Still poorly.

Oh yes. I am. Bigtime. Worse today, if anything.

This is a really nasty bug - not so nasty as to completely prostrate; I could walk round to the shops if I needed to, but I'd probably be in a state when I got there. If the other sicklings on the flist want to compare and contrast, I has big headache, ache like a bugger, feel intermittently sick and just so damn tired.

And bored. Incredibly bored. I have a ton of stuff I want to read, on the lappy, on the palm, not to mention the pile of EDAs awaiting my attention, but reading is turning my already-monster headache into something from the M25 route to Hell (and Bev, baby, I am reading TNT and just loving it but circs are keeping me from reading and I don't want to comment till I've read it all but, oh lordy, I do love it so and wish I were able to finish it!) There's a heap of things on my palm I'm aching to read right now but any kind of screen is strobing on my retinas like one of  Michael Fish's jackets. This does not make me feel good. Ergo, I cannot read - or write - or even spend much time on LJ. This is making me sad. And bored. Oh so bloody bored...

So I'm kinda stuck with the radio and telly (for 'telly' read downloads and discs; there's bugger all on t' telly that I can see, not even on ITV3 or 4 shock horror; not even an eppy of Randall and Hopkirk today. )o:)  I've been enjoying Funland, for all its twisted darkness; re-watching Blackpool of course, and LOM and The Lakes and Mighty Boosh 3 but I'm running out of stuff...

So, any recommendations? Stuff that's either on TV in the UK; terrestrial or satellite - or something downloadable; something glorious I might have missed?

And now I have to stop because this is making my head explode.

([personal profile] t_verano - sugar, thanks so much for your lovely and insightful comments! I will get back to you as soon as my head stops feeling like it's about to make a new home for itself in a crusher.)

::hugs gently and passes paracetamol:: Poor you :-( Sorry to hear that the germs are still circling, honey! I hope you start to feel better really really soon. UK TV sucks, doesn't it?

Not sure what to suggest that's on TV, since I barely watch any of it these days either, but would definitely recommend Supernatural to download if you haven't managed to catch it yet. (The SPN obsession has taken over my life, I swear) If you enjoy h/c, angst (oh my god the angst), banter and general wibbleness, not to mention unbelievably pretty boys to drool over, you can't get much better imo (not that I'm biased or anything). If you're interested let me know and I'll send you links to download sites.

PS...on a completely different note, if you're up to it, I'm in the middle of converting my Sentinel DVDs (I have all four seasons on my homemade DVDs, seriously good quality if I do say so myself *G*) into 350mb avi files so that I can make better quality Sentinel songvids.

I know you upload episodes to your site so that people can watch them for the Temple chats...are there any episodes you're missing, or that you don't have good quality versions of that I can help out with? I should end up with a complete set in a couple of weeks once it's all done (I'm halfway through season two right now), and I'll happily drop some discs into the post for you if you want them.

Feel better, sweetheart, and tell Mark to take good care of you in the meantime :-) ::hugs::

Hey baby; thanks for the kind thoughts...

TS, I already have a full set x 2, sometimes 3 on DVD thanks for the offer hon.

Ah. SPN... Heck...
Leaves me colder than a three-week dead eel I'm afraid. I have tried but I really can't see the pretty and I can't get into the stories; like Torchwood and A2A I've accepted that I will forever fail to see what others see and have given up trying. (sorry. I know how hard it is when you're in luuurve with a show and others fail to 'get it'. I'm feeling a bit that way myself with my never-ending 'Blackpool' love that no one else seems to share. At least you're not alone in your SPN-fangurling. *g*)

I hope life is treating you a little more kindly these days. ♥

Hi hon, no worries at all re: SPN...to each their own! It was just the first thing that came to my mind (as it usually is these days!) :-) Same for TS...it was just a thought in case you were missing any downloadable files of episodes, no harm no foul. ::hugs::

Seeing your hugs

and adding some chocolate and kisses.

I'm just compiling my 'list 10 characters you wouldn't kick out of bed' meme thingy... Amazing where the mind goes when you set it to work on such things. ::giggle::

No, no, I can't! I'm having terrible trouble... I posted it, but it's a work in progress for sure. *g*

(You bored too? (o:)
