♥ This evening, Katie and I switched our gas and electricity to one supplier that will save us lots of money - woo! Crucially, we have been proactive and sensible and adult. Go us.

♥ Spin ris for tea - yum. You're never alone with a bit of spin ris.

♥ In the course of writing fic, I have learnt new things. Angola, on the south west coast of Africa, was a Portuguese territory between the c16th and 1975. "Mitochondrial Eve" is the theoretical most recent common matrilineal ancestor of humans today, and is believed to date to anywhere between 50,000 and 215,000 years ago. "Y-chromosomal Adam" is the theoretical most recent common patrilineal ancestor of all Y-chromosome humans today, and is believed to date to about 60,000 to 90,000 years ago.

♥ Ha. We're watching Green Wing. SO MADE OF WIN!

♥ I realised today that I had made an incorrect mental note about when we're going to see Arcadia. It's on Monday! Woo! So excited!

♥ We just had two giant monster flying beetles in the living room. Freakish. They were like tiny insect Zeppelins.

♥ FFS there's nothing as annoying as old-school fans who get pissy at those damned new like-the-shallow-pretty-boys newbie fans and their Kirk/Spock porn. I'm sorry, what? Do you recognise your fandom?


ETA - Also, does anyone happen to have my S3 DVDs of The West Wing? Or S1 of Supernatural?

Oh Green Wing <3

If you were researching the fic which I am tryign VERY hard not to rad on account of being in series 1 still :-S anyway if you'd been writig it a month and a half ago I'd be telling you to watch The Human Journey presented by Alice Roberts.... it may still be on iPlayer I guess but whatever it was really kind of fascinating.

GREEN WING!! That was the awesomest show ever. Like Scrubs but more insane, really.

.... ever since BSG finished, every time I read/hear something about Mitochondrial Eve I get twitchy, 'cause, y'know.... Daybreak, and stuff... and Hera...

*ahem* Yeah, I overconnect. Frequently.

"Guy, did you take a cat and a gun into Mac’s ward?"

I know, I can't get the end of BSG out of my head, now! Suspect I may be ficcing for a little while on the subject...

Oh, Green Wing. I love it so.

Kathye might have your S3 West Wing as I *still* have Darren's so she was forced to borrow yours. Or, being a normal person, she might have watched them and Given Them Back.
Kathye, should you be reading this then please shout if you want them back. I do want to watch them but am inordinately slow. But I did watch one on Saturday - am onto disc 3 now.

Liss, I have all your OTH DVDs.

Ha ha ha, I see what you did there...

And, yes, Kathye, that explains everything. I simultaneously didn't think you had them but had your name popping into my head, but if Kathye borrowed them because you had Darren's it all makes perfect sense. Woo.

There should be a word for ‘Being forced to borrow DVDs from friend B because friend A has yours’.

I must admit to being quite impressed when mention of Mitochondrial Eve showed up on my friends list. Especially coming from a non-archaeologist. Gold start for achievement for you, my dear!

Woo! Go me and knowledge! Or, y'know, Wikipedia...

Anyway, since you appear to have knowledge too, riddle me this... actually, wait. Are you watching BSG? Are you like to? Am I going to spoil you if I speak of it?

[ungratefulwench.livejournal.com]

I don't watch BSG/am incredibly unlikely to ever watch it. I tried back when it first came out and the constant religious overtone, coupled with the word 'frak', put me right off. So spoil away.
