Results of CT scan, nothing much. Now what.

Friend's aquaintance's trial now in public domain so can now twll you the only way the police caught the guy stealing letters for two years (enough to fill a garage and a small room in the house) WAS NOT BY TRACING AND LOGGING COMPLAINTS BUT BY A PLOD LITERALLY PUTTING HIS FOOT IN A BAG AND TRIPPING OVER IT, AND HIS COMPANION THNKING THAT WAS A BIT DODGY THAT IT WASN'T GARBAGE BUT 6000 UNOPENED LETTERS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE FLOOR ...

Trip to Cardif with Alhai great, but leg numbness a problem on the way home... shhe is a genius with booking and planning, you know.

Computer borked, still using the kiddies' ThinkPad which gives new meaning to the word slow. Apart from the Basildon Police standard of slow of course...

Money borked and properly, my credit rating is so bad that I have been turned down for a pay as you go card... I wish to hell that was just a joke (memo to self, start performing as standup you coward, there are no reasons left to say no now)

I now know that the double letters I type are due to my brain. Bugger, why cant the government officer writing me cheques stutter and add a few zeros...

Anyone there out in Merlin land?:)

Real life and an IBM thinkpad ate the previuos version of this post, so I summarise.

Kids' computer, limited time, school sorted for oldest hooray, uniform bought and sorted at great expense and parking probs, driving in the morning a consumer unfriendly competative stream of metal hat I thought i\'d enjoy but don't, girly happy at school whose motto is "To learn and to care" which is suitable for her  utterly te CT scan is with consultants still which is hopefully good, blood tests say I am not diabetic anaemic with good liver kidney blood ox levels, there is a good result for  the youngest girl at her school since the rubbish staff left en mass at the end of last term, and Tom Price has work on the pre-recorded TV voice over genre daily on a cable network yeah.

A[pologies if any of the TP news is previous old gossip, it's ust nice to see a suggestion to his wife bear fruit.  My smug factor stops me from getting out of the door for that, and hooray for the regular income for him.

This key boars shows up my ropy typing technique with the finger tremors resulting in repeat letters, aha¬ Main luxury keyboard still borked and busted a bit so bear with me.

Melin on next week, with all the slash fans getting their firtys in a twist as Arthur snogs Gwen.  Yikes, the story getting in the way of te  slash? Never!  Write on and get alternative!

Answer this and stay fashionable, love you lts see you soon.

and the amazing robling_tsteals my heart.

I just had the CT scan done, it was an electric donut that made my head feel like it was in a washing machine.  The tube one is an MRI, the serious jobby for a lot of House MD type investigation and flummery.

The lap top died finally, with what woulsd otherwise be a cute FX wisp of smoke as well. I go to Cardiff, HAVE SUCH A BRILL TIME  just walking around and stuff and having chips with cheese and gravy within  a line-up of the Millenium Stadium as well, and in a proper Welsh cafe, with a Greek-Chinese staff and a menu of allsorts of everything written above the counter in painted board writing just like racing dogs at the betting ring.  My father would have enjoyed it in the spirit and in the excecution, it was always his dream to retire to that and have the world come in and have teea toast and a roll through the papers.  There was hardly 10foot across the place, and it went to the back in true funny shaped build ing style .  Me and alhai(LJ) sat our three kids at a table and ourselves at another and met, planned and had a start o f a great meal.  I seem to have a talent for shopping and eating out , and that works.  I love places like that.

The plas was teh Plas, and there were regrettable placements of memorials at the Fake tourist office door for Ianto.  I cringed as an older civilian couple asked Al what it was all about, and will resort to placing pics from previous times in the  LJ if I need.  NO FANS< just no thankyou for me.  I f it works for you then go donate rather than blur the real and fic world.

Bright sun and Xcellnt pics YEAH BABY! although you wil have to wait till the household gods and my money give me back the laptop or something similar, cannot upload  pics from phone at the internet cafe.  They do brilliant toast here and have zero idea of portion control about jam heee!

So far just this week alone Cardiff approx £200 including rail there and back and room at a rreat price for THREE  people and food and ice cream and postage of souvenirs abroad.....
AND £227 car insurance for the year.....And £140 Credit card for other stuff including tickets and travel to Hub2 all those monthe#s ago.

My pocket is empty and the piggy bank broken into and in shards on the floor then in an idle moment I see Tom Price is doing the one man show tonight just along the road.  Drattit, the firstborn and second squid are not available to be sold (Clarkson joke there not serious) so I shall have to be ingenious in the extreme or even crafty.

Stay at home and miss Tom???

Can't insert pic here due to cafe limited thingy, which would have made my arguement just concise and pithy and amusing, sort of a look at him, how could I not  sort of a deal. So use the imagination, and hope he is wearing specs again... see what I did there?  How much change is there in the  girls' sofa upstairs... and I do have a credit card for the train ticket... ha! Solved.

Keyboard- not good, operating time 10 min max before overheating.

Cardiff - Monday, tickets bought and hotel booked.

