localfreakI took the day off work today, after being back in for two days. This I think was actually quite a good move. The main reason was because we have New People starting on Monday, one of whom I will have to train (and now the Temp has left I will need to do this whilst totally manning both her new job and my old one. OMGDIEZ etc) and so I couldn't book anything off next week, and I have an essay to write for the end of the month. I also found an added bonus: after actually not doing huge amounts of computery stuff (well compared to a normal working day) my eyes were shot and I was all exhausted and achey from the lack of movement.
Admittedly I didn't move much today but I did manage to read a lot of the research I'd collected and make a LOAD of notes. Then I had to stop because I was very tied of Irish History and Tudors and Home Rule and things and it was ceasing to sink in. But I did do a lot so that's good and once it does sink in tomorrow I will do more! Then I will PLAN DRAFT 1.
I also made dinner and cooked the tea (it feels too much to say I cooked dinner- I heated soup and cut bread, added herbs and served) and just enjoyed the feeling of actually having time to do stuff like that, I even dug mum's coffee percolator out and made us coffee around three when I needed the boost.
Oh! And also my comic came today. I forgot to blog about it but basically Mum bought me this:
For Christmas, which is one of those books that tries (haha) to make a coherent storyline about Wolverine's life. (ahahaha comics ahahahaha).
And It mentioned some comics that I just had to have - Uncanny X-Men #268 and Flashback: Wolverine #-1. So I er bought them. Well, one of them I'm bidding for on ebay but the comic market is minute (as I know well from selling the buggers) unless they've been licked by Stan Lee or signed by Hugh Jackman or Patrick Stewart etc so I'm the only bidder unlikely to miss it. The other was on buy it now. AND IT CAME TODAY
And here is a picture of Stan Lee, cameoing and NARRATING (and doesn't he look a bit like Howard Stark in this? Just a weird creepy thought there). Don't get me wrong it was TOTAL froth, Amnesiac Wolverine with James and Heather Hudson going to visit someone who might be able to help him, only to be followed by: Hydra, Sabretooth (who tests to see whether the amnesia is real by making a lot of not so much veiled as very near stark naked references to things that comic fans know ('birthday boy' mentioning how he killed Silver Fox etc) and also acting like a Real Cowboy , Black Widow (who is still working for the Soviets at this point) and then run into Nick Fury and Carol Danvers who are being badass and James Bond-y except that Nick doesn't realise Wolverine doesn't know who he is because he and Danvers think that Wolverine is deep undercover until RIGHT at the end. And of course, Nick Fury being Nick Fury decides not to run after him and give the poor boy some answers because 'maybe he'll have some peace for once' not knowing. What? With HYDRA, SABRETOOTH AND THE SOVIETS ALL TRYING TO CAPTURE HIM? Oh Nick Fury (and it is totally the Nick Fury from The Scorpio Connection in those panels. TOTALLY.) But yes: Frothy and also awesome. Yay.
I'm looking forward to winning the X-Men one though- Wolverine, Captain America and Natasha Romanoff, 1941.
