Waah! I just had a very busy afternoon - tidying, clearing out cupboards, wrapping presents, etc - and felt very knackered and deserving of treats. So I collapsed in a chair and turned on the TV.  "What I'd like to watch right now is Shaun the Sheep*," I remarked to the universe. I flicked through channels - and lo! There it was, about to start! It was my reward for being productive, I decided. The credits started up... and boom, the picture went black. The sound was still there, but as Shaun the Sheep is entirely without words, this wasn't exactly helpful. We cursed, rescanned the channels, and did various other things - but it was only a ten minute show, so there was no hope. I gave up, and stared morosely at the black screen, listening to the music of the end credits... and boom, the picture came back.

Universe, you suck.



*Shaun the Sheep, for those who don't know, is a kid's claymation series by Aardman - the people who made Wallace & Grommit. It's very funny. I had a Shaun the Sheep backpack when I was in college.
