Apr. 20th, 2011 09:27 pm- It never ceases to surprise me how a group of fans can all watch the same TV show and yet clearly actually all see something quite different. People hate episodes I loved, adore episodes I didn't think were all that great, complain about things that I hadn't even noticed, diss my favourite characters... I'm not complaining, it adds variety (so long as people remain civil to one another, that is), it's just... interesting.
- The proposal I was working on so hard last week (the deputising up a grade thing) has come good - the client has signed it off. Which means that I now go from having slightly too much work to do over the next couple of months to having a verging-on-the-insane amount of work to do. Which I'm told is a good thing...
- Just tried to do my crew registration for the RORC (the Royal Ocean Racing Club, who organise the Fastnet). Got all the way through, hit 'save', and it threw me an error message in DUTCH. Gah!
- Went into Hollister with DD this evening with DD (her favourite store). Bizarre and daft. Very dark (not sure how the staff stand working in there!), feel more like a bar/nightclub than a store (clearly the intention), and seriously, surfboards? Surfing magazines on sale? Please. This is Cambridge, the nearest surfing beach is 250-odd miles away, and any serious surfer isn't going to waste money on Hollister gear... Yes, it's brand marketing, I know. At least DD can actually stand up on a surf board.
- My brain is fried. Hopefully it's not terminal.
