Random Drabble
I haven’t finished my Harry Potter thesis, it’s still in the draft section. In other news my TV has started to exhibit some odd behaviour. It doesn’t switch on but there is a burst of volume for a few seconds and then it stops, an engineer is going to come out and try and fix it next week.
I’m going on vacation tomorrow to Scarborough. I have plans to visit York and the Railway museum that is there. I also want to visit (again) the North York moors railway, Whitby (excellent fish and chips), Goathland (home of Heartbeat) and the surrounding area. We’re going for a week so I have a full six days to fill. A day at the museum, a day at Whitby, a day (or two at Goathland), a day on the railway, a day around Scarborough itself. Sounds fun. I don’t quite know how it’ll all work out but I’ll have a weeks worth of posts when I return.
Have to pack today. I’m an electronics geek so it’ll probably take me a while, I’ve got a laptop, camera, camcorder, GPS, cellphone, removable hard disk, MP3 player and accessories. I musn’t forget either my extension lead or the adaptor for the hard disk as for some reason the standard plug is two pin. In the morning I need to put a couple more things for the TV on to record. If I want to use the guide (and thus get it right) I can only do a week in advance.
CSI:NY is on tonight. I’ll write my review of that tomorrow to post when I get back as well.
Oh, I didn’t post about the start of Heartbeat. It’s still season 17 just continuing from where ITV have left off twice. It’s not as good as the season 12 repeats they were running during the day but it’s not that bad. I don’t like Phil’s replacement, he’s mean and nasty. I also still don’t like Peggy, she ruined a perfectly good oppertunity for David because she was jealous and annoyed that she hadn’t been asked. It’s controlling and horrible. I missed Oscar he wasn’t in it. The cast feels bloated, like they hardly get any screentime. I don’t think it’s any larger than the season 12 cast, they just don’t work as well together so the episode is disjointed rather than flowing smoothly. Oh well it goes through rough patches and then bounces back. I didn’t like Steve Crane but Rob Walker who came after was my favourite.
End drabble I think.
