I found a house centipede in my shower this morning. I decided that it is a lucky omen to find a house centipede in your shower and then smash it. The luck being, now you no longer have a house centipede in your shower.

I've been wandering round a French ephemera flickr account this morning, inbetween shouting at the guy who replaced Coworker J (I have to come up with a more catchy name for him) and redoing all the work he's done so that it's actually right. I feel petty and malicious, documenting it all, but BossBoss said I should and honestly this guy wastes a lot of my time.

Anyway, I found this and had to share. I think it's some kind of Dadaist paper model of a slaughter machine, in which pigs go in and....flowers and cookery pots come out. IDK, I can't read French, maybe it's missing a page of instructions. Macabre either way, and I LOVE IT. I want this for a poster on my wall. :D I will admit that I am fascinated by papercraft models, especially in their deconstructed state. All those tricky planes and angles flattened out so prettily.

And...suddenly it's lunchtime. One note before I run off to macaroni and chicken alfredo with rhubarb crumble -- aseneth, I can't seem to get hold of you and need to. Drop me an email, copperbadge at gmail? Thanks!

I think I cracked a tooth.

SWEET JESUS. I swear, since I broke my leg I've been taking vitamin suppliments and honestly, really, do you guys know how much dairy I eat? A LOT OK.

I have an appointment to see the dentist tomorrow afternoon.

Possibly I need some kind of adamantium treatment. Do we have any adamantium specialists in Chicago? I'm willing to risk having to become an angst-racked crimefighter if it helps me STOP BREAKING MYSELF.

HEY HEY HEY GUYS

SAM'S THREE THINGS ABOUT TORCHWOOD

DIDJA MISS IT?

Spoilers under the cut, duh.

( Children of Earth, Episode 1 )

3a. As indicated above, I am totally uninterested in the plot. It's a fine plot! I'm just way more interested in the team. I AM CHARACTER-DRIVEN OK.

SORRY I CAN'T RESIST

3b. "And I've got tupperware!" LOVE.

In all, though, well-paced and tight -- if they can keep this up for all five episodes it's going to be a hell of a "season".

Also, while I was watching Torchwood, Mum texted me. And then phoned me.

And then texted me to tell me she'd phoned me.

AND THEN EMAILED ME TO TELL ME SHE'D TEXTED ME ABOUT PHONING ME.

Being fair, today was her first day at a new job and a woman called her an asshole for being a Pisces.

Win, universe. Total win.
