It's just a post. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

The episode was Objects in Space, which has some of my favourite lines. Just like every other episode. I'll be making a shiny new icon from it soon-ish, just to amuse myself.

I think I may have figured out what's wrong with comment notifications in Gmail. All mine are turning up just fine, but at semi-random times. I think some piece of shiny in the Google servers is aiming to misbehave. This is based on two of my mailing lists being a bit funny in their message delivery, and I find one problem at Google much easier to believe than one in LJ and another in Y! Groups.

Today, I bought myself a notepad a6 spiral-bound acid-free cartridge-paper sketchbook, which is my version of a notepad. I like the feel of the pages and the lack of lines, but I'm odd like that. This notebook is partly to keep the stuff I consider putting in LJ posts from slipping right out of my mind when I finally get near Deepest Sender.

I did more bookshopping today, but could find neither Wicked nor Arrows of the Queen. I shall have the bookshop order them in, in a few weeks' time. My purchases have been expanded, though, with The Princess Bride, Mort and Sourcery. My buying list is massively behind still, but I plan to work on it. Also! They forced convinced me to sign up for a free loyalty programme, which essentially works out to 5% store credit for every purchase, earnable and spendable anywhere in their chain and worth double-points until the end of August. So, I'll be ordering books and trying to pay for them in advance in about a month. I'm sneaky like that.

Lastly, people on buses are odd. I know some people have a slightly harsh or aggressive tone, like they're trying to force words out instead of just speaking, but this one woman on the bus had a manner of speaking that made it sound like she wanted to bludgeon each and every word with a cricket bat until it was no longer recognisable as the speech of a personable level-headed human. What was more surprising was this, said loudly enough that you could've taken notes in the middle of a busy street in Tokyo with a loud, rusty typewriter: "I never have a lot of luck with flatmates. They always seem to move out. (beat) [Name] is moving out now, too. Just when I got to know her. (Beat) She was always saying she never gets any space or privacy. It's my house, I can do what I want."

And that's how it is for 2:25am. I'll be back shortly with an icon, I think.

Ooh. Wicked is an excellent book too.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Oooh... two votes for it. It's definitely on The List, then. :)

[theshadowlurker.livejournal.com]

The List is a myth.

WICKED! My friend just lent it to me; read it a week ago or so. It was good. *nods*

And The Princess Bride? <3

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

By William Goldman. Not Pratchett, despite its company. I'll tell you more when I read it.

[justwallpaper.livejournal.com]

Er, LiveJournal ate my heart. I'd written:

And The Princess Bride? (heart)

Because I love that book. :D

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry. The ♥ makes a lot more sense. :)

I've only been on a bus once, and that wasn't really all that terrible. It was just... not something I want to do again. Hence my vehicle.

You couldn't find Wicked?! For SHAME, I tell you! What kinda bookstore did you go to?!

My comment notifications still aren't fixed. :/

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

All the ones I could find, and a couple I couldn't. I might visit the alternative ones on Monday, and see if they have one.

My emails are still being delivered oddly, and the server load was apparently very heavy earlier. I think it's still a google issue.

Objects in Space ties for Ariel as my favorite episode. For many reasons. One of them being that they both have awesome lines.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

They do indeed have awesome lines. And Jubal is brilliantly creepy. And the end of Ariel? If ever I meet Joss, he's getting himself hugged.

[daphyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, most definitely. He looks like someone who wouldn't refuse it either. It might creep him out, but he'd finish the hug before he sent for the police :)

"Restraining order? A restraining order? Wait. Watch these DVDs, and tell me that you wouldn't have done it."

[daphyn.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, definitely.
