Musing, Wandering, Dreaming

Something didn't save. So, how about now?

Edit - yay! Working!

I am watching Sports Night.

Someone needs to give Dana a HUG.

That is all.

I've picked up the knitting habit again, which means I'm watching lots of TV. Especially when knitting boring patterns.

So, I'm kind of looking for cool TV shows to watch.

Here's some things:

-I quite like downbeat shows, but right now, I'd like cheery stuff. It's winter and I seem to have overdosed on sad books and TV episodes recently.

-Funny is good. Snarky humour is awesome; lots of slapstick probably won't make me all that happy.

-Sci fi, horror, fantasy, weirdshit, etc, are all pretty awesome. Mundane TV shows about high schoolers with no supernatural/sci fi element, probably not so much. (I'm quite tempted by How I Met Your Mother, even though there's nothing fantastical.)

-Reality shows are RIGHT OUT. I require plot. And scripts.

I'm all caught up on Haven, WH13 and Eureka. Currently watching The Dead Zone (old! But fun). Loved Buffy, Dollhouse and Firefly, have yet to see most of Angel. Was keeping up with both The BIg Bang Theory and Supernatural up until about halfway through last season, but have totally lost my place on both shows. Have had the Sarah Connor Chronicles and.... the one with Joshua Jackson...? Fringe! Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe have been recommended.

I would love some recommendations, droll-or-flist!

I'm working again. It's only temping, and only 3 days a week, but it's something. Looking forward to my first pay, which should come through on Friday.

I'm also interviewing this Thursday for the permanent version of my temporary job - which I think would be perfect for me! I think I stand a good chance, but I could definitely do with some wishes of good luck and a following wind!

And if *that* option doesn't work out, I have a registration appointment at a new temp agency on Monday.

My relationship seems to be going well! The boy is doing an AI course and continuing to be lovely (I keep joking that he's going to come away from the course and build a sexbot, which, I guess you never know).

I'm planning to pick up my knitting again on Thursday night at a S&B - yay!

And I think that's all the news, really.

Maybe next time I'll post about something actually interesting. Or fandom-related. Or... you know. Something with content.

I cannot seem to. I have a bunch of tabs open and I can't seem to concentrate enough to decide what I'm going to do with them.

So I think I'll take them one by one.

Today, my brain is not being helpful.

Maybe it's lack of sleep. I was awake for about an hour at 3am.

BLURBLE.

I hardly have money to leave the house, never mind actually conduct some kind of social life.

And it is a vicious cycle - the less time I spend with people, the more depressed I feel, and the harder it becomes to do productive things like look for work.

How the hell does anyone deal with this without going insane?

Desperately needed: social contact and support.

Thanks for listening, you all.

Edit - I'm slowly making improvements on the money side. Bit by bit! And I'm going to throw myself into the Looking For Work this evening, yes I am.

Thank you for your lovely comments, my friends.

I am feeling somewhat better today and have made up my mind to not think I am a hateful bitch anymore. (I'm not sure that will help next time I feel so crappy, but it helps for now.)

Eventually, I will fix my stupid brain.

Having a bit of a depression-attack lately. Working on it.

Spent about an hour looking at code from the Dreamwidth codebase. I WILL understand it. I swear I will.

Still madly in love with Perl.

Not much else in the way of newsy-mc-news right now.

Some of these things are code-related, and some not. (I am currently obsessed with programming - it is my new toy!)

-The bf is currently in France! (He came back from Norway. Now he has gone on another trip.) All seems to be going rather well, though, and he'll be back in a fortnight. :D

-Progress continues apace on the game - I'm starting to implement certain cool features with the test game, and might at some point build the "real game" which is based around a fairy castle theme. This will require me to make some maps and do some world-building, however, and I'm still at the "implementing features and keeping the game small enough to make it easy to test" stage. So that might be a while off.

-I am getting to the point with Perl where I might actually be able to tackle the bug I claimed at DW. Excitement!

-I also signed up for Github with the vague aim of someday perhaps working on Diaspora, for which I have recently signed up as a user - though that requires Ruby, which I don't yet have a clue about. I'd also like to do some coding for AO3 someday, though I have NO IDEA what language they use there yet.

-I am enjoying the second half of this year's Doctor Who series so far. Outrageous plot developments, weird narrative techniques, speed-of-light exposition and all.

-I need a job! (And with the boyfriend on holiday, I am lower-than-usual on distractions.) So there will be working on these things today and muuuuch writing of applications next week. Go Lucy!

And now I go to write a way of putting stuff in boxes in my game. Wish me luck!
