fightingthecageSo, I accidentally bought the Ally McBeal Christmas album last week. It arrived today! And I listened to it, even though it is not Christmas yet. I feel very bad. Especially as it then forced me to attack Ebay and buy the S1 Boxset because I remembered how much I loved the show when it was on, even if it was weird as fuck. But hilariously weird! How can you not love Fish and the Biscuit, honestly! And Elaine! BWHAHAHA! Can't wait until that gets here then 'cos it'll give me something to do. Well, watch.
I made scones at half past midnight last night. They are. So. Awesome. It was an attempt to stave off the nightly emo and even kinda worked. I managed to stop having imaginary rows with my mother at any rate. It doesn't stop the fact that the rows will happen anyway once she's up here because I know what she's like but what's the point in living them in advance, right? Besides, she's been very cool with me the last few months so maybe she'll realise that getting in my face when I've just had a kid won't be the most helpful thing she can do. She just sets me off when she calls, is all. She gets all giddy and excited - and its nice that she's happy about becoming a grandmother, given the circumstances, but when she keeps asking, 'is anything happening yet?' and I have to repeat again, 'I will tell you when something happens,'...it gets annoying. So much so that I am immediately going to shut up about it beause I'm getting annoyed again.
I have an urge to go into town and buy things. I want a Gryffindor scarf! I want Home Alone on DVD. I want to buy something crafty and creative and make it. Sitting at a computer to pass the time is getting old and I can't bring myself to watch things on TV. I vaguely feel like a West Wing marathon but am v. tired today and would fall asleep. I can't focus to write anything - haven't been able to for months and months. So...perhaps a wander around the city would be a good thing. Maybe a jigsaw would help. I haven't done a jigsaw in about twenty years. Or one of those 3D things I've seen, where you layer different sized paper up round a pole and it makes a dinosaur or something. I've always wanted to do one of those!
MUST OCCUPY SELF!! (*snicker* Saying that makes me feel like a Nazi contemplating France/the Netherlands or similar)
