pepper: Pepperpot (Ahhh coffee)

It's raining with steady determination here at the moment (hardly a surprise, in November in the UK), and what I really, really feel like doing is taking my laptop and spending the day sat in a coffee shop. I'm going to see if I can take this Friday off, to do just that. I hope it's still raining by then. 

I'm also thinking about going ice skating. I love it (even though I sometimes end up with bruises when friends take me down with them, 

[profile] secretrebel ;-) ), but I very rarely go. A lot of great places open up ice rinks in the winter, here - so I could go skating outside the Tower of London, or the Natural History Museum, for example. 

I watched Solitudes last night, in preparation for [profile] redial_the_gate tomorrow. Damn I love that one (although I'm curious as to how much they broke science with Daniel and Siler's explanation of wormhole physics). I rewatched Enigma, too, belatedly. I like Omoc. He's very honest - and his disapproving expressions make me laugh. Narim, however, I find borderline repellant. I feel like he'd be very controlling, were Sam to actually get into a relationship with him - in a "Why don't you wear this? You'd look lovely in it," sort of way. Ugh. I'd like to know what someone else - Janet, Daniel, or Vala, maybe - would have made of his emotion recording device. And how accurate is it? Does it record every emotion? Will she get a mish-mash of 'Samanthalookslikeanangel/thiscathaslovelysoftfur/i'dlikeasandwich'? Or is it editable? Creepy. I would run a mile, I tell ya.

So, yeah - as you can probably tell, I haven't really got anything to say. I just felt like I'd not been posting in a while. :)

It snowed yesterday! What's a little bit of rain?

(Well, okay, it didn't snow on me, but my mum oh-so-kindly rang me to tell me that it was snowing on her and not on me so nyer. And that the sky was eerily quiet cos the airport was diverting flights to runways without ice on.)

And.. if Narim would be controlling, it wouldn't be anything personal. It's just that we Tau'ri are a bit neanderthal-ish, even if we are amusing in our primitive thinking.

Wah! I want snow! Well, it depends where you are (obviously) - I lived in Canterbury for three years, and it was always cold as the slopes of Hell there. I nearly froze to death, but the sledging was great. :)

Ack, yes, about Narim. Really, how patronising? Gah. I would be hard-pressed not to tell him where to shove it, if I was told, "What your mind doesn't know, your heart fills in."

"What your mind doesn't know, your heart fills in."

a.k.a. "You're very sweet, but still retarded"

Smooooooth, Narim.

I think we bought a sledge (after many years on binbags) a few years back, and it hasn't snowed enough to use it since (but I will give Leicestershire this - it's hilly enough that the snow isn't so much of a necessity as merely... preferred). It sits in my parent's shed a lot. Whereas Liverpool... snow isn't as much fun in a city. I ended up on my arse at least once last year.

Heh, I like sledging on non-sledge things. In Canterbury we used a wardrobe door, and a bin lid. The wardrobe door was the most fun - we could fit two people on it, and it turned around halfway, and we went down the slope backwards. :)
