Busy, busy, busy

But not too busy to thank the very kind person who paid for 2 months LJ for me.

I have my deep, dark, suspicions who it is (looks thermidor's way) but whoever it is is choosing to remain anonymous.

So, thank you, very kind person.

Also, thanks (again?!) to Thermidor for very kindly making me some new LJ icons. And she takes requests!

Isn't Lex lovely?

Had a great day yesterday. Met stageira and olympia_m for lunch. Well, actually, we met first in Forbidden Planet (of course), then onto Wagamamas and then the British Museum.

Adore the British Museum.

Then home via Murder One. Yes, lots of book shopping. Why am I not surprised?

Spent most of today working (a reflection of how manically busy I've been work-wise lately. I'm expecting a similar manic time this week as well), but managed to find time to watch 'Firefly'.

Damn! Why was it cancelled? I'm more than half in love with it already, after just a couple of episodes. All the characters are great, even though it's a bit weird to first see Captain Mal (yum) after having watched his actor's deeply scary Southern preacher-man on Buffy. But they all show such promise, I believe in them all, already.

I am finding the western theme interspersed with space battles a tad weird, although it sort of makes sense - I can see why horses might be of more use than mechanical forms of transport on a frontier world - at least there are no replacement parts with horses. However, the Old West dress Cracks Me Up.

Am much looking forward to the next episode and I gather that we here in the UK are going to see some episodes that were never shown on US TV. Which is nice for us.

But still. Damn. Why did they have to cancel it?

Oh well, at least there'll still be 'Angel' once 'Buffy' is gone, which is a big consolation.

You're welcome for the icon.

Yesterday I swear the text looked fine but now it looks to light. Let me know if you want me to tweak it. Grr! Maybe it is just my laptop.

Maybe it is just my laptop.

Or mine! Hmm, looking at it now it's been uploaded I think the text probably is a bit light, and would be really grateful if you could tweak it when you've got a moment.

And, many thanks again.
