my pink half of the drain-pipe

i officially have a dead car battery/alternator.
i just got paid and desperately need to go grocery shopping.
is there anyone willing to drive me around after work tonight or tomorrow
so i can run vital errands and not starve?

i've just read the first page of h.g. wells's time machine...

and...

i think i'm in love.

i've previously enjoyed war of the worlds and island of dr. moreau
along with quite a bit of jules verne,
but this has that certain je ne sais quoi.

there is nothing in the world that i can do to make my hair behave today.

i am currently 'enjoying' a hot cuppa tea.
for the record, i make a lousy cuppa tea, i also make a lousy cuppa coffe.
i just suck at it.
even tough i am a near habitual tea drinker, i have maybe 4 times in my entire life made a perfect cup of tea.
(little cherubs circled the cup too, i swear)
needless to say the ability to make a good cuppa tea is something i value highly in others.
regardless of the quality my cuppa tea is doing exactly what i need it to, mainly keeping my hands warm and makign my knuckles less angry.

anyway.
the whole point of this post was to say that the 'fires of pompeii'
episode of nu-who is pretty awesome and feels like an old skool episode
and that catherine tate is officially a-ok in my book.

today was lovely, but colder than it was last night.
yesterday when i got home from work it was muggy and beautiful but an hour before and an hour after it was raining sideways.
yay! spring is here.

i'm wearing at least two alpacas worth of wool
and i'm still cold.

it's hard to type with gloves on.

havent done one of these in a while.

ganked ..you know, from people.

lately, ive been seeing a lot of science papers published stating thigs that i thought were very very obvious
things like: dinosaurs may have been able to swim, ancient bears were omnivorous, water is wet and so on.
this one i think is my favorite:

the fact that i never thought otherwise probably lies at the heart of at least some of my dating issues.

It's so black that light just sort of falls into it...
