Been awhile since I last posted. Am safely in my new house, and (partly) unpacked. I have my DVDs out, my computers and TV up and running and my favourite book on the shelves, beyond that i can quite happily live in a box city.... besides I have nowhere to put the rest of the stuff. I like the new place the people I'm living with are lovely and best of all they have a cat... really what else do I need in my life.

I decided to start rewatching all of highlander... from the first series on. I don't think I'd realised the first time round how irritating the young Richie was (sorry Richie fans). He definitely grows over the series, Mac's obviously a good influence on him. And Tessa is awesome I just watched her face down Felice Martin with a blow torch :0). I get so caught up with how much I love the Amanda, Methos, Joe and Duncan interaction of the later series I'd forgotten how fun these early episodes were.

I haven't done any writing in weeks but I have lots of ideas floating around that I want to write, almost too many to know where to start though I'm going to try and get something out for this weeks gw500. Too many ideas too little time.

Thank you to everyone for the encoragement in response to my last post. Thank God I'm finally in the new house. That was a nightmare, organised one person to move me Saturday, they take a look at all my stuff and double the price and tell me they won't do it that day. Wonderful..... I manage to track down someone nice who'll move me today instead, but of course that means I've only just got things in here and I haven't had a chance to clean the old place. Looks like I'll end p having to take a day off work after all ... If they'll let me.

I swear I'm jinxed I always end up moving on a really hot couple of days just to make the whole thing trickier. Heat, heavy lifting and anixety conspired to make me feel sick so I was hardly able to eat anything for the last 48 hours which of course left me feeling worse. On the plus side starvation and shocking amounts of water loss mean I was down 3lbs this morning. I'll put it back on of course when my body starts paying me back for starving it but all my stuff is safely in my new house. Now I just have to find the time to clean the old one.....

Urgh it's the end of another lease and another round of moving. I'm supposed to be moving tomorrow lunchtime but only about a third of my stuff is in boxes, despite packing every evening for a week. Other people pull all nighers to finish work I apparently am going to pull them to pack stuff. *Stress*.

I'm moving in a week, my life is boxes..... and tape, packed up another seven boxes so far today. Urgh I'll be happy when I'm all in and sorted.

It's official I watch too much anime, I was watching Wimbledon today and Federer hit a round the pole shot (I don't think I've ever seen one in the real world before) and all I wanted to do was shout 'Boomerang Snake' at the TV. It's not like the shot really resembled the boomerang snake anyway, I'm just an obsessed fangirl.

My latest highlander fic is soo nearly done (of course it has been nearly done for a good week) it's just missing something, I feel like it needs another paragraph (or even two) just to make it work but I've run out of ideas ... Then this completely different fic bunny decided to come join the party so I may end up writing that first (which is very stupid of me).

Must write Zero X even if it is basically a long technobabble chapter. I can do technobabble especially as it's biochemical technobabble (that's my job after all). Wow though when you get Heero and Henry McCoy in the same room talking about science they won't shut up ^_^.

Yikes I'm going to be busy this month. I'm moving, again. Which I hate, I'm starting on the packing in the hope it won't be too rushed at the end. I really hate doing all the paperwork and cleaning and trying to get the bills sorted. It will be nice to be in a nice new house, I think I'll miss this one though. I'm still trying to find the third person for our house too, *stress*.

In LJ land I'm doing the highlander

crack_van and signed up for another round with

ficfinishing to finish off some of my highlander fics (anyone wiith unfinished fanfics should pop over and see if any of their fandoms are part of it. I got soo much done last month). Then I want to do the

fixchange challenge too. Busy busy busy. No one come up with any fun ideas or absorbing fics until next month ^_^.

I should have a fic update ready this week, I hope.

Just moved house so am (for now) still living out of boxes. Chaos reigns and I can't find anything, have been off work all this week, first day back to day, and I'm still circumnavigating boxes to move anywhere. I think I have managed to destroy both my back and my knees though and my shoulders have been complaining all day, and I was so careful to make sure I bent at the knees when lifting boxes. I spent most of yesterday trying to order my books to keep series together, am starting to think I have too many, if such a thing is possible, as I have filled all the bookcases in the house and have only opened about half the boxes. Oh well it will all work out in the end I suppose. If I were not so attached I might sell some but I have found I get seperation anxiety at the idea of losing any of my books. All is right with the world though as my internet connection has now been set up (though it is still a little spotty as they have 10 days to stabilise the connection or something).

We've been moving our lab and office (again) at work, so I've spent pretty much all week putting everything into large blue boxes and dismantling equipment. All this manual labour has left me absolutely exhausted. Needless to say this means that no actual work has been going on all week, and most of next week will be chaos as well as we unpack everything *sigh*. On the plus side we will have nice newly refurbished labs to work in on the minus side half the equipment will get broken in the move and take forever to fix.

I told my supervisor I would have a draft of our journal publication completed for Monday, but with the moving I've hardly done any of it. So I should really spend all weekend doing something I would otherwise have spent all week doing (that's going to be fun). To make my week complete took my hard bound thesis copies to the graduate office for final submission and I've got the wrong year on them because I misread the instructions (Insert copious amounts of swearing and cursing at self here) so now I have to get the whole thing reprinted and rebound.

OK I have finished my whinge now. I have the next chapter of Zero X written in my head so am going to try to commit it to computer screen (I can't say paper) this weekend, and something for GW500 too if I have time. Read- am procrastinating from the work I ought to be doing. My Mum sent me this forward the other day which just made me laugh so I thought I'd share it and thus perpetuate the spam:
