She knows, when he comes home, that something’s gone wrong. And not just a bit wrong, but giant-scale, life-changing wrong. For a start, though she can tell he’s been to the pub, he’s still home fairly early, and he’s not even approaching drunk, and Gene’s a man who likes his drink.

1. We went to see Russell Howard on Wednesday. It was brill. Very funny, although I now sadly cannot remember anything he said. Laughed my giant mutant head off, though.

2. Apparently we’re off to climb Mount Snowdon on 16-18 March. As a department. I am unconvinced by this plan, mainly because, although in my head I enjoy hiking and what have you, I feel in practise it is not the Best Plan Ever. Because I’m used to being able to bop around and be hike-y (having done it all the time, on protest, as a child), but actually the sad fact is that I’m not quite so boppy, on account of being tremendously unfit. But I think it’s one of those things that in terms of being part of the team etc I kind of have to go on.

3. Ye gods, I’m paranoid at the moment. I mean, I’ve always been a bit paranoid, but now I’m taking it to extreme lengths. It’s like a peculiar kind of egocentricity: I’m convinced that as soon as I leave a room the people in it will be talking about me. I really hate this, but I’m not sure how to sort it out.

4. I seem to have turned into some species of fic monster. This is a bit strange, but I’m sort of proud of it. I was quite pleased with my Life on Mars effort.

5. Ah, TV.
i. Heroes. God, I love that programme. There was a very interesting situation developing in the Bennett household at the end of the last ep, and I fear for Mohinder…
ii. Life on Mars. This show rocks. I love English TV.
iii. Hotel Babylon. I had forgotten, between the last series and this, how much I love this programme. It’s incredibly stupid and fluffy, but so deeply satisfying at the same time. Yesterday’s ep was *genius*.

6. I came *this* close to solving the ‘difficult’ su doku in thelondonpaper. Rah. I am a logical person (a meme told me so *g*), and yet I am completely crap at logic puzzles. This makes me cross.

7. We have run out of chocolate cupcakes. Si triste. I shall make some more at the weekend.

I thought it might be vaguely interesting to actually make a list of the fandoms in which I have been involved (even if only peripherally), and the extent of that involvement.

Is it a code?
