both have similar tastes too!

I was very disappointed to find out that it wasn't the real Louis Theroux, who'd asked to be my friend [I'm still reeling from the shock of discovering it wasn't really Michael Barrymore !] When I read the name tag "Louis Theroux Appreciationists", I just thought Louis had some obscure American qualification that he likes to annotate after his name! It didn't even occur to me that Louis might have been the victim of Identity Theft! What is this world coming to?!? Next I'll be finding out that it's not really the Dalai Lama, either.... although I am sure it is him, as he is in exile in India, and would probably need to use the internet to communicate with the folks back home. And what better way to stay in touch with friends than MySpace? Although thinking about it, I wonder if he knows about Friends Reunited... I'll drop him a line in a minute, just in case he doesn't know about that one.

I've asked Derren Brown to be my friend too - I'm just waiting for his response... I'm a bit worried that he might have used his superpower (mind control) over the 'net, as I felt oddly drawn to him... [Mrs M, I think he's another Shouldn't but do!]

Oh, and talking of superpowers, Heroes is back on tomorrow!!!!! Woo Hoo!

Heroes

OH this is getting soooooo good! I LOVE IT!

p.s. some girl was bawling on the train today (wasn't me!).... what is going on????
