have keyboard will travail

[wytchcroft]

Well the new keyboard is a GO. Hurray! Still having a few online eye to screen issues but i think i'll cope -
only problem now is the backlog of fic chapters and notes and the nearly incomprehensible handwriting they're written in!
wish me luck - it's quite a pile...

Yay keyboard! Though I do know the pain of unreadable handwriting. I remember it made my uni notes particularly stressful to try and read through.

[wytchcroft]

yes - sometimes it's as much 'pin the tail on the donkey' as it is 'writing' LOL!

[alicia_h]

Typing out my unhelpful scrawl is always a good time for editing, I find - and, of course, pretending that it was what I said in the first place.

[wytchcroft]

talking of which - will you be posting again soon?? my 'font size; gigantic' reading pleasure is an addiction i cherish!

[alicia_h]

I'm doing a bit of writing tonight and I also have handwritten stuff that I've been expertly avoiding editing. I should have something to post tomorrow, either in the wee hours or during the afternoon when I've been telling myself I'll do the cleaning...

[wytchcroft]

LOL! well, i look fwd to the not cleaning of your house then :))

[alicia_h]

Yes, it should be a good day of (not) cleaning, even with the lost hour coming up. Just think what I could do if I could keep that hour!

keeping the lost hour

[wytchcroft]

hey... i think you could make a good story out of that premise! :)))

[alicia_h]

now there's a thought! :-)

Re: keeping the lost hour

[wytchcroft]

you can add it to the list m'dear - btw, the films you saw - or did you - and were they agreeable to your good self?

I fell in love properly with the Hitchhiker's Guide film when I watched it the other day. I vaguely remember thinking it was okay when it first came out but still feeling a little iffy about it. Now it feels both familiar and epic. I'm sure I'll be digging my DVD out next time I visit my Dad's.

I watched the film of Tony Hawks' "Round Ireland with a Fridge" tonight which was fun and exactly what I needed.

I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself since Wednesday when a set of stone steps attacked me while I was carrying a box of books down to storage. Ow!!!!

I watched a few hours of the Royal Ballet live stream yesterday, which was utterly mesmerising. The Red Shoes is still to come - not sure when though because I've got Taming of the Shrew to watch tomorrow before iplayer nabs it back just to throw it to the ether.

[wytchcroft]

cursed be the stolen hours, evil stone steps and thieving ether!

as for Hitchhikers - the knitting scene is absolute genius IMO. :)))

Re: keeping the lost hour

[wytchcroft]

ps - which version of Taming is it?
i need to get to grips with iplayer - what with not having a telly these days.

Re: keeping the lost hour

[alicia_h]

It's Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. And Michael York too! Oooh and Victor Spinetti of Beatles films fame! So it should be fun. :-)

It's going to disappear off iplayer tomorrow afternoon so I know I'll have to be strict with myself about when I need to start watching it.

Re: keeping the lost hour

[wytchcroft]

Oh that really does sound a treat!
i'm on a james mason marathon myself just now... some great films. :)

[wytchcroft]

ah yes editing... *looks guiltily at piles of paper...*
