*yawn*

Mornings are horrible. Blah. If only children would do as they were told without me having to stand over them. But - things always look up at 9 when they're finally at school! (You can insert this rant every morning - I hate having to rush, especially when I'm tired.)

Anyway, we were internetless most of yesterday. What with the connection being so erratic we finally got someone to come and have a look at it (he reckoned it was a local fault, since apparently others in the area have the same problem). Anyway, after all the fiddling about, it promptly refused to work at all, and it took Darcy (who was at home and still feeling awful) for-absolutely-ever to get it back up and running (and he's v. clever at this stuff).

Anyway, he's feeling better today and has gone to work, and being internetless I managed to write down a lot of thoughts about LMPTM (coming soon...).

Also on the plus side I had a wonderful dream last night: Andrew had been turned into a vampire, but he was utterly adorable: Having super strength made him all giddy and he swung from lamp post to lamp post pretending to be Spiderman. There was more but it's all a little hazy - I do remember him kicking down a door to a cinema, and being thrilled. :)

And finally, in this very random post: Last night Darcy and I finally got out the VM S2 disks that Anna gave us. Darcy's response at the end was: "Do you know what's the problem with this show? It's too unrealistic!" :)

Lies My Parents Told Me.

That whole ‘I’m not going to write about S7 episodes’ is obviously not going to work at all. Especially when I get mini-epiphanies... and then go waffling about all-sorts. Why can't I ever be concise?

Anyway, as I was watching the beginning of LMPTM where Giles is complaining about the lack of books in the new library, I suddenly realised something. It was as though David Fury had hit me over the head with his not insubstantial hand and said: “It’s a metaphor! Me-ta-phor! Want me to spell it?”

This scene, which I always used to think of as a rather stupid joke, does as a matter of fact have 3 layers! Like so:
