happiness is my default position

It has been a rather eventful couple of weeks.

Last Friday I went with some of my friends to see Russell Howard in York. It was a tiny venue and he was amazing as always. There were time I was crying with laughter, which is always a good sign. I wasn't impressed with having to pay £6.40 for a glass of wine (!!) but afterwards, ( this happened, which more than made up for it. )

On Friday we had a Superhero day at work to raise money for charity. A few of us dressed up and had a fun day mostly messing around. I went as Wonder Woman and was rather pleased with how my outfit turned out. ( I came second in the costume competition )

Why is no one talking about last night's Doctor Who? ( Spoilers )

Finally, I'm doing the Race for Life 10K in York on June 19th. If anyone would like to sponsor me, my sponsorship page is here.

Now, I have a nice evening of Coupling, Doctor Who, Press Gang and wine ahead of me. I love Bank Holidays!

My posts recently have been quite miserable so this one is going to be happy. I'm determined.

But hey, lets start with the stuff that's a little bit sucky, just for perspective:

- my back still hurts, not as much but the pain is still there. I complained to the spa and as yet I've had no response

- the English football team had another dismal performance on Friday and it irritates me that footballers are paid so much money and yet don't seem to be able to do the one thing they're paid to do. The sense of entitlement in British sport is frankly irritating; inventing something does not mean you are naturally good at it. Effort is, in fact, required.

- this week's emergency budget seems to be about to cutback on public sector pensions. Because giving a public sector worker a pension is wrong? How much is Cameron getting when he retires? Oh no, wait. He's rich anyway.

Okay, back to the good news \o/:

- I managed to finally clear out the Inbox at work. I have my review tomorrow and I think it's going to be okay.

- Doctor Who was freaking amazing again. Have I mentioned how much I love Steven Moffat? And Matt Smith? This whole season has been so good. I can't wait for next week.

- I spent yesterday afternoon/evening with some friends from work, at a barbecue. Vikki (whose house it was) introduced me to her rabbits and said I was second in line for two baby bunnies when they arrive. I'm very excited.

- hils and I are going to see another house tomorrow and there are a couple more lined up ( I think) if this one isn't "the one". As much as we want to move, we don't actually have to leave for a while, so it would be nice to find a great place.

- 25 days to Psych!

- The Young Veins album is so good. I love it. I'm really pleased it's good. Different to other stuff that's around at the moment, which is a good thing. I like fresh.

- The cast of Community on Twitter = adorable.

- I've started my first hc_bingo fic... Psych Zombie Apocalypse people. It's going to be awesome.

- ditchwitchbitch bought me a pair of shorts covered in pineapples. They are the most incredible shorts in the history of the world.

- It's bedtime. :)

I'm spending a lovely long weekend with my family. I have managed to make my mum fall in love with Psych and my sister is on the verge of breaking, I can feel it. Doctor Who was so good I almost didn't believe it, but I should not have doubted Stephen Moffat. He can do no wrong.

Yesterday I took my computer to the Apple store and they said I needed a new battery and disk drive. They replaced the drive; I'll have to get the battery next time.

Now my sister and I are trying to book our holiday to Florida, for my birthday in September. \o/

As it's nearly 2010, I thought it was about time I posted what I've been doing with myself this week.

( Christmas Day: includes comments about Doctor Who, Gavin & Stacey & Catherine Tate, but no actual spoilers )

Thank you to fluttering_by and kyasuriin for the lovely cards that were waiting for me when I got home. ♥

I have no plans for New Year right now. I'm spending it completely alone for the first time in a while. I'm not sure if I should stay in or go out by myself. Either way might be fun.

I'll be posting my end of year round-up tomorrow.

If you have commented to anything over the last week I will be replying I promise. *g*

I'm now at my parents house for a couple of days catching up with them and my sister. So far that has involved watching lots of Doctor Who and if I ever say John Simm is over-acting in The Last of the Time Lords again please slap me. I still don't like it but honestly, over-acting is Who canon. ;) I love Turlough so much. I want Five/Turlough fic rather desperately.

This morning I went to see Harry Potter. Anyone who had issues with it may want to look away now ( because I freaking loved it )
