At last, and finally

I have been completely without the internet for a week. Although work gives me access to work email, I have no net access there, and the net at home has been fucked since last Saturday when I managed to stay on long enough to post about my darling bass which is fabulous.

Anyway, I've not done much since I last posted besides work. I was seriously restricted on bass duties because I depend on the net for tablature, although I can tell you that I've mastered (although not perfected) 'Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)' by Thin Lizzy and also a personal favourite, Peter Gunn by Duane Eddy. My dad is mucho impressed with the latter. My mammy does not know that I've bought said bass, and I'm thinking it should stay that way- she might say "It's your money" or she might go loopy. Never can tell with Mama.

Oh, and I've been playing the Sims 2 quite a bit. My mum and dad returned from Rome on Tuesday with the news the Pope had flu a few hours before it was widely known here in Britain. And they were at that appearance he gave on Sunday and are not surprised- leaving a frail 84 year old man on a balcony for 20mins with a bad wind chill factor in the weather and the flu going round is not what I'd term sensible.

Er.... have been working some more on writing, but it's all original stuff I don't think anyone here would be interested it. I've more or less put Daoimear De Dan: Inne agus Inniu on hold, although after a conversation with Eb a while back, I did open it back up again for a bit. Is anyone genuinely interested in reading about any of the following:

1. Two girls in the 70s and the rock and roll band they loved

2. A young princess thrown into queenship and war by the laws of Sod and Murphy

3. An English-Irish woman in the 1960s who goes to teach in a small town in West Ireland

4. Harry, Hermione, Ron and the people of Daoimear de Dan some 16 years after that particular story.

Do let me know, there's good kids!

And now, in the spirit of information and the securing of loose ends:

Totally imperative poll.

Because I've had a week to think about what I was going to post on LJ once I got access back, I anticipate some really random stuff coming up on this journal over the weekend. So here's some randomness:

[Poll #431854]

Feel free to explain your answers (in depth or not, I don't mind) in a comment. I'm really curious, because I know most people don't approach this particular movie, or even the story itself, the same way as me, and I'm nothing if not eager to be empathetic.
