Yet more things

I got given a Guinea Pig for my birthday (even though it isn't actually my birthday...hooray for early presents!) He is lovely and his name is Monty.

I made a front cover for my novel, ready to be handed in as part of my Creative Writing module.





I started reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Serious mind-fuckery going on there. I love it of course.

And yesterday I officially started learning Russian. Yay. I'm fed up of being terribly British and only knowing one language and expecting the rest of the world to understand me. The reason I'm learning Russian is that I mean to visit at some point when I have, you know, some money. It also ties in to the long standing, and I mean very long standing, fascination I have with Russia.

Other than those things, life isn't so good at the moment. Still though, I have wonderful people, online and offline to help me through.

P.S, you know, I agonise for ages over which of my fifteen icons to use in my posts. What a loser! I have no idea why I chose this one, other than because I love it.

Two posts in one day...

...otherwise known as skiving off.

But I was trawling YouTube (as you do when researching a dissertation...ahem) and I found episodes of The Avengers and OMG I forgot how much I love The Avengers. John Steed was totally the first object of my grown up fantasies.

A Touch of Brimstone is the most amazing thing (despite the sexism) for three reasons...Steed's tight trousers is the first and actually most boring reason I love this ep.


The second reasons...Mrs Peel looking like this:





I love her!

The third...Colin Jeavons OMG! Demonstrating his awesome in this clip by being adorably drunk at 1.53 and adorably hungover at 6.05. I love him more!

He's also in The Winged Avenger being cute in colour!





And in this episode he's a little bit crazy as shown in this clip at 4.38. I also love the way Mrs Peel walks in on them fighting like little girls at 5.23.

Ah, The Avengers is so special to me.
