Jon: I think if you look at me, you’ll find the choice between cardigan and looking sexy does not have to made. Right, guys? *smug* Cardigan on, or cardigan off?
Audience: ON!!

Hey! I have a new radiator!
And let me tell you, I’m rocking a vest top right now, because my room is TOASTY.
Getting it installed yesterday was something of an inconvenience, since it took them 5 HOURS to do. I stupidly had 3 cups of tea in the morning, and because they were putting in a new boiler too, it meant I couldn’t use the toilet. So I walked to Kim’s work (a sports...

Why I’m not wearing purple
I have seen something pop up quite regularly on tumblr, and I thought I would contribute to the discussion. Firstly, the “wear purple to remember the people who committed suicide because they were gay” and secondly the facebook conversation about said event and how they wouldn’t participate for various idiotic reasons.
I’m not wearing purple today for 2 reasons:
I’m not gay myself, so wearing...
The First Men In The Moon was excellent. That is all.

I watched Pillars Of The Earth last night with my parents and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next episode.
I especially enjoyed this man:
Why hasn’t he been on TV more??

I’m in a great mood again today :D
Jo (my boss) told me that I’m getting an extra 50 quid for meeting my target of 75 contacts! I’ve also been given the title of “International Resourcer” for my e-mail signature. I’ve been promoted from Junior Resourcer! :D
Also: this was the view from the 11th floor (I’m on the 12th) of Rodwell Tower on Tuesday....

Well today was going quite well until I got home.
Good news: My job is great, I only have to go in at 8:30 tomorrow, because we have “desk chaos”, HIGNFY is on tonight, Jon Richardson is on it, I got to the train platform with only a minute to wait before the train arrived, had 2 nice conversations with my fellow colleagues at work (they both asked how I was settling in) and it was...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, p....
Snape: But Potter seems to have a lot to say on the subject. Let us ask Potter how we would tell the difference between an Inferius and a ghost.
Harry: Er--well--ghosts are transparent.
Snape: Oh, very good. Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'
Harry: Yeah, ghosts are transparent, but Inferi are dead bodies aren't they? So they'd be solid--
Snape: A five-year-old could have told us that much. The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spells. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost, as I trust that you are all aware by now, is the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth...and of course, as Potter so wisely tells us, transparent.
Ron: Well, what Harry said is the most useful if we're trying to tell them apart! When we come face-to-face with one down a dark alley, we're going to be having a shufti to see if it's solid, aren't we, we're not going to be asking, 'Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?'

Good News/Bad News
I can’t really decide which it is. The basic facts are that my room has always been freezing cold in the winter, because it’s at the corner of the house and above the garage; our boiler is 20 years old or so and about to explode and kill us, or leak carbon monoxide and kill us; and so we’re getting a new one, plus I’m getting a new radiator (a double one). This means:
Good...

Since everyone keeps raving about how awesome Sherlock is, I thought I’d give it a go.
You’re all absolutely right! It’s completely splendid!
The writing in particular is hilarious; I get the impression that Moffat is tailoring to his slash-fiction-writing fanbase. See the restaurant scene for evidence of this. (Not that I disapprove, you understand)

I’ve noticed that whenever someone I like starts talking on a panel show (e.g. Charlie Brooker on WILTY?), I start hugging myself with joy…
Is that bad?

Their gigs or sets or whatever the fuck they ares don’t flow properly, and I sort of cringe for them because they usually do the same *thing* each time they’re doing a *thing*. It’s unbearable. xD

Milton Jones in particular ARGHHHHHH

Right, I’ve caught up with Mock The Week and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow.
Mock The Week: A very excellent episode, because I actually liked ALL of the comedians on it, which is a rare thing. Pity that the Wheel Of Mock had Andy Parsons on it instead of Chris Addison though. Definitely #needsmorechris. Also, I’ve only just heard Miles Jupp (I kept thinking he was someone...

The long awaited NEW JOB post
Since I’m not going to work tomorrow (they’re all off on some form of excursion to York), I figure that I’ve spent a week there and therefore it’s time to blog about it.
Firstly: it’s awesome. So very much so. And here’s why:
I’m on the 12th floor right next to the window (which offers fantastic views over western Manchester)
I have to get the train...

Today was my last day as an unemployed person! Hopefully that will be a permanent thing; let me never have to go back to Job Centre Plus ever again! It really is horrific inside. I feel so scummy going in there :(
But for now let me rejoice! For I almost forgot that I need not get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow, since they’re letting me start at 10am on the first day, instead of 8am. I am...
