And the scuppers glut with a rotting red

[lizblackdog]

Spike's paw is not quite healed, but I can't take another day of this. I have to play tuggy with him even if I'm not letting him run - I can hold it so he keeps his front paws mostly off the ground. Trouble with that is that lack of exercise makes him much faster and snappier on the tuggy. He never means to nail my hand. But my pinky's still dripping blood and I am running out of fingers.

In other news, Torchwood finale and Doctor Who season opener double whammy yay! I cried like a little girl, chortled, snorted, squealed, sniffled, gasped in surprise. So very happy, so heartbroken.

Then there was Battlestar Galactica. It's been off the air too long; I've forgotten what was happening and lost much of the urge to care. The characters are still good and all but I was caught between WTF? and meh - I think RTD got all my OMGYAY!!!

I did enjoy Gaius Baltar, though. I'll give it that.

Edited to add: Oh yes. What's this I hear about half my UK-resident f-list getting snow? You utter, utter, utter, utter, utter bastards. Winter completely bypassed bloody Bournemouth yet again this year - I don't think we had more than a handful of frosty mornings, even. And now fucking summer's kicked in here, complete with sweat rash and self-loathing. I hate you all so much I can't even speak. And if any of you who're having snow live in a Council place, would you consider a swap?

my old friend from work, glen, said that the BSG ep was clearly setting up for the next ep. those are generally not as exciting as the climactic ones.

i cannot WAIT to see it!!!

Yes... I think it was partly that it's been SO long since it was last on, and partly that Doctor Who and Torchwood used up my "wow that was so awesome" quotient. But the whole mystic quest and Messianic thing was getting on my tits.

Not that I'll stop watching. It hasn't jumped the shark yet.

and talking of which, my finger hurts. bastard dog.

oh geez, more of that? i think that's my least favorite element of the show.

spike just wanted you to have a hurt finger to match his hurt foot.

Yes. All the obscurity and mysticism is very annoying.


Spike got me right on the joint and the whole thing's dark purple and swollen to twice its size. It makes typing very annoying. But I just took them to the park and managed to throw ball all right, so it's still functioning for the really important things in life.

and he isn't licking his paw after a half hour ball game, so it's obviously healed enough.

Es here. Nor sure how the snow missed you, we had it at Tara's house.

Hi honey!

Yeah, I'm on AIM with Mum now, she says it was this morning. I obviously slept through it. We were back to shirtsleeve weather* by the time I woke up.



*Okay, I mean shirtsleeve weather by my standards. It's probably tartan blanket weather for you and Mum.

Doctor Who season opener

Speaking of which, when I read that, I'm currently at Wikipedia and saw the Adipose I started laughing. How did you react when you saw Rose?



I hope the color I picked matches, if not, I'll pick another one.

edit: Third time!

How are the cats and Squish?

ha! I saw this comment in my email first and I couldn't understand why you edited; it just shows as plain text there. Yes, perfect match.

That was when I went "oooh!" Because I was all unspoiled. That was a very good moment.

Cats and Squish are good XD
