On Tuesday, various of us went to see Her Naked Skin at the National Theatre. Not great. It was by no means terrible, but the politics was undertreated, the anachronisms and rather blatant "hey, look we are in 1913!" moments too frequent, the humour seemed tacked on and rarely flowed naturally from the situation (Susan Engel excepted), and the romance elements rather too cliched.

Wednesday was Babylon 5 night. We watched And Now For A Word... and In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, two quite significant episodes.

On Wednesday evening I discovered my phone line was deaded. Tinternet died at exactly midnight whilst I was browsing on my EEE in bed. Reported fault to BT yesterday, they sent me a PDF explaining how to plug my phone in and closed the ticket. Went to post-work drinks and then to gingerbeer meet at First Out, arriving back home just before midnight. Still no tinternets or dial tone. Phoned BT this morning to report while cake was baking, they are sending out an engineer tomorrow.

Have suspicion this is due to the 21CN upgrade that was supposed to be happening on my line on the same day. Unlikely to be anything to do with the theft of network cards from Stepney Green, as outage started before then.

I accidentally made a cake on Saturday evening. I'm shocked, I tell you. It was quite nice. I need to learn how to do the icing business and then I can make a cake for timeplease's birthday.

Bab5 continues. We watched Parliament of Dreams, Mind War and The War Prayer on Wednesday, three solid episodes. And The Sky Full Of Stars and Deathwalker coming up this Wednesday.

This news story amuses me - East Midlands Trains staff are to be issued with - I quote - "atomic watches" - which are "accurate to the second"!. I will brave the possibility of chronometric radiation poisoning at the weekend when I go visit parents for Easter. I am probably returning on Easter Monday, so I will miss Sunday games.

rocky horror was very entertaining at the weekend.

we just watched Ceremonies of Light and Dark through to Ship of Tears, all of which were cool episodes. Interludes and Examantions next! this means we are OVER HALF WAY. eep.

very tired.

this is all.

watched X-Men Monday on DVD (having had it for ages and not having got around to watching it yet) and then X2 just now. hoping the next one has a big Captain Picard vs Gandalf deathmatch! ;)

also: Wolverine reminds me of Zathras from Babylon 5 for some reason. Zathras not like that! Zathras going to bare Zathras's claws and chop you up into little bits!