MRI - booked but clashes. Dammit to all heck and back.

Car - sorted and parked in a good spot for the weekend yay!

Packing - done mentally, some stuff on hangers to dump in 24 hours ahead

Squee factor - high and rising!!1

If there are any fanbleugh moments I shal take pics and post them.  Ought people leave flowers at the fake Tourist Office door? No. If you are going to spend a fiver buy network time and  petition, send an item, or even donate to the charity.
Yes, aknowledge your feelings. No to feeding the monster ego of he who shall not be Voldemort...

I have promised to send something useless and Welsh to people when I'm thee.  There is an RTD jioke in there somewhere but I just can't think of it at the moment.

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH THIS
As I am apparently incapable of STANDING NEAR someone without people assuming we're dating, I've come up with a solution:

I AM NOW DATING EVERYONE IN THE WORLD

Including my own family, people who are dead, and people who haven't been born yet. THIS INCLUDES YOU.

Hopefully it will cut down on confusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are now officially APARTNERS, you reading this and I. That makes you some type of stepparent figure, and stuff the age gap yeah! As I am  already dating the rest of the world it makes it easy to shop and just let me know when it's your turn on the rota to move in.

SORTED.

Apparently it has been more foot in mouth for RTD at Comic Con.

The only producer to ever have a hostile crowd at  the event, it is sad to report that RTD was pleased with that DW ep "girfriend in a pavingstone"( Love and Monsters) and was apparently smug.  I have a ref to a fic that expresses one person's peevedness at this.
http://loveslashangst.livejournal.com/51330.html  The comments on the fic are lush, and from people who were there themselves also.

On another note I wish heartily people would stop leaving flowers at the Not Tourist Office Hub door location site in Cardiff. No to that, it spoils the pictures.

And so what if JB has to support RTD, he needs to be somewhere in the Whoniverse, people, and not in that shiny suit pretending to be a wholesome family entertainer...when's the adoption going through, Scott and JB?? That I want for you both.

But says little to rock the boat.  And TW4 is not certain.

Actually the header picture of her looks pretty damn good.

After swooning like a Victorian heroine earlier on today, it gives me pleasure to report nothing much on the RTD front.  If the TW4 statement turns out to be true, then it is interesting to consider the RTD timing of his statement about TW4.

Oh yes you do care, come on; even YOU are not that jaded by the RTD whoopie cushioning of us with real nasty smells...he does remind me of that boy no-one wanted to invite to the party but turned up anyway...

Well, time to update everyone on the real life events that make up my crazy life.

Take the time to read the comments, it is balanced and expresses the depths and shallowness that any audience may have in response to a TV show, including the sellout opinion. Being sold out would explain the cheated feeling that many fans do seem to have.  No NuTorchwood, kthx. Ive lived through enough new Doctors and the agony that is on the British consciousness.  Toning down the Gay for the US market? Perfectly possible in the money driven world even before money went mad six months ago and the production costs and my cost of living nearly doubled. 

No, really, doubled. 

What price creativity? Clearly at the time that RTD and DT announced they were leaving was when all this was put together as a viable project and given the go.  That  goahead was the parting shot, and that GDL is in pantomime this christmas is kind of the death knell of this part of his career.  Minor TV character in panto in a town nowhere near any of the important cities ( argue  I dare you) is customarily reserved for someone ten or twenty years away from the best years of their fame. Wow does he want to bury that stereotype or what...
It's not even Guildford or Basildon, people!

Will I travel to see him there?  I'd rather see  Tom Price that famous second prizewinning comedian who also acts. And appears vaguely near London.  Will I see GDL in Newport for Blue Gillespie? Yes. I can't quite say anytime, but yep.  I like a good laugh.

Oh ha ha LJ Writers block idea ( TW season 3 reaction SPOILER )

From Twitt, that social enabling network  Not written by me. Available to public view.

• (After ep 3 aired) I get that some people are upset, but are sickened at some of what is being said.
  
• So much hate and theats and vitrol at RTD, the writers, other fans,

• (Then 3 hours later) I've gotten to finish ep 4.... I feel physically sick after this ep . what the hell was RTD thinking?

I just put them in my journal, I swear to God.

I shaved my cat in the heatwave.  she is 23 y/o and lives in the garden because she is not housetrained any more. When we had a hard 3 days winter minus 8/10C earlier this year we brought her in and she pooped on my bed. There are some things that are not OK and that is one of them. We feed tend water groom and chat to her daily, but she is the equivalent of a 95 year old human and can't find her own bowl sometimes so we have to put her in front of it.*sigh* I've had her as a pet longer than any of my marriages or children, and she knows this. Am I actually married to a cat, good heavens.

Redscharlasch says this so well.

( spoilers for day 4 )

My family is so crap that people (plural) in prison are sending me letters of support.

DON'T ANYONE TELL AMNESTY!!!1!
I now have the complete repetoir for being a stand-up comedian/enne.

I have converted  a family to TW.  They are recording TW digitally for me. These are their reactions.  A fresh eye works well.
