Where the hell is the remote control?

I decided I needed to check something on the net, while sitting cross-legged on the bed with a textbook to the side and the laptop in front of me and the cat purring with her head rested to the right of the touchpad, demanding to be scratched. So I'm doing my feline owner duty with the right hand and trying to navigate an overheated touchpad with the left instead. The cursor either stops moving or slows down terribly when it gets too hot. It wasn't until the cat's tail started hitting me with annoyance that I realized that I'm double-tapping and moving one finger over her head with increasing force and stroking the touchpad gently *headdesk*.

I was going to resurface these days anyway and I swear I'll be here with the Antisocial Sloth FailMore Joy Day icons no later than wednesday. Thank God I signed up for ds c6d big bang with the deadlines to nudge me to open lj /o\.

But I arrived at the right moment to hear about this idiocy, so first off- Amazon rank.
And Glitch, my ASS indeed. (ETA: Ha, it finally worked! The result's now in the first place. ETA2: Nah, slipped to second again...)
Seriously, weren't we in the 21st century last time I checked?! And to think I was so happy to finally be able to order Corambis (ironically enough, although Sarah Monette's books, incliding ACTW somehow passed unnoticed by the "glitch") by myself from them.

Weird dreams seem to plague my family lately *l*. That's what happen when your mind is in a thousand places at once :P. I caught a glimpse of All The Pretty Horses on tv yesterday, just so you know that my brain didn't suddenly come up with the rodeo thoughts on its own. *cough* Except in my dream, I was going to be breaking in what at first looked like a trotting horse, but then morphed into a huge goat. That I was gonna jump on, anyway, except suddenly one of the Anatomy TA's appeared and took it, because it was like one of those dried body parts that are used for studying. Then we went in to dissect it(which is actually done in the Pathoanatomy, and with a fresh corpse, but that'd be logic :P)...in my high school's gym. The goat was hollow and dry, but there was blood everywhere, and I remember very vividly how I was annoyed that I only had one pair of gloves and would have to dirty my hands. And it turned out there were some kind of tape worms inside. Also dried. We went for lunch at a place that is most definitely not next to my school. And during the whole thing, at the same time, at the same place, I was having a really warm and fuzzy dream about Brian and Justin being awfully cute together!! (The mechanics of that evade me.) And I was Justin(!), but just for short periods of time. (Seriously. I am very often male in my dreams. But Justin Taylor?! WTF?!). While I that was me was cutting the dead goat in the semi-parallel reality. At least I got to kiss Brian while I was Justin. That was nice. Very.
*facepalm* And it all kinda makes sense, when I put it together like that *lol* You can spare me the realistic part when I'm asleep at least, stupid subconsciousness!

That was actually going to be a post with my thoughts about Torchwood's finale and everything, but then I suddenly remembered a goat in danger of being mounted.
Anyway- let me at least complain that Owen can't have been 27! First off- Burn Gorman doesn't look 27 at all(and isn't). Second- he's a doctor for fuck's sake. Their own calculations don't add up. He must have been 23 when Jack recruited him, and and an established professional. Unless the British system is very different...that's rubbish :]. It just bugs me when people don't think when creating canon.

Gaah I can't wait for friday morning to come!Then I' going home for the weekend.I want my computer!:(( And I want to not have to be in a hurry and not know what to do first when I go online!And I certainly hate wondering how to answer questions about what I am doing whenever someone chooses to look over my shoulder!I haven't been able to read any fics or go through my flist's posts properly since I arrived here.
I'm very grumpy right now,yes.Maybe because to top it all,there is no train I can catch tomorrow after classes and I have to waste half my free friday travelling.And I had to go through half the city to find where I can buy a ticket for the day after tomorrow,because they DON'T SELL tickets at the RAILROAD STATION!Or,they do,but only for the next day.And did I mention it's raining meanwhile?
And if I miss a tutorial,I have to attend it with another group.Which,ok,sucks by itself,but it's also impossible because of how they've made the schedule!I can't go to another group's tutorial to make up for a missed one,without missing another one of mine.So to hell with anyone who falls ill.And I have to go to Varna now for my birthday,then get back for three days (thursday and friday aren't working days this week)and then go again for my father's birthday this time,all that before I can use my discount.Stupid birthdays.

Ok,I knew I'd seen Hugh Laurie somewhere the first time I saw him in House,but I couldn't remember where.Actually I do have that problem often-I memorize faces very well,so when I see somebody for more than a few minutes,I'll most likely remember their face for a long time.But I won't necessarily know why I know them.Same thing with melodies.Anyway I checked imdb.

( No wonder I didin't recognize him :D )

ETA whoops,sorry,I forgot about the cut :0)


And do you have any idea how many ways they are to write your billing address?And how all of them but one are wrong?:]
