Birthday whatsit

After discussing it with the trainee librarian and she who works for the arch-enemy, it was reckoned that birthday would be best on monday (8th Jan, you feckless lot) rather'n sunday. Restaurant/bar in centre of London somewhere. Please to comment if you want to come and be silly, along with suggestions for where to go.

Back at work. Facing inbox o' doom. aiiiiieee!

Also, had the utter classic : the indignant email from an american author who had no life over the holidays and wanted to know why his manuscript hadn't gone through yet. Reply : 'We were on holiday.' Subtible : 'it's not our fault you live in a backwards colonial wasteland that believes in the least holiday per year in the west. Also, you bastards were incommunicado for a week in November and expect the rest of the world to suck it up. Consider this our revenge.'

Tonight will be Torchwood watching numero 3. During which I will once again make high-pitched squeeing noises and be slightly in awe of the *accuracy* of Eve Myles' grief acting, dignity be damned. And fall for John Barrowman all over again. :sigh: That man. Just... :wibble:

:pokes womb: stop giving me mild cramps. It's annoying.

Uh-oh, I knew I should only SKIM, not read all your posts;) I think I know now what to expect of ep 12-13 ... although I guess you've also given me some hope.

Heh, never watch trailers, and switch off if they are right after!

And now I'll finally watch Hogfather, Torchwood maybe later tonight.


PS: did I ask you about Richard A. in Robin Hood, which episode of the supposedly later, better ones could you rec me for Guy?

er... couldn't really say, since they're kind of cumulative in terms of watching. later ones don't make as much sense without the early viewings.

um, it's in the trailer.

God, yes. Gwen's grief was fantastic. None of this 'tragic look and single stoic tear' bollocks - flat-out screaming and wailing.

At least with inbox, you can view desk. I have just finally unearthed mine. I haven't seen it since 8:45 this morning. >.<

My default suggestion remains Wagamama. Or pizza express.

Curses, I'll be unable to come. I wouldn't be able to come on sunday either though ;) Have a lovely birthday know and try and flirt with the wagamama chefs for me. If you're going to the one near Covent garden there was a quite good looking one last time. Slightly large with a big grin.

Bother, I'd have loved to come, but I'll be holding my cat's paw while she goes to the vet-dentist on Monday evening. Have a great bithday.

Room for one more?
