Caution: Plot Holes Ahead

The picture of good old Darcy getting his lust on is especially apt as I'm reading 'Death Comes to Pemberley' at the moment :) I did start wondering how the notoriously finicking Austen community felt about a profic stab at a Murder Mystery sequel to Pride and Prejudice, and then decided they were probably busy recovering from the spasms over Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Anyway, I'm now finished for the Christmas hols. Yaaaay! Everyone in our office at work has taken tomorrow off with the exception of my boss who spent all day sulking that he's going to be in on his own all day. Should've saved a day's holiday, eh?

Not that I'm doing anything madly exciting tomorrow. I'm hoping to make some real inroads in my next assignment which is a radio play adaptation of the short story I did for my last assignment. It wasn't exactly groundbreaking the first time around although possibly I may be part of a select group of people to wonder what kind of noise a wet cheese sandwich makes when it's thrown at someone...

On Saturday we head off to Rome for a few days. Hopefully it'll be fun and we'll be able to find places open to eat! We have tickets for the Vatican on Tuesday so at least we should be able to get in there okay. I'm not sure how many people to expect there at Christmas. We went at Easter last time and that was completely insane. I have the camcorders charging, my passport with the itinerary, and pocket money. Tomorrow I need to get the new printer working and book in online. Oh and pack :P But that never takes long. I'm a sweatshirt and jeans girl who generally can't wear makeup so that helps reduce wardrobe anxiery.

I'll be sure and look out for any interestingly dirty art. In Rome you don't generally have to look far ;)

The site hosting fanfic for my previous fandom is shutting down - not soon but certainly eventually - and it's making me feel a little nostalgic for the first fandom I ever wrote in. So just for the memories here are the first boys I ever wrote about.

*I can't find their actual kiss on youtube any more. This makes me sad :(

I dunno what's wrong with me. I was plowing along quite happily with RiH last week and then it fell apart. Now I can't get anything done past poking and fiddling. I have a dozen things that I'm trying to do, not including RiH which I honestly have no idea what to do with any more, and I can't do anything much with any of them. 

Bugger :(  

I thought some of the dialogue in Heroes was pretty painful but the film I'm turning off halfway through takes the prize:

Woman: Men don't want that when they look at a pretty woman. But one day I won't be so pretty. But this land will be.

Me: Who the hell told you that people like to hear you talking about how pretty you think you are? What are you, six? That's not attractive.
