Procrastination Central

the other day i got an email telling me my paid dreamwidth account was about to expire. i only use it (i think) for the icons - and i never use my icons. i've barely been using my dreamwidht. AND YET I RENEWED.

not ready to let go yet.

here's some stuff -

1. i've almost finished that fic i told you all about in february...

The kidnapping attempt fails, but it’s not the Mage’s only scheme. Eighth year begins. Tyrannus Basilton Pitch returns for the start of term – and finds his roommate missing.

clearly it took me a lot longer than i thought. (the sudden appearance of a sixth chapter is just an epilogue. i'm basically done)

2. the second series of she-ra dropped this week. it was only 3.5 hours so obviously i forced erin to watch it with me friday/saturday. it was GREAT. if you like stuff like steven universe, you should watch it. the theme tune is great. there is a flying, talking horse. in short - it's great.

3. i went to the bbc written archives with erin on friday (before we watched she-ra). must say, it's not as good as the iowa zine library, so if you can only go to one of them, choose iowa. i'm going to write about it in more detail for 'the way back' (due on the 1st - probably should get cracking), so will post about it more then. what i learned is that bbc keep a lot of stuff that interests ... auditors. what to know how much gareth thomas spent on travel and substance while he was filming 'duel'? no problem. that information is available.

4. is there a four? i don't know. i saw my mother today, and she always asks me what i'm doing with myself. (she's always doing something worth talking about; i'm usually not).

YES. there is a four. i've remembered what it is. ex-horrible histories stars/yonderlandians, are doing a new show on the beeb. it's called 'ghosts'. it's good! but, like she-ra, short.

i'm also watching 'endeavour' because it has roger allam in it. it's ok - i'm happy to watch it. it's very much not short. it does have roger allam in it.

that' what i'm doing. i'm watching tv.
