Ack, I am exhausted. It's been a really fun few days though:

* Went and had Maids of Honour with

jakera, and

jakera's very nice siblings. I'd never eaten a Maid of Honour before and it was very tasty indeed. And we were apparently just down the road from the scrapyard from An Unearthly Child, but we didn't go and see it this time.
* On the same day, did churchy things (quite interesting and not at all like going to chapel when I was a kid) and had nice brunch with

carawj 's family. Which was lovely! And her dad gave me halloumi. I like when people give me halloumi. :)
* Yesterday we went to karaoke again, it was awesome as ever! And lovely and cheap thanks to a combination of several discounts and offers.
* Over the last week or so, I've written about 13,000 words of original, not-fanfiction stuff. Quite pleased with this, wondering how long this level of productivity can last.
* My dad is coming to town. Which is lovely. His visit clashes with Pride. Which is a bit unfortunate. Not that he would have a problem with it, but now I'll have to juggle family things and friends things, but we'll see how it goes! He's passing through on his way to Easter Island, which is rather exciting.
*

carawj and I finished DS9 quite a while ago, but we skipped quite a few of the duller episodes early on, so now we're going back for them! Move Along Home looks a lot better when it's all you've got. Well, a bit better. Well... at least Kira's in it being feisty.
* I am sleepy. Early night tonight, methinks.

Oh! I almost forgot to say! Only a few days left until the Day of not-Classic Trek. There's still time to prepare something, it can be as little or as much as you like.

Oh, but Move Along Home, while terrible, is also freakishly hilarious -- the look on Dax's face when she realizes she has to sing that absurd rhyme! Sigh.

Eep! Day-o-Trek... ::casts about flimsily for acceptable materials; finds beer instead:: ... I suppose that's a start? Will attempt to cook something up.

Haha, this is true, it's worth watching even if it's for all the wrong reasons...

Yay for 13,000 words of real fiction! Now that I'm slowly recovering from over a week of ~~bubonic plague~~ lurgi, I shall do my best to reciprocate :D

It also amuses me greatly that you're into musicals, panto, and now karaoke, and yet I still love you, hee!

Hurrah!! :D

LOL, because my other worthwhile characteristics balance it out?

Anyway, karaoke is singing! you like singing! ;)

Well duh :D

But but but karaoke is, like, singing without a licence! Or at least without having passed one's exams :P :P :P OTOH I s'pose it's the current equivalent of ye olde singing around the piano, so it has the weight of historical imperative ~giggles~

LOL, this is true. And when we go it's the Japanese-style one where you just get a room with your friends, so it's like it's intended to entertain other people!

Private karaoke, eh? otherwise known as a drunken party :P

If The Laundry on Johnson Street (Fitzroy) is still doing their Xtreme Karaoke when you next make it down here, I'll have to take you there. With a spycam. And body armour :D

BTW I found you as lovely wee pressie! Will be posting it within the next week. Which reminds me, what news re that DVD...?

That's more or less the size of it, but there's no chance of forgetting the words!

YAY PRESSIE! Yeah, sorry about the DVD, it took me a bit longer to post than I thought because I had another parcel to go as well and I didn't have the stuff together, and it's a bit of a slog going to the post office twice... but it went off a few days ago so hopefully will be with you soon!

Hurrah for international barter! We just received a pair of awesome wooden 'puter keyboard/mouse sets from Mrs War***, in return for which we've sent her some Vegemite, Tim Tams and other Fourecksiana as requested. We'll be sending your pressie next week as promised - FYI it's also something that goes well with Tim Tams, or I supposed that'd be KitKats, though as you know I dunno Balzac about choccies :D

Ooh, your dad's going to Easter Island? That sounds cool!

Yay for days out!

Big yay for 13,000 words of original fic, keep going :)

Yeah, he's got quite into his adventuring!

And yeah, I'm pleased with myself!
