Still poorly.

[panik]

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.

(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.)

Baby! *clings*

I wish we could sneeze in the same room oh yes I do.

No recommendations at all, because kids' TV is all I'm seeing ::cries::. And I *have not* seen Blackpool, which must be some kind of a sin because (a) Tennant and (b) I am from there yo! SO I will endeavor to watch it one of these days, if I can find it to download from somewhere, because I have a feeling my edumacation is lacking in that area. Then, perhaps, we cans squee together? ::hopeful::

Come see me, soon? Easter? ::puppy dog eyes:: Or, you give me a date and I will move hell and high water to fit you in ::nudge nudge wink wink::

I am squeeing like a mad sneezy squeeing thing that you like TNT! But no hurry, my dear. Read it when the time is right ::squishes you like a shameless doxy::

Illness is a horrid, bad, horrible thing, isn't it? You're still sick as well? ::hugs Bev in a large, soft, eucalyptus-scented love-blankie::

And meep! No Blackpool? Honey! You have to see it! Blackpool locations! Singing and dancing!! Naked Tennant love scenes!!! I have it on my external HD but I'm not having much luck burning to disc these days or I'd do it for you in a trice. You can download it from http: // thebox .bz if you do bit torrents? Otherwise I'll have another crack at burning for you - or I could send you the raw files for you to burn? - There's a ton of it on You Tube of course. Oh, it's a joy! It's become something of an obsession with me lately - hence the rash of DI Carlisle icons (see above) *g*

Gods, I'd love to come and stay. I've another fangirl weekend already booked in Matlock on April 25th and Easter's hard because it's family time. Can I email some likely dates to you? I'd love to come up for a squeeful weekend (and the new DW series starts soon...) but I need so much advance planning these days.

I've been reading TNT this afternoon, between naps. Oh babe; you are the angst-meister! I can only read in short bursts because it does a number on my ever-present headache but... getting there. It's wonderful.

Woo! I will try the bit torrent option once the lads are off the main PC - downloading on the ancient lappy just is not a goer. Thanks for the link! It is shameful that I have not yet seen Blackpool, under the circumstances.

As regards dates - send away! I will fit in around you. I really, really would love to see you whenever you can make it, honeybun. I'm sure we can work it out if we try. Don't feel pressured though - I want it to be a fun, relaxing time for you if/when it happens. I will never get tired of asking, no matter how busy you are :-)

::pets your poor head:: I am absolutely delighted you like TNT. I keep expecting someone to write to me and say, "Who are these people you call Jim and Blair?" which has not *quite* happened yet, but it is a likelihood ::grins unrepentantly::. Angst is my lifeblood, and I am a longtime fantasy fan at heart, so it makes me happy no matter what people think!

When you feel better, perhaps more Academy fic at some point? Oh the angst she hurts so good! *g*

Ah... way to kill me with guilt!

I hit a real block with it and then I've been too tired/busy/sick - and then the block made me scared to even look at it again, daft though I know that sounds. T-V has been commenting and that made me look at it again and I think I might be up for writing some more when I can look at a screen again.

I shall email soe dates then, baby - I'll check the diary tomorrow and get back to you; I'd love to see you so much ♥
