{ work and movies and stuff. }

1) work: Am back at work today and am pretty tired and sore still. Work have offered me half-days if my GP says it's okay, but I'd rather try and be here full-time if I can, so am trying to limit the painkillers I'm taking so I'm not so tired. Crazy busy day today so probably a good job I'm back!

2) icons: Have actually gotten off my lazy ass and have started making an icon batch which is about halfway done now. Will do my best to get it finished by the end of the week and just try and get back into it properly after that, as I've missed it.

3) paper legends: Much as I've wanted to just make icons and generally rest the last few days, I've instead been very busy with paperlegends stuff, which is just the way that goes sometimes. I've booked this Friday off work to sort out the check-in post that will be happening, and at some point I ought to sit down and work out how many A/L days that community has taken from me this year, as opposed to last year. I do love the place and I get a lot of enjoyment from running it, but there are times (very rare, but they happen nonetheless) when I get really cross about certain things, and this weekend was one of those times. Oh well, again, that's just how it goes.

4) movies: Peter and I saw Kung Fu Panda 2 on Friday, which was okay but not as funny as the first one, and X-Men: First Class on Saturday, which was fantastic! Peter told me I had to behave myself in the cinema and that if I really felt I had to slash them, could I please do it in my head whilst watching the film and not out loud. Which I did =)


Look at that; a random update! Hope you're all doing okay ♥

Cutting back your painkillers so you're not crazy tired is one thing, but being in pain is NOT ok. You take them if you need to and you take a half day if you need to - surgery just ain't fun.

I'm so pleased you're been feeling up to making your icons - I'm sure being creative is satisfying on so many levels - good luck getting them finished.

Communities can be damned time consuming in the most frustrating ways and that sucks the fun out of it.

Hehe, I'm with Peter on this one, slash in one's head while in public.

Did you have your surgery yet? How did it go?

You have got to be the best mod in the world - taking a/l to do it - now THAT is some real dedication rite tharr.

It is really close to impossible NOT to slash Charles and Erik and any right minded fangirl would be crazy not to. My best friend and I have been searching like mad for Charles/Erik fics to surface (I don't mean small ficlets but LONG ones....but they will come eventually) and man I wish I already had the DVD because I want to vid them like mad!

I really need a Charles/Erik icon!

Take care of yourself, hon! If work gets a bit much, just go for the half day; no point pushing yourself while you're in pain and your brain's not there. *hugs*

LOL, Peter. You can tell him that James McAvoy slashes Charles/Erik too, out loud. :)

It's so good of you to put so much into Paperlegends. I don't think people have much of an idea how much hard work it is to make things like Big Bangs work unless they've done it themselves. *hugs*

But those of us who do understand appreciate it very much.

i'm not even a huge slasher and i'm slashing Charles/Erik it was so in your face if you didn't see it, you were trying not to. I loved their dynamic i'm glad you enjoyed the movie as well :)

Xmen was awesome! Good luck with work. Take it easy.

I desperately need to see that X-men movie.

::huge hugs:: I know exactly what you mean with the painkillers. I hope some lower dose ones are less exhausting but still effective. I'm sorry Paperlegends has been a pest for you; I hope it's getting better. I spent the weekend off in the country and writing something totally not BB related; I need to really rip into writing my fic now ready for the draft submission!

Back to work so soon? Don't overdo it, sweetie ♥

I saw a paper_packages post come up on my flist and I was very excited. Will be checking out all the goods :)

Haven't seen X-Men: First Class yet but I'd like to. Especially since you speak of this thing called slash ;) I cannot believe that I haven't even been to the theater once this year. Not once. Not even for the new Pirates movie. But I for sure will have to see Harry Potter on the big screen.
