It's been a strange sort of day. Got to bed about 4.30am-ish - and was woken at 9.37am by Quyn barking at the postman.
Now, there's nothing unusual about that, except that he was outside. At that time of the morning Ken is generally on his way back from walking Kai to school... Leapt out of bed in a mad panic, thinking he may have left the patio doors open by mistake (it has happened), and, coughing and wheezing, charged downstairs - to find him out mortaring the wall. (The whole thing needs doing and it's a long job - in both senses of the word - so he does a section each summer/autumn) Panic attack over - but I wasn't in the best of moods...
Cheered up though. Had four new applications for Zone membership today - all German. It seems to go like that: one day it'll be all Australians, the next all Canadians, then another nationality. (Membership now standing at 238!)
Then we had 3 of those bloody Nigeria Scam emails - you know the ones, send some so-called official in Nigeria/Zimbabwe/South Africa/wherever your bank details and they'll share all this money put in trust by their father/deposed president/whatever with you (I can't believe anyone would be daft enough to fall for these but apparently they do...) We get them every now and again and usually I just trash them, but this time the email addy was Lycos, so I checked out the Lycos site and found they have a form for reporting spam/fraud/threats etc. So I did. And will see if I can do the same with any others that arrive. I'd encourage anyone else reading this, who's received anything like this, to do the same.
These things really, really annoy me...
The weather's been absolutely beautiful today, brilliant sunshine but fresh cool air (yesterday was horribly humid). Probably one of the last good days of the autumn. Days like this I wish I could still afford to ride...
Aiming to start the next AC chapter tonight; I have it fairly well plotted in my mind. Lutra's written about half of her next chapter, and I need to catch up! (Then again, going by her blog I have a little more time anyway... Speaking of which, my Star Wars name comes out as Jouor Saexet Roltalbot of Sinutab!! Ye gods, I think I'll stick with Joules...)
Favourite films? Hn.... Company of Wolves, Valerie and her Week of Wonders, 12 Monkeys, Waterworld (despite the weak ending). Anime constitutes a separate list.
Films I really enjoy? Heh - the list is too long, but includes MIB, Jurassic Park (all three of them), The Crow, Legend (I love unicorns), Rocky Horror Picture Show, Vibes (and just about any other film with Jeff Goldblum), Rockula (just plain daft!) Midnight Cop (the precursor to Forever Knight)... I could go on but I'd better stop there.
And sorry, Talon and onna - I'd agree that Adrian Paul is pretty, moves beautifully and is very emotive, but Highlander did nothing for me at all: I switched off before the end. Never mind - that means you don't have to share him with me!!
