...way out on the corner of fucked up and evil...

Blargh! i have been off work the last two days with an ear infection and it is utterly horrible. Not being off work, obviously, although given the choice I would prefer to save my sick days for times I don't feel so awful, but the ear infection part of it. I get them a lot, so I pretty much know what to expect, but that doesn't make it less shitty.

So, I'm sat here trying to eat this bowl of cereal, because I'm starving but also kind of nauseous from the pain in my head, and I'm watching Power Rangers (because I've finished the third season of the Tribe and damn it, I'm ill, I deserve more Dwayne Cameron!) and you know, off your face with pain and exhaustion and sleeping pills that don't fucking work for moer than an hour at a time, it becomes strangely compelling. Dwayne Cameron will now be known as Pretty Soldier Sailor Bray for the rest of his days, due to his excessively sparkly transformation sequence. No kidding, it's approximately 98% more sparkly than any of the other Rangers. He even does the Sailor Mercury staff-twirly-around thing.

There was something else I came on here to say, but I can't remember what it was. Pretty Soldier Sailor Bray and Falcor should totally team up though. FALCOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Oh my God, I am so out of it.

Big Wolf on Campus makes Miami Vice references! It can't be natural to be as pleased by this as I am, but come on, "Next week we'll be discussing the rise and fall of Don Johnson"? Mr D, you are my hero even if you do eat cute monkeys and pick fights with teenaged boys dressed as Micheal Jackson!

In other news, my Gay Pirate Book* has arrived, courtesy of Liam Neeson and Royal Mail, along with the second season of Miami Vice (OMG, that dude stole his Ferrari! Kill him, Elvis!) and the first season of Drawn Together. Not that this prevented me splurging on the Chronicals of Narnia boxset in Computer Exchange and discussing the Neverending Story with the cashier, but still, that should satisfy my entertainment needs until the third season of XM:E comes out.

*Captain Hook: the Adventures of a Notorious Youth, by JV Hart and illustrated by the guy who illustrates the Lemony Snicket books. I'm on a Peter Pan kick this week.

If I had a mood theme on this journal, it would be a picture of some Victorian lady laying back on a sofa with her arm raised and the back of her hand pressed against her forehead. For I am swooning liek whoa.

"What's this?", I hear you cry. "How can it be that Froodle, whose very name is synonymous with manly fortitude, could be reduced to a state of swoonification? Has the world gone mad?!"

Because today, I met John Connolly. And he was so charming, I swear to God. And he signed by copy of Black Angel, and he talked to me and asked me stuff about what I was doing, and he shook my hand and wished me good luck with my exams, and I mentioned that I would have to do an advocacy exam when I went back to the Island if I wanted to practice there, and he said that he'd been to the Isle of Man a couple of years ago and I said I know, and he remembered my mum! And he said that she was nice to him, but there was this guy who wanted his books signed and asked if he was John Connolly, and he said he was, and the guy said "That picture on the inside of the jacket must have been taken a long time ago!" and I laughed and said that was typical of Manx people, and he rolled his eyes and said "No wonder they put you all on an island!" and then he talked about how Irish people liked to go there for their holidays because it was almost like England but not really, and then he talked about a Japanese horror movie called the "Audition" and he gave me a CD and some postcards and then he asked me what the book I was holding was and it was a copy of the Neverending Story and I said that if I bought it I would have to go and watch the film again, and he asked if that was a law and I said it was and he laughed and oh my God, he was just so lovely and I think I might be going into Fangirly overload so I'm going to stop now.

Okay, I'm really done now.
