Scattered thoughts

Watching the news today I'm shocked that the economy hasn't completely collapsed. As The Daily Mash said this morning: "STOCKBROKERS are preparing for a third day of running around and waving their hands in the air, shouting 'nooooooooooooooooooo!!!'."

The amount of doom and gloom has been amusing, but possibly because right now I have nothing to lose. In a fantastic scheduling coincidence, True Movies has the whole of this afternoon taken up with The Day The Bubble Burst, a film about the 1929 Stock Market crash. Seems rather apt ;)

On the local news there was no Kaddy doing the weather to keep the boys amused and hanging onto every second of the bulletin, instead, there was Michael Fish with a rather strange (but cool) tank top with weather symbols covering his nipples. I don't think benc will think it a good enough substitute.

My new meds are kicking in now, and instead of feeling very fuzzy, dizzy and somewhat stoned while also sleeping for about 18 hours each day I woke up before midday (a first since Saturday) and have felt relatively with it. A pity I have to up the dose tonight when I expect the aforementioned side effects to come back. At least I know they won't continue forever. On the upside, I am now sleeping through the night :)

Spent friday night playing GH1, 2 and 3 at Adam's house. There was also curry eaten. I'm much better at GH than I was the last time we had such an evening, which resulted in me being practically banned from playing on medium. Damn! I'll just have to get really good at Hard then ;) Pity hard is *so* hard. I'm stuck on the Kaiju Megadome set, so I've started on Expert to see if it will help me along with the last of the hard lot.

I've recently uploaded some new icons, which include some Third Watch ones (a series I'm very into at the moment) and the one I'm using today, the Epstein-Barr virus (also mononucleosis or Glandular Fever) which I had a few years back and ben got me for Christmas :)

I think that very soon I am going to go postal...or at least really, really, really mad.

I was looking this morning for something to watch and find that BBC1 is devoting about 2 hours to "Diana: A Service of Thanksgiving", and that ITV1 is following suit. That's both main channels broadcasting exactly the same drivel. I don't care! She was just a woman - a woman who actually had it pretty easy. It's easy to do all the things she did when you have money. Even divorce is made easier when you have money. FFS. She was just a woman. Mother Theresa has also been dead 10 years. She did far more good. Why aren't we seeing 2 hour long thanksgiving services for her? She did far far far more good than Diana.

Argh!

Even the sky box is revolting - it just had a hissy fit and needed rebooting. Clearly it has good taste.
