Things I may not have mentioned from the weekend:

My dad might be off to the Middle East!

Ryan is now crawling and pulling himself up on furniture and quite happily walking around holding onto it. And opening and closing his fingers and saying "buh-buh" when you wave goodbye to him. I love him quite a bit.

Jack says he wants to come with us next time we go to Cornwall and the Eden Project. Maybe in a few years. And speaking of the Eden Project: dude.

I wasn't expecting my stint of unemployment to be particularly productive, but getting up before the middle of the day might really help. To be fair, I did decide not to go out very much, so I wouldn't spend so much money. Aside from, y'know, buying watch parts. But that was a time-limited offer. And stuff.

In un-productive news:

I watched Dr Horrible! After seeing some icons and thinking maybe it wasn't the type of show I was thinking of. I liked bits of it. Other bits I didn't like. But mostly I love this fic: Shrink Rays. It manages to ignore the COMPLETE REFRIGERATION OF PENNY. But, shrinking antics! Adventures with string! Other things I wouldn't spoil you for! And oh, Captain Hammer. Oh. One day I will learn that good fic doesn't improve a source material. One day. Maybe.

I watched a fashion show the other day about "Loud and proud" fashion, from Teddy boys up to chavs. Now I'm imagining stories about Teddy Boy wizards. And Teddy Girl witches.

Probably because I'm watching Strictly, I keep imagining dance numbers that could be put to every bit of music I hear. I still think you could do something spectacular with Sex on Fire. I have managed to resist the Kings of Leon for quite some time now, but that is just a bit brilliant. And I quite like the video too. For some perhaps obvious reasons.
