Dec. 3rd, 2008 03:09 am1) Rather shitty day. This is the second time in not even two weeks that I've burst into tears at work at what basically amounts to barely any provocation at all, and then sat in our kitchen and just couldn't stop crying. I'm not even depressed, maybe because I simply didn't have the time, but my nerves are completely shot recently. Much chocolate and cholcolatey products were consumed as a consequence.
2) Some Barrowman fans are completely, batshit insane.
3) That said, I like Music, Music, Music (which finally turned up in my mailbox on Monday) a lot better than Another Side; there are still a couple of songs/interpretations that I don't find particularly interesting and generally speaking, I just don't think his voice suits the pure pop songs very well, but at least this hasn't been produced to the out-of-character bland lifelessness of Another Side. Emotional, but in a good way; not that saccharine. Both Sides Now is fantastic, and so are I Know Him So Well and From A Distance; some of the rest are very nice, and there are a few more that I suspect will grow on me. Hell, I'm even starting to like What About Us a little better. On the whole, a pleasant surprise, and I kind of really needed something like that to get me through the Christmas season. *sigh*
4) I've just more or less finished an interpretation of Saturday's Merlin episode that I can't quite decide if it's completely and utterly cracktastic, at least unintentionally subtextual, or actually canon. That show drives me crazy. *g* Also in a good way.
5) And why am I still awake? Even if I only have to be at work at noon?
