Beeb!

I guess most of everybody on my flist that is in Britain is going to watch this on Sunday, so I don't need to bother and try threading in Milliways while it's on?

It sounds bloody brilliant from the description. My friend japanologist pointed me to it, and quoted dialogue from the trailer:

Modern!Watson is standing in this total dump with the housekeeper [[Mrs. Hudson, I presume]], and the housekeeper says, "Oh we've got another bedroom upstairs for you, unless you'd like to share..." and turns around cutely. Watson staaaaares at her, and she goes, "Oh, we've got all sorts of people around here, you know!
Very nice people!"

Written by Stephen Moffat. With Rupert Graves, who shone quietly in 'Maurice' and 'V for Vendetta' as Lestrade. Produced by the BBC, who makes the best TV in the world anyway, at the moment.

Want!!!

Please, please, SurfTheChannel, don't fail me on this or on 'Mad Men', which is what the US Americans will be watching on Sunday instead of threading in Milliways...

**howls**

I WANT MY THUNDERSTORM NOW ALREADY!!!

It is just sitting up there in the sky, doing nothing. There are clouds, it is windy, but otherwise, it's just too darn hot.

Lucifer is lying by the french windows again, listless.

Today at work, the network fainted five times from the heat (some hardware in a node in Loonybin Village kept turning itself off), and the actual hardware under my desk (Compaq computer made in 2000 and running Win98, essentially a dumb terminal for the virtual XP computer that lives on a big server in a data centre somewhere beyond the node in Loonybin Village) spontaneously restarted itself twice.

And when I got home, the graphics board on my big laptop needed a special invitation to switch over to windows, as it sometimes does when it's too hot; but the cooler pad I bought on bigfluffball's advice is taking care of it very well now, so there's no danger of it fainting from the heat now it's running properly.

ETA at half past nine: It came! It finally came, and now is cooling down nicely. Erm. Not that way.-
