Tales from the wine rack  
Horribly behind on replies to comments - will get to those soon, I promise. (speaking of -  [livejournal.com profile] sarakat? Do you have an email address I can contact you about [livejournal.com profile] zeppo_stillness? if you'd rather not post it, can you email me at shona[at]moments-lost.co.uk - thanks!) I kinda downed a bottle of particularly good Kumala Shiraz this afternoon whilst re-installing Windows on my laptop (again) - thus losing every single piece of writing and art I had on there in the process (I had no choice, it wouldn't boot up no matter what I did, I had to do a complete system restoration) - and I'm kinda... what's the word again... oh yeah, drunk. At half past four on a Sunday afternoon. *g*

I have to say right now that [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra has the best taste in films *ever* and knows me apparently better than I know myself. I loved Secretary (plan to re-watch it again tomorrow) but Wonder Boys? Wow. Despite the fact I kinda hate most of the cast, and it did take a lot for Sharon to convince me it was worth watching, I adore this film. I must own it now.

On to Melinda & Melinda next.

Sharon? Thank you honey!

(btw, my car is now working again! I love my car. And it cost around half the amount I was expecting. I thought it would take at least a thousand to keep it on the road, it was 400+ but I have to get it serviced and MOT'd yet. so [livejournal.com profile] acrazywench? I can definitely send you the cheque for NFA this week. And you, [livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl and I will need to talk about what's going on with that soon!)

I've re-worked INAP by the way - the default view should be Kayla Shay's wonderful banner and I have [livejournal.com profile] gumboy's animated banner in as an alternate layout. If they're not displaying properly, could you let me know? Ta!

Oh - knew there was something else I had to share. My appointment with Norman the psychology guy on Hallowe'en? Has resulted in a referral to a counselling service. My first proper appointment is on Wednesday. I'm officially in therapy on the NHS. How screwed up am I? </irony> Seriously though - I am so relieved that the crap I've been going through over that past ten/fifteen years is actually treatable, that there is something that can be done with me. I am not looking for comfort, I am screwed up, I know this, but the screwiness is definable and treatable. That takes such a weight off of my shoulders right now. So I'm actually in a wierd way, happy that I'm seeing a psychologist. Now I just have to explain to my boss why I have to take 3/4 of a day off work for a doctor's appointment. :)

ETA OH! More updates to WKA Nominees! *hugs flist* the emails will be on their way tomorrow, don't trust myself to send them right now!

randomly, what does it say about me that despite having had very little to eat and a full bottle of wine, I can still code HTML? *g*

That when I introduced you to the wierd and wacky world of web coding I created a monster.

With you on the losing stuff thing. Upgraded to XP yesterday and after carefully saving all the emails from my home account - I proceeded to do the installation without shifting the emails over to Ben's PC - backed up everything else - just not those... Gah.

Maybe I should start calling you Frankenstein? Or would that make you Ken Brannagh and me De Niro? *g*

I really hope you didn't lose anything important in those emails?! (Personally I think I had everything I was currently working on saved to a USB memory stick which I hope wasn't still in the pocket of the jeans currently in the washing machine (although right now the fact that the USB stick is attached to a keyring with a genuine film cell from Serenity that I got at the Serenity convention is worrying me more than any silly fic or art project... *g*)

(Have you noticed yet that I ramble about nothing when I've had a drink - of course, when we met I was driving so therefore was sober. You need to bring Ben and come visit some time soon! (There's going to be a Serenity/Firefly convention in Glasgow this year - you guys have to come see us!))

Yay for Shiraz induced html coding - I am in awe. *thinks perhaps that might help me?*

We'll speak soon about NFA>

LOL! I love your icon!

I think I may have some version of OCD that allows me to code web code without actually having to think about it - you want it? Feel free! *g*

(by the way - you should take a look at [livejournal.com profile] spring_of_cordy... fan-videos.... *g*.)

Remind me (in case I forget) that I want to chat with you about fan videos? I have some ideas I want to work with and I'm having rouble working out how to get the clips from the DVDs.
[identity profile] thedothatgirl.livejournal.com on February 19th, 2006 10:23 am (UTC)
Well I wouldn't have the icon if it weren't for those tuts you sent me ;)

I'll check out Spring of cordy etc

Yep I am happy to help with the DVD thang. Just email me when the bottle is empty *snigger*

Ha! I rock :op I knew you'd love it :o) (Play have it for £4.99 btw)

I can't wait to get home and have a wee glass of wine myself. Stupid work.

I currently can't decide if I'm going to watch the BAFTAs tonight or not, it may result in too much shouting at the TV......
