Yes, another holiday

altogetherisi From Canada, to Greece!
I'm sitting in a cafe in Greece now, on the waterfront. I've been drinking this single coffee for an hour now while I use the free wifi. I'd order another, but I don't want to consume too much cafeine. Despite being here, away from it all, I'm watching PMQs from earlier today - playing very slowly over this connection, but playing none the less. On which note, if any one would like to leave idiot proof instructions for how to do something to my IP address so that I could use the iPlayer over here, I'd be so grateful. September is a lovely time for a holiday, but it is the month when everything - Parliament, Merlin, Glee, Mock the Week - starts up again.

Speaking of Merlin, I kinda fell out of fandom last year - it was one of the things I lost track of when I hit my downward spiral last year, and at the time I hardly minded, but now I miss it. So, when I can, should I go back and watch the eps I missed from last series, or should I just jump back in with this series and figure it out? I assume nothing major has happened (ie character death, big magic reveal, Arthur and Merlin having magical fireworks sex in front of everyone etc etc).
***
I hate my college. Right now, I want to go back this October more than I want to take a gap year, sure, but the difference between these options is dwindling in the face of how much I want to freaking know which it is. FFS, just tell me. God. It is now Sept the freaking 15th. If I'm going back this year, it'll be in a couple of bloody weeks. A bit of notice might be polite, no?
***
So, for no particular reason, I think everybody should read the entries for this latest round of the anon fanworks fest thing that is the wonderful goblinmarket_sw. I mean, read everything. But particularly the latest round :P Go Team RarePear!

ETA: Would anyone like a ticket to see John Barrowman in Oxford on Oct 1st?

Date: 2010-09-17 03:24 pm (UTC)Haha, I am slightly pleased it is cold in England. Since you guys have TV to comfort you and all. And the Pope! Lucky England! Hahahaha. LOL, England. It's warm here, but not sweltering like I'm used to in July and August - somehow I have managed to arrange it so that Canada was hotter than Greece. There is a pleasant breeze going through my hair right this second. I'm in heaven.
Merlin's scripts were never it's strong point, true, though I seem to remember thinking the eps in the second series that I saw being a bit better written than the first IMO. As long as there is still pretty people and magic and a bit of banter I expect I'll be happy enough.
Oh gosh, your poor grannie, I really do hope she's alright. Can you believe I actually haven't been into the Ashmoeleon since all the new stuff got done? I'm outside there a lot - I walk past it to get to my favourite cocktail place, um, often, and if people are picking up or dropping off in cars we inevitably stop just outside it. But I haven't actually bothered to go in for absolutely ages, I really must when I get back. It's terrible how I take Oxford for granted.
Come and see John Barrowman with me. It's at 7.30 on a Friday night, Bristol really isn't that far away. You could get a train, it's less than two hours apparently, and write while on it! It would be awesome. You could have the ticket for £25? It's Row D, you'd be practically sitting in his lap. If you could get the afternoon off I would show you the magical stationery shop. Which, I think you'll agree, would be most excellent. Come along (Pond)!
