My day, the Hub, zombies and stuff.

It's been one of those crazy batshit days today. Even considering my fuzzy head and neck ache, I've been bouncing about all day. It all started when I sat down in our staffroom this morning and examined the till receipt from my early morning shop. Giant White Baps. I chuckled at first and then it turned into this massive OMGSPORFLEGUFFAW!!!! that wouldn't stop. Like people didn't already think I was nuts.
Then my friend R who sits in the desk behind me turned around and said, 'Did you see Merlin? Arthur is so hot.' That resulted in a twenty minute conversation about chest hair and blonds.
At mid-morning I had my holiday cleared for next March. HUB 2, HERE I COME!! COME ON, PAYDAY!!
Next, I surreptitiously used my work Internet (which is not supposed to be used for evil) to Google images of Gareth David-Lloyd so R could see who I apparently wanted to ride like a Harley over Brighton's pebble beach. She approved, although the picture of Jack and Ianto snogging made her turn bright red and promptly answer her phone. I don't think it was actually ringing.
This evening I took a moment to sort out my comics. I'd stopped reading them. Again. For the same reason as last time. I can't handle that Bart Allen is dead. Every so often it gets to me, frustrates me and saddens me far too much. But now I'm ready to resume reading, I can't find my Batman R.I.P list so now I have no idea what order I need to read them in for that story arc to make sense. Fuckflaps. Hello, DC, HOW ABOUT A SIMPLE NUMBERING SYSTEM ON THE FUCKING COMICS?!?!!?
Lastly, I really enjoyed the first episode of the zombie Big Brother drama, Dead Set. I thought it was going to be more comedy-based and the wobbly hand-camera gets a bit much at times, but on the whole it was very good. You don't often see true horror dramas on TV in the UK so I'll admit it's a bit of a novelty. Brilliant, though. Davina made a fabulous zombie (omg, I just typed donkey, lol).

Date: 2008-10-29 07:02 pm (UTC)I swing dramatically from utter certainty that he's coming back soon (I thought he was in the Lightning Rod but I'm all behind now so who knows) to completely convinced he won't ever come back. Ahhhhh! It makes me dislike Wally and his stupid kids. What a waste of time. Bart got bumped for that!?!?!? But the thing is I used to really Wally and I don't want to hate him ...
Thanks, luv. I pretty much ignore the Outsiders now anyway. I've lost interest now Nightwing's not leading them. I'll be alright just reading Batman, Detective comics, Nightwing and Robin?
