thessalianI have discovered the joys of Podcasting.

dis_connection was going on about The Now Show, which I haven't thought about one way or the other in over a year but suddenly realised that I found funny. So, since he was obliging enough to include the link to the Podcast of last week's show, I decided to download it. Or rather, subscribe to the Podcast. But since I didn't have time this morning to have a listen on iTunes, I shunted it over to my iPod and had a listen there. Which resulted in me sitting on the bus on the way to Finchley Central, scaring other passengers by apparently randomly giggling like an idiot. Mitch Benn definitely has his moments, but Marcus Brigstocke is my all-time fave. I love a man who gives good rant.
Buh. My nasal passages still hurt like hell and I very much did not want to get out of bed this morning. I mean, at all. There need to be more Bank Holidays, damnit.dodgyhoodoo wants me to check out whether I can take some holiday at the end of June sometime, but June seems to be booked up. Michael's got two weeks and Angela's got a week at the end of June. I might be able to take off when Angela's off in the last week, but I want to wait until this stupid mid-May review thing is over with. After all, I don't want to take holiday in June if I'm in shit at work in May. It doesn't seem right, somehow. But we'll see. Review is coming (probably next week).
I need to do something about my Sims 2, which keeps on crashing. Usually this is in the Create a Sim section, "Make a Baby" option with this one stupid hairstyle, which apparently has teen through adult but no damn child mesh, so it goes through this godsawful crankcrankcrank thing to generate a random hairstyle for a child (blonde, for some reason, even on the brown, black or red recolours) and the extra demands on my substandard RAM causes the whole damn thing to crash and burn like the fucking Hindenburg. So not that hairdo, then. Shame; I like that hairdo.
Tonight I plan to do little but faff; we have an Invasion ep to watch but I would like to make sure that my Sims 2 does not crash and burn as a matter of course but merely does so in the face of the sequence of events outlined above so I think I'll be doing that tonight. Tomorrow I need to fend for myself in the matter of dinner becausedodgyhoodoo is in meetings. Then Friday arrives, thank the gods, and then we have weekend. Yay! Except the weekend needs to be now, please.
