I only wish it were true.

You scored as Lord Havelock Vetinari. You are Lord Vetinari! Supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork! Cool, calculated, and always in control. You graduated from the assassins guild, but failed a course on stealth and camouflage, because the professor never saw you there (even though you attended every class). You always seem to know what everyone is thinking, and after a conversation with you, people feel that they have just escaped certain death.

Well, I didn't cheat at all, and yet this is so very not right ^_^ Damn, I *wish* I was more like Lord Vetinari!

*eyes today's outfit, which coincidentally features a black velvet jacket of a pattern most normally associated with Anthony Ainley's incarnation of the Master, or Edmund Blackadder in Blackadder the Second.* Well, okay, I'll admit Vetinari is an ideal to which I sometimes actively aspire.

So, apologies for the unscheduled down-time this last few days - as Nee-sama already pointed out, it almost certainly wasn't *our* fault. I love that the worst happened when I'd just done a fic update and posted a new site. Ohhh happiness. We're just waiting for our webhosts to upload some godawful three year old backup copy over the top of our nice freshly fixed and uploaded sites. Huzzah.

In other (veryverydull) news, I'm back in Oxford, occasionally pretending to do some work (which is why I'm procrastinating by blogging, natch), and I haven't actually spoken to anyone I know in a format that is not typed in...hmmm, nearly a week now! -1st week is always a strange thing. No one about, no seminars, no choir. So I've compensated by buying More Blakes 7 Than The Human Mind Can Comfortably Conceive (of). (I think the phrase is from Hitch-hiker's Guide somewhere, only, y'know, not in relation to Blakes 7, and I'm sure it doesn't include the preposition. Which seems...odd. To me.) I've now got the first two seasons in shiny DVD box set form, which means I've been rewatching at every available opportunity, scampering back to the old fic archive I used to frequent, and generally fangirling Avon and Servalan (though not together, for preference. Not that Avon/Servalan would be in any way *implausible*, you understand, it's just the fast track to Very Unpleasant Things, I'm sure of it >_< Not to mention poor Blake would be heartbroken. ....okay, no he wouldn't. I sometimes like to pretend he would. *sighs*) to anyone who turned up and gave the impression of listening.

Oh yes, and I also bought Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Reservoir Dogs, the Errol Flynn Robin Hood, and the first half season of All Creatures Great And Small. Because my tastes are eclectic, and I have frivolous Christmas money to be spending.

So, if anyone's in Oxford, and reads this, and wants coffee or strange DVD-watching, then please give me a text. Talking to myself is all very well, but the conversation can get a little predictable.

Can get predictable I agree but it can also be most surprising. I ought to know...

Well, I didn't start work on Friday or Saturday before 4pm, and didn't get all that much done, probably because I have a similar zero-hour demon. I'm reasonably pleased with today's 11.30am start, and have almost finished the first draft of the presentation (which is more or less what my interviewers will be stuck with).

Welllll, you see, I *ought* to be either writing extended essays or revising German today, so *technically* I shouldn't have time for strange DVD-watching either. This does not appear to be helping today though. Damn. *eyes clock, which is inching closer to that zero-hour of procrastination, 2pm, when your subconscious starts whispering 'oh, come on, you haven't done any work so far today, you're not going to get anything worthwhile done in the time left...why not just take the rest of the day off?'*

Strange DVD-watching would be far preferable to the presentation-writing I have to do today. Enjoy! *sigh*

*reiterates Liz's joy at filmage* I will totally glee at them with you when I return. :D Also, I haven't watched All Creatures Great and Small since I was about 8. Cow bums and Trickiwoo.

Excellent, Reservoir Dogs. When you have watched it, *please*please* let me know so I can scream at you about it. In a good way. When I watched it, I was all alone in Cambridge House and had no-one to go "whoa" with. -_-
(also: YAY GAY PERRY!)

Ooh, me me me! Pick me!

... oh wait. Wrong continent. Dash it all!
