Two quick things:

Denise has a fabulous post about 'real name' policies that is worth a read if you are interested in such things.

Second: my housemate and I are now going to be recieving BOXES OF VEGETABLES. Like, organic vegetables that somebody else grew but which will MAGICALLY APPEAR AT OUR HOUSE. I am getting quite excited about this, but am an indifferent cook who has no motivation for lengthy and exciting cookery. But you, dear folk of the internet, might know of good recipe sites or other places which might actually inspire best use of this new bounty. Any suggestions?

From a nasty start, today has turned into a BEAUTIFUL day! And soon I am off for the weekend! I am a cheerful, albeit sleepy, Katie. How are you?

There has been dashing and crashing and shenanigans, but also, new Doctor Who! Dude, I need a new icon!

( latest Who, spoilers ahoy )

Other news: Ellen Page is kind of one of the best things ever, just saying.

Finally, a housekeeping note - I'm doing a bit of flist trimming, in a 'cack, I can't realistically keep up with everyone' way. It's not a big deal, I hope, but I figure not mentioning it would probably bring drama, and also it is worth re-iterating that it's always De-friending Amnesty Day here for anyone who'd rather not listen to me blather. :)

I got to spend some time with catwalksalone and her husband TB yesterday, and this was an utter delight, as ever. We had yummy dinner - in a ridic posh house, I am easily intimidated by houses (what?) but it was GORGEOUS - and lovely conversation and more weeks should have a Cat and a TB in them.

However, apparently the whole thing where Cat has a field of FAIL that follows her around like a particularly fail-y stalker is true, because omg, I managed to drop my Blackberry and break the LCD, rendering my beloved useless until I manage to get it mended. And then I come home, replace my old crap screen with the shinier one Cat and TB were nice enough to give me, and... MY COMPUTER HAS DIED. Luckily, I reinstalled Windows and it seems to be creaking along all right except for suddenly and mysteriously not knowing I have speakers, but SERIOUSLY.

The SAME DAY. And the same day I got a Cat. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.[/totes true science because it obviously has nothing to do with me being a dumbass and my desktop being older than dirt]

So, yeah. Um, if I am not responding to texts or calls, that is why. I'm probably not going to be on Twitter much either, because while I love it omg, it is an epic timesink when you can't randomly check it while waiting for the bus.

(Seriously, my Blackberry was in its protective leather case and everything! *cries*)

Luckily, being the technologically dependent person I am, I gots a laptop. *g*

In less me-related news... I haven't seen all of Castle season 2 yet, but I have now seen the Halloween episode, and my main thought is LOL. I especially loved the musical references to go with the, um, flashback to five years ago. Haha.

Dear North East,

You are very pretty and have awesome milkshakes and also Cat and TB-the-person-not-the-hideous-wasting-disease and their very, very cute kitten. These are all very good things.

Keep up the good work,
Katie

Dear self,

You, on the other hand, are all tired and weirdly dizzy today. That had better just be sleepiness and not getting sick. Just so you know. You have stuff to do and a Harry Potter movie to see and generally no time to even consider such a thing until *checks calender*... two weeks on Monday. Possibly. This also applies to accidents caused by things like accidentally hitting yourself in the head with your phone. TWICE.

warningly,
yourself, you dumbass

Dear Torchwood,

Okay, that wasn't anything like any other series or episode of Torchwood at ALL, but I still think it was excellent. Wow. I completely never thought I would say this, but I am still sort of mulling on it, and that was really good. Goddamn.

Impressed, and also in the "you have the imprint of a brick in your head" way,
Katie
